It really makes you philosophical about what is excusable as a reason not to produce in a league predicated on production.
There is an almost infinite line of folks who likely wanted to be an NFL champion just as much or more than Eric, but they were too short, or too slow, or not talented enough.
I hated Cassel every minute he was here, but I never doubted his sincerity or effort. Is a talent deficit LESS worthy of compassion than a health deficit?
When it becomes clear that you are never going to rebound to complete fulfilment of promise, what does the organization or the fans owe you.
When your best isn't good enough, does it really matter why?
