I agree that "Haynesworth is out of shape and needs to be on the field more" is blown way out of proportion. Now, it does look bad when he is getting carted off and then comes back in but who cares. When they signed him, they told everbody that he isn't an every down player.

IMO it comes down to jealousy and the # victories. Because they were 4-12, the media (especially the local media) loves to pile on how we spent 100 million on this guy and got worse (the 100 million is another popular inaccuracy). People are jealous of Albert so they feed on any negative out there.

Nothing this guy does is going to live up to the expectations created by his deal. He could have an All-Pro year in 2010, lead us to 12-4 but if we lost in the playoffs 10-7, I guarantee that the same jerks that blast him daily now (Andy Polin/Steve Czaban) would still repeat the same stupid jokes about him.

Every team would love to have him and his peers voted him the most dominant player in the NFL.

That's the same old story with virtually every player in the league. When things are going well they're heaping praise, when they go bad it' just the opposite. It's not limited to the media, fans are that way as well. I think we'll all agree Haynesworth is definitely an impact player who suffered only from lack of conditioning as well as being utilized in a fashion that prohibited him from being able to help the team the way he really wanted too. This year will unveil the new and improved version of Albert Haynesworth.
