You think quality of play is the reason sportswriters hate players?  I said
he was a Pro Bowler with Denver and that he was 5-1 as a starter in TB but I
never said he wasn't a prick.  And I'm sure replacing Elway was a factor as
well.

TB made their decision based upon the cap.  Denver was affected at least in
part by off field issues though I don't think he got along with Shanahan.

I'm sorry but that's really not entirely true.  Its true now.  If you said
it about what he's doing now, great.  But please don't try to re-write
history.  The facts, not to mention my own eyes and memory, indicate that at
least part of the time he was pretty good.
