I'm not a fan of some of his antics, but I'd urge you to re-examine some of those comments about Winslow.
Sure, last season he wasn't injury-free, but while in a considerable amount of pain, he played better injured than a lot of people did healthy. He and Edwards were part of a great reception tandem. Pro-Bowls don't lead to championships, but getting selected for the Pro Bowl means his play was consistent enough to land a spot in the NFL All-Star Game. That says something for his ethic and effort.
I don't like what he's doing right now, but when he's on that field, he's played his heart out, and I'd attribute a lot of last year's offensive success to his ability to make incredibly difficult catches, playing through serious pain, and overall effort for the team.
