Quote:So what's the point in keeping what has essentially become "dead weight"?

 

If Gus and Co. are serious about changing the culture, set the example and cut Blackmon and move on. Hanging onto issues like these does nobody any good and keeps a dark cloud over the situation.

 

The best person that can relate to this situation is Cris Carter. The best thing for the Jags to do in order to help Blackmon is to cut him.  I would rather him succeed in the league with another team when kill someone under DUI or wind up having serious mental and health issues.

 

How exactly is he dead weight? 

 

He's not costing the team a penny in salary.  He's not tying up a roster spot. So, for all intents, he's not a member of the team.  If and when he manages to get back on track, if he's reinstated, he's certainly not dead weight to this team.  He's a productive member of the roster.

 

Gus and Dave have changed the culture.  Based on all reports, Blackmon is a model player in their system with the exception of an addiction issue that he needs to address.  His situation isn't allowing a dark cloud to linger over this team.  They're not distracted by what's happening.  The team has treated this situation perfectly by basically moving on, and looking at any future return by Blackmon as a luxury.

 

The Cris Carter example is exactly why you don't cut and run.

Like bringing your little whinefest into a thread that has nothing to do with the subject at hand.
