Message: [QUOTE="jekelish, post: 1114690, member: 82"] I hate to admit it, but my first thought reading through this thread was, "Well, we'll be fine at running back anyway so we don't REALLY need him." So in other words, I absolutely agree with you. Don't get me wrong - I hope these kids do very well. I wanted to see Jerome make it with the Falcons, and I hope he gets a chance with another team soon. But the fact is that, in most cases, these are kids who play for our favorite teams. If they didn't, we'd pretty much never care about what happens with them. It's the cold hard fact of sports fandom. Once a player stops wearing your team's jersey, you tend to put him out of your mind in most cases. [/QUOTE]
