Re: Coles' toe an issue already?

Coles was an utter warrior, did everything we asked of him and always gave 110%, can't take anything away from him. even hurt, he was productive for us. it's not like Brunell would've been able to throw that far if he was healthy.

now, i'll never forgive him for turning his back on us, but with all the uncertainty on offense i understand the reasons why he did. who knows exactly what he'd be like after the surgery, all that matters now is that we have fast in abundance, and hopefully we'll get the separation that was missing last year.

Re: Coles' toe an issue already?

I was one of the biggest Coles' fans before this last offseason, but I have absolutely no sympathy for the guy anymore or any team he plays for. It's kind of funny how every "expert" said this was a terrible move for the skins, despite the lingering injury problems Coles refused to have repaired and the explosiveness of Moss. If anything, Coles and his agent should get props for leaching over $20 million in bonuses alone from 2 combined clubs especially the extra $8 mil from the jets even though they knew the possible risk of his toe.

I couldn't have said it better myself. The guy (to coin a phrase) "played his guts out" for us for the time he was with us, and he didnt have the surgery because it meant he would have to sit out for a year and he opted not to last year because Gibbs came back, and he believed we were going somewhere. For him to give up after one season may be the best thing he could've done for us, so I'd just like to say "Thanks for giving us your all, and a chance to make it once it was gone."
