Maybe, but at the end of the day, you are either a football player, or you're not.

rue. I was jest remembering him saying that the NFL was easy when he first started with us. Then we have an apparent lack of work ethic. And then there is the tapping out. I think it is a little overblown, but he has to understand how his words and actions affect his leadership on the team. Maybe with a fresh start, he could fix those things I mentioned.

AR has big issues but what I’m talking about is being second or third string here. Any QB we have at that spot would have huge issues. Sounds like it’s a moot point anyway.

We resigned Mo. I like him in a blocking backup role.

AR may always be worthless, but I still can't wrap my brain around a trade at this time. Getting a draft pick that is almost a certainty to end up getting cut? Doesn't the cap hit remain the same whether he's on the team or not? Wouldn't we get a conditional pick next year if he's a free agent loss?

I don't see his being on the team a problem for DJ or Leonard. If anything, I would think Leonard would work harder if he felt he had competition for #2 from AR.

Bottom line, AR may never be a solid pro, but since there's nothing to gain by dumping him and the slightest of chances he may yet be productive, I say wait til next year to decide.

========================

OOPS, I JUST LOOKED IT UP, AND IF AR IS TRADED THE COLTS SAVE 5 MILLION, SO I WAS WRONG. I STILL DON'T THINK THEY SHOULD TRADE HIM.
