Quote:It's not working out for him here.

 

There is a reason why the team drafted Lee and Robinson. If Lee can be the compliment to Shorts and Robinson heals up from the hammy and looks good in the preseason, and gets off to a good start in the regular season, all of a sudden, Blackmon doesn't even have a short leech, its completely gone. 

 

This goes way beyond whether or not Blackmon can still contribute to a football team, The scope of this issue is that Blackmon has a serious problem that has caused him to stay away from the game that he loves for an extended period of time.

 

It hasn't worked out for him so far, but it has nothing to do with "here". 

 

The team was smart to draft Lee and Robinson as to not count on Blackmon, but to view him as a luxury. That doesn't mean that they should do the stupid thing and simply release his rights. 

 

 

As said, if I'm running the team, he plays here or nowhere. Simply letting him walk is bad business. And stupid.
