I don't understand the reasoning behind Bengals fans turning on players, calling him "washed" etc. He may not be able to continue, but if that's the case, just let him go. No need to diminish what he meant to this team for years.
I get it, but people are looking for change. We just watched an offense that might be the best in the league get pissed down the drain because of a dumb, soft, and poorly constructed defense. One or two key stops and we wouldn't be sitting around rooting for the Browns like a bunch of bums.
The team does players like Sam few favors when they pretend that their play hasn't diminished. It's not fun to see a player as popular as Hubbard get dragged, but it probably shouldn't have even come to that. Even when he was hurt, they kept running him out there as a shell of himself. It's not so much a player problem as it is a coaches discretion problem.
