Man got released today. Poor guy, hasnt played since 2011

 

[RobBase]

That sucks. Hopefully he can catch on a as a coach somewhere. Really seems like football is his passion.

damn i didnt really hold any hope for the guy but hell if there was that one in a million shot i was hoping it could pop for us.

oh well his explosiveness in the first 5 of 2011 helped get us to the playoffs. lets give the guy his due and wish him well not being a vegetable.

 

[broncosmitty]

I was holding out hope we'd see him in action again.... Damn!

 

[HammerDown]

Sad story, really is.

Sad story, really is.

It's probably in his best interest to walk away from the game. He'll get another chance, but he's young and his mental health should be more important.

 

[Cleaves2000]

Hes got his health(hopefully), and he should be ok money wise.

 

[jayfan]

Though it was inevitable, still a sad day. Class by the organization to wait until his pension qualifications kicked in.

 

[Old Lion]

We all knew it was coming eventually. He just was not right anymore. Hopefully he has enough faculties left that it does not effect the rest of his life adversely. Like everyone said, he has a few bucks too so he can do most anything he wants going forward. I Wish him luck.

Sad news, that was exciting to watch Stafford, Megatron, and Best. If Bush can fill Best's shoes, I'd expect you guys to be right back where you were before he got hurt in 2011. (at least on offense)

I've been against the rule change about RBs not being able to put their heads down. It just dawned on me that Best might be the reason they changed that rule, did he get his concussions from hits he sustained while lowering his head before big hits? If he is the reason for that rule change, I might soften my stance on the new rule... cause I think it sucks his career is over.

This is really too bad. I wonder if he still tries to come back. He was a hell of an athlete.

 

[Naughtymax]

Good. Maybe if the guy retires he'll be able to speak in full sentences when he's 40. Getting your bell rung that hard, that often, is God's way of telling you to find something else to do.

Guy was so explosive when he was on the field closest moves to barry i have seen in a lions rb since sanders retired. Wish him well its too bad.
