I don't see Brian running to Carl's office asking for a trade just because things aren't going well right now. |

TG is all those things. There's a difference between those two cats. I like Waters. I think he's a good soldier. But, he's not looking for the same things Gonzo's looking for out of life. FAX |

That's what's great about offensive linemen. They know that they are the 5 most important players on the field, and don't bitch a bit about the lack of recognition they get. Will Shields played here for what, 14 years? Does Tony Gonzalez deserve a chance at a ring more than Will ****ing Shields? If Tony wanted a ring that badly, he shouldn't have signed a new deal. It's not like he signed, THEN Herm was hired. |

The other thing I would urge you to consider is that not all guys are the same. Waters is a different breed of cat compared to TG. They have different roles and different goals. Personally, I feel badly for all the guys who have played for us through the years. I particularly feel badly for all the guys we've drafted recently knowing that, in all likelihood, they'll never sniff a Super Bowl with this organization. I've said many times how much I regret all the wasted talent that has gone through this franchise at all positions. FAX |

They are being paid millions of dollars to play a kid's game. Not everyone gets to hold the Lombardi Trophy. |

The "goal" is to win the Super Bowl. That's how the whole deal is organized and all. FAX |

See the quote by Herb Brooks in my sig. I think if players took that quote to heart, the game would be a hell of a lot better. |

You have to be shitting yourself to think I would buy that comparison for a New York minute. Yes, TG has given a lot more than Waters has. Is Waters the best G to ever play the game??? He couldn't hold Shields' jock. |

Yes Tony is one of the best ever to play the game at his position. But he also was blessed with talent that made him a top 20 pick in the draft, and he has lived up to expectations. Waters, on the hand, was not blessed with that same God given talent. He was undrafted, bounced from team to team, and position to position, and through sheer determination and effort, became one of the better players at his position. He may not be one of the best ever, but he damn sure gave every bit as much of himself as did Tony, if not more.

All guys easily overachieved and got the stinky end of the stick when it came to carl. These are guys who for the most part didn't raise Cain or complain about much, they just went out and produced. Hell, if anything, I'm sick over Shields not getting a ring...
