I liked him a lot. He made some of the most clutch plays I've ever seen. I loved the leadership. He always had you on your toes and the game seemed to be like it was on the line with 1 play. You could make the argument that was a testament to how good or how mediocre he was. In 08 I never worried, no matter how close the game got because Jake and Smith would find a way to seal the deal, save the 09 Cardinal playoff game.

However I do put a lot of blame on him for the 09 season, that team could have gone far. He should have benched himself, just my opinion. If I knew I was holding the team back I would have.

I love Jake. Everything about his attitude and the way he played the game is the best that sports has to offer. He played the game the way it should be played. I will miss him so much this year.

Great video. Thanks for sharing. Nice song selection.

Neutral.

He's a good guy. Maybe he'll bring something special to Cleveland (wouldn't it be funny if he filled Lebron's shoes).

But his mental mistakes at the end squandered an opportunity to get another shot at the big game. I lay the Arizona game and 2009 at his feet. I can forgive him for this, and have. But I will probably never forget it.

    • It is a tough decision.  There is another factor.  Is he in game shape?  A tired Hunt is not better than an "in-shape" Corbett.  When coming off an injury, it is natural to want to protect the injured area, even if it is completely healed.  This can cause you to contort your body for no reason, lose fundamentals, and it could lead to other injuries.  For example, I had a knee in high school that required getting taped.  That made me aware of the knee (not used to tape on my knee) and I pulled my groin (favoring or dragging the leg with the tape).  The trainer explained the groin injury the way I do here--but scared money makes no money.  If he is cleared to play, he is cleared to play.  Watch him, rotate him in for a series, etc.  Specifically, I would want to watch the matchup--who is winning more--Corbett or Hunt?  How is the defense reacting (if at all) to Hunt being in?  Etc.  
    • Shannon was sued for $50 million (settled out of court, I believe) for forcing sex on his girlfriend during a two-year relationship.  He denies it, but ESPN let him go last April.  Chad Johnson's wife filed a police report because he head-butted her in a car and was put on probation. I had to google it.  I watched the Ray Rice video and when you see it, you realize just how vile and cowardly abusing a woman really is.  But for the same point Aussie tried to make, these women are defenseless, and being phyiscally bigger and stronger does not validate your actions.   I can't even stand to watch Steve Smith.  I can't normalize this kind of behavior--again, I do not think R-P had that in mind when he posted this.  When the reason was exposed, we should realize that we are talking life (quality of) and death (in some cases) here.  
    • I can respect the fact that we should not glorify or normalize men who have a history of beating women.  I do not think anyone was thinking of that when they posted this, but if head-butting your wife and unconsensual sex (rape) is something you cannot overlook, I agree with that.  I think they are both half-crazed attention hounds regardless of their pasts.
