Why people are supporting him and questioning the coaches is beyond me.

Who's making excuses? Excuses would come if he was on the field and not producing. Kind of like the Holdman fans who call him "servicable" and say things like "he's where he's supposed to be". Hell, if where the weak side linebacker is supposed to be is constantly being blocked by a fullback or tight end, I could start for Washington. I don't think making a statement like "LaVar Arrington is immensely better than Holdman" is an excuse, it's a fact. And if anyone cares to dispute this, I certainly hope you have more ammunition than "coach says so", because statistics are a bit more effective.
And people keep making the comment that Pro Bowls don't mean anything and it's a popularity contest. I agree with the popularity contest part, but how do you think a player becomes popular, by just going out and "being where he's supposed to be? No, they do it by making plays, which is what LaVar does. If you guys think our defense is perfect and Gregg Williams is god, then don't whine about no turnovers or sacks, which is exactly what LaVar brought to the table.
