And I could tell you the message being sent by drafting McPherson is hey, we will give you a SECOND chance, just not INFINITE chances. Do you agree Sully has had more than once chance to prove himself even a half decent football player? I say hell yes he has. He had training camp last year, when he reported fat. Didn\'t get underweight before the season. Due to ineffectiveness was made inactive. Then abused the fact that he was inactive to make a bigger joke of the team. I would say what is being asked to keep him is more than a SECOND chance. It\'s closer to infinite. Then he says he has a changed attitude, and still shows up overweight to the conditioning program. I don\'t care if it was 20 pounds as opposed to 50, overweight is overweight. What was he doing the whole time he wasn\'t playing but eating.

Kool, you seem to be of the opinion the only message that can be sent by cutting Sully is don\'t be lazy, and thus would require an overwhelming number of lazy players to be sent. Not at all. You can send the message to players who seem to have gotten complacent that they need to improve too. That positions on this team are no longer an entitlement, but they are earned. It doesn\'t just effect lazy players, it effects the whole atmosphere of a team of underachievers. If I am there, and they cut a guy they gave up two first round draft picks for just two years ago, I am no longer under the impression that I am sitting in the catbird seat and I actually need to get ny but in gear. If not, I could be next. And it needs to be like that IMO.
