Why do you feel bad for him? I just felt like we made a bad deal. He was hurt in 2009..signs a nice deal with us in the year after he's hurt...then seems like he's about ready to go then bam..some more reasons he can't play. Just seems like he got paid and we didn't get much production for it.

He's not some bum who just wants to sit back and collect a pay check. He'd rather be healthy and playing. The constant set backs have to be frustrating.

Seems that whenever a player has injury issues the assumption is he's lazy or just wants to collect his $$ without earning it. And of course the fans bring the hate for that.

maybe because he played like a champ in NO, then got here and has been the most underwhelming player in the past 5 years, unless of course you count McFlabb. The guy is a pain in the franchises neck (or knee), since he is an expensive IR addition all the time, and we have to expose our franchise QB to journeyman backup tackles that get beat on a consistent basis. But even when he did play, he was VERY mediocre, almost bad.

um, your history is off. JB didn't play like a champ in NO, that's part of why they traded him. he got like a millionity false starts called on him. not saying he was a chump, but it was a bit of a surprise when they let him go.

our mistake was giving him a big contract, or not doing due dilligence i guess. he's still not making tons for a starting tackle, but for a guy that isn't playing... that hurts.

Would you rather us be hating on Shanny? Not only did he trade a valuable pick for a injured player, but he doubled down on that SAME frigging injured player by signing him to a contract in the previous off-season.

Exactly.

We absolutely need a RT this offseason. If we get one this Offense will have no weakness. I also believe we should try and get a dominant guard too. Protect RG3 for more than 3 seconds and we could score 40 pts a game.

[Chico23231]

Its not that I hate JaBles but I hate the decision to stick with a guy, giving him tons of scrilla, and not having a viable option 2. This wasnt a never a new injury, Shanny and FO needed to have a better plan.

Maybe Compton can be in their future plans at Right Tackle, im hoping so. I dont think we need to do something drastic like over paying in FA. My wish is let Compton compete with a 2013 mid round draft pick and maybe another Vet. We shouldnt be satisfied with Polumbus, we can get better play out of the RT position.

No, not really. Did mention a couple of weeks back that they gave Compton a nice raise after a few teams sought him out. I suspect he'll get a December call up and will be in the plans for 2013. Think Maurice Hurt might be in the mix too.

I take it LiRebus isn't doing much of anything at this point.

So, he's been called up today per the Washington Post
