The injury thing is totally fair to throw at Albert, too. But you know what I'm getting sick of?
"BLUHAHARGH Albert commits too many penalties!"
That's a really stupid reason to downgrade a lineman's ability. The number of penalties he commits isn't outrageous or unacceptable at all; it just appears that way because our offense was so ****ing terrible for the first 10 games of the season. You know who used to get called for holding all the ****ing time? Brian Waters. Nobody remembers because the offense usually converted the first down anyway. When things are going great, you don't reach for stupid shit like an average number of penalties as a reason to not re-new somebody's contract.
I'm not saying Albert shouldn't be let go if his contract demands are such that we can't afford him. But people are going to choose to look at him as not a great player or a good player, and for many posters not even an average player. They're going to choose to think of him as a shitty player and point to garbage like "BUGH! HE FALSE STARTED A FEW TIMES! THAT KILLS DRIVES!"
Know what else kills drives? A RT who doesn't know his ass from a cloud of dust that his DE just left behind on his way to sacking your QB.
