I think we may be better off w/o him

You cannot overestimate the value of good team chemistry. I'm not convinced even a kid with his gifts is worth the constant drama he brought.
And he didn't want to learn or do anything except rush the qb.
And Tuitt might not develop the same.
And the kid potentially poisons the team with his Clausen-esque "get me to the league" mentality.
May be sour grapes on my part but this one doesn't seem so cut and dry. Our chemistry had everything to do with 12-0. He might have helped us against Bama but cost us Pitt or SC or stanford when the band of brothers stood together.
I do like his Mom though.

I know! I'm still pissed

...written about [fill in the blank, although I'm partial to the Cubs] over the past 20 years. "This year's going to be great! He, uh, cut his hair and everything!" The fuck you say.

But he has a good attitude!

I read Taggart's words, and this came to mind...

Kinda?

Well I told him to cut his hair and now he's a different man!

What a joke.

Still has to do something about those sideburns, though

Anthony Barr. Barr might be the better edge rusher, is more versatile, quicker and came with far less baggage.

I still can't believe he brought into Skippy's hybrid RB/TE role. That idiot damn near ruined him.

I do like the fact that Taggert kinda shamelessly attempted to Bogart credit for Lynch's new maturity.

Me, I'll go with the fact that the realization finally hit him that he was pissing his dream, and not to mention potential millions, away unless he grew up and changed. That and the fact that he had to sit there and watch his former defensive teammates go undefeated and play for a NC, while improving as a unit without him, had to have left a mark.

Oh, what could have been.
