I would have been screaming, both because of his height as well as his prima dona rep. Guilty as charged.

No doubt. That's why fans are so smart, most of our analysis is hindsight based.

Exuse me for a moment, I have to go to the bathroom and cry. This is the most messed up news that I have heard all week.

A guy that has proven that he can play on Sunday's is cut because they don't like the way that he practiced. I'm sorry but I will take that over a guy who can practice well but not play. (Taylor Jacobs)

He proved he can play on Sundays huh? Now that's news!

Everytime that he got the ball in his hands he did something with it. Don't forget the game that he had against the Saints. You cannot make plays if they don't give you the ball. I saw plenty of games last season where he was wide open and wasn't thrown to.

He is gone and I cannot change it I guess that the Skins will get someone else. My opinion on him is my opinion and I will not budge on it though.

That single 100 yard game sure carries a lot of weight with folks eh?

Looking through his game logs you'll find far more 3-19, 1-7, 2-38 type performances.

Look, I was rooting for the guy and he's got some talent. He'll catch on somewhere else and contribute. I just don't think we're losing the next Larry Fitzgerald or anything.

I would call that single game a fluke too if I had not seen him get so open so often.

Against a Saints defense that helped convince the Eagles to trade us McNabb. Let's leave it at that.

Maybe he should convert to running back because if he can't get open he isn't going to get the ball in his hands.

I wonder where he will land??
Theres seems to be a huge disconnect from what most of us fans (self included) and what insiders -(coaches/occasional media) are able to evalaute talent/potential. I had high hopes and realistic patience w/ DT. Afterall he was a valuable position in the draft for a team that NEEDS draft picks. Just sucks to feel like we wasted time/money/other great players ( i think desean jackson was even available then but we wanted a big receiver which i couldnt argue against but dag jokes on us again).

One of these years we'll get it right and not keep drafting taylor jacobs' and stop missing out on the a.boldin's.

The shape of this team is really suprising me, HTTR, I trust Shanahan.

I loved the performance, but lets see it a couple weeks in a row.
