Good regardless if he did something really stupid We need him on the field monday.
IMO

We need him on the field Monday, and possible throughout the playoffs.
We do not need him after this season though, IMHO.
He has proven that he will let the team down when we are counting on him.

I also agree that after the season he should be gone butif we wanna make a serious push for the playoffs and to do some damage we need him

Haha, I find it funny he gets caught smoking pot and it's the end of the world lets get rid of him.
But players like Lance Briggs who crash their cars drunk and endanger people's lives people don't seem to care about as much.

no no no no no.
We don't get it both ways, either he's unreliable and we don't like what he did, or he's fine.
You can't justify him playing the rest of the year if you don't think he should play for us next year.

Sure we do.
We can decide to bring in a decent free agent to replace him after the season.
That person will then get a chance to learn the system and all that.
That's the way the system works.

There just aren't as many good players available right now.

You add this to his stairwell incident and you start seeing a pattern.
