Isn't Kreutz the one that keeps getting the false start penalties when we're 3rd and short?

When you go through the grind of football for 13 years, especially in the trenches, you are bound to lose some of your desire to play. I know a lot of people are going to argue that he's make a lot of money to have fun or whatever, and quitting isn't being a team player or whatever, but really sometimes doing whats best for the team is doing whats best for yourself. Now someone that is more vibrant and willing can step in.

Sorry, you dont just bail like he did. He could of sat on that bench and at least have given tips to the younger players. He quit, left the team 7 weeks into the season. YOU DONT DO THAT. Shows a lot about his character the way he is bailing on us. So, get the hell out then Olin, good way to end your career buddy...not.

Eh, if he sat on the bench all season, we'd still have to pay him. That cap room can be used for someone else. Staying on the team while remaining benched would be more detrimental to the team than helpful.I don't really see the problem with what he did.
