I am a firm believer in the idea, that IF you perform well, then you deserve a certain amount of accolades. Sharper DID his job. Did he make mistakes? Yes, he did, but he made more plays, than he missed. That alone, warrants an amount of respect, when it comes to resigning. We're not talking about a guy who got burned in the superbowl for a touchdown. (Osama Young) We're not talking about a guy who gave up a sack, for a fumble, that lost us the game against the Cowboys. (Bushrod) Unless I've missed something in the games this year, I didn't see many mistakes by Sharper. He played his heart out, and made plays, when we needed them most. I'm not saying break the bank to thank him, but you certainly don't tell him, "Go ahead and see what else you can get somewhere else." When I go to buy a car, or any other major purchase, that statement alone, makes me WANT to buy it somewhere else, because that's the salesman, being a cocky sob, that is basically telling me, "I don't care if you buy from me or not."

Telling Sharper, to test the free agency, TO ME, seemed like a complete snub from the powers that be, basically saying the same exact thing.

With that said, I understand that these guys know more about what they are doing than I do, so whatever will be, will be. But we as fans, cannot get butt hurt, when our star players have no loyalty to the organization, and leave, when it's obvious, that the organization has no loyalty towards them. Many players have left, and done great things, and many of us hate them for it. But right now, you are getting a taste, of WHY these guys have no loyalty anymore.

Everyone on this planet has an idea of what they think they are worth, no matter what they do for a living, and having some "expert", tell you that you are not, doesn't, and SHOULDN'T change that belief.

I hate to see Sharper leave if he does, but if he does, after all of this, I won't hate him, or smack talk him, because I can understand why he did.
