Bleacher Report; Is it time for Driver to go? 

GBPG- Driver is already working towards 2010 

As far as I'm concerned, he gets all benefit of the doubt, and as far as doubt goes, I don't have any.

What do you think?

This is the difficult part of pro football. One can certainly see both sides of the arguement and nod, "yeah....that's right".

He showed this last season he STILL has it. As long as he keeps playing like he is, i want him HERE.

That's exactly what I think. Driver did fall off toward the end of the season, but it's not like he became a liability. Part of it was that Jennings and Finley both stepped up their performances, and of course there is only one ball.

I think Driver may be able to transition gracefully into more of a third-down specialist in the coming years, but for now, he is still a quality starter and one of our most valuable team leaders.

Ok, let me get this straight.

You let Driver go. And replace him with...?

Jones v. Driver? Driver, hands down.
Nelson v. Driver? Driver, hands down.
Whoever our fifth WR is v Driver? Driver, hands down.

Driver v. some unnamed high draft choice? WE DONT HAVE DRAFT CHOICES TO SPEND ON WR, TED!

Driver v. some unnamed free agent? WTF?

Sorry, the "Bleacher Report" writer is fullashit.

What's next? Saying we should let Al Harris go just because Tramon Williams may have passed him so we can get Blackmon and Lee more reps and pick up Jarrett Bush again?

I hate this kind of thinking. It's one thing if you're talking about a guy like Westbrook who can't stay on the field - or even L.T., who isn't even a shade of his former self at this point.

But Driver just completed a 1000 yard season. There were several games that would have been lost if not for him. He's not a head case or a problem. In short, he's nothing but a positive for the team. Those aren't the guys you look to let go.

Like was said, Finley came on strong towards the end. So HE was getting throws that would have went to DD.
So we have another weapon. Is that BAD? You don't dump DD cause others are getting the ball too. It takes some of the pressure off him.

If Ted would let DD go, he better bar the doors.
IMHO there would be a larger backlash letting DD go, then there was when #4 left.

Now if DD would have slowed down and not been a leader on the team I could see this type of thinking, but he just went out and gave his all every game like he has since he was a 7th rnd pick nobody gave a chance to make the team.

Somebody got it right, GJ and JM stepped up their performances later in the year, they probably did take some catches and yards away, but everyone one of them has said it at one time or another, it doesn't matter who catches the ball, just that the job gets done.

LEAVE DD ALONE!!!!!!!!! :icon_smile: :icon_smile:

It's the off-season, these kind of articles will be swirling around until the draft. Writers have to fill their columns.
