Is he still in the doghouse? I know top 10 pick doesnt always equal NFL success, but he was successful in Arizona, and even as recently as in SD despite his injury. Was there something beside the steroids that I dont know about? Just seems that he is being under-utilized.

he has been put on IR for 2 years in a row... the kid cant stay healthy...

I am disappointed though... he really worked hard to turn his reputation around. He lost weight when asked and kept his mouth shut... its a shame he couldnt get on the field...

stryker · 02-05-2006, 05:19 PM

yea i agree with my brother on this one.....he's just been a flat out disappointment. I mean, i didn't expect him to be a probowler or anything of the nature, but I expected him to be at least, AT LEAST a solid #3. I remember watching him in Arizona and being amazed with his abilities. Oh well, you can always hope...

Any chance the Phins give him another shot (min plus incentives) or is his time in Miami done?

If he could stay healthy maiby he would be ok. But since he cant play more than a few weeks without getting nocked out for a few games. He was a pointless pickup to begin with

I really like the guy, but it looks like his days in Miami are over.

I wouldnt be suprised if we brought him back to a min with incentives contract. Somtimes knee injuries like the one he had just take more than a year to heal, he never was healthy last year. I say bring him back and ride him hard in camp to see what he can give you, if it looks like the knee is still a real question than you just cut him loose.

I agree with that 100%. If he doesn't show marked improvement in camp then cut him loose. But I think we should at least give him one more shot.

the dude is injuried for career.

Prime · 02-05-2006, 10:08 PM

I love Boston's size and toughness, but he is just worn down now. Those injuries is really hurting him and he just doesn't seem to fine him a place in this offense. It would be best for him to go somewhere else and compete for a spot.

Dolfan11 · 02-06-2006, 10:30 AM

His size and speed are attractive, but he should just hang it up and go compete for Mr. Olympia. He'll probably have more success at that, baring all the injuries that have kept him on the sidelines.

he has blown out both knees and just doesnt have the same push anymore.
it doesnt help that they have found out about balko because now he cant recover from his injurries.
