Not to mention the bad effect of a "locker room cancer" on the team [Reply]

He's going to get opportunities whether Rice plays every game or no games. Toney is talented and still on a 1st round rookie contract. [Reply]
Just to be clear... The reason people are skeptical is that people acted like he was a good guy in a bad situation in New York because he was on good behavior for a few months. Only to repeat the same behavior that got him traded out of NY in the first place. Real cardinal sins like accusing the team of lying.
So yeah, put the work in young man. Give it a shot. But the leash needs to be very short. As dynamic as he can be it means nothing if you can't trust him on the field. And that's considering we're already doing him a huge solid even though we can never rely on him to stay on the field. We also gave mecole that second shot and although he made a key super bowl winning grab and it was only after he did his damnedest to fart away two of our playoff games. [Reply]
