I Can't Believe I'm Questioning a Gridiron Genius, But Why Did Bill Belichick cut Doug Gabriel?

I just don’t understand why the Patriots released veteran wide receiver Doug Gabriel yesterday.  It was obvious he had talent, based on his 24 catches in his first 7 or 8 games, but what happened in the last month?  He appeared in only about 10 to 20 plays after he fumbled in a home loss to the New York Jets.  But was that enough to have him benched and released from the team?  I really like what he was providing, but absolutely nobody knows what happened to him.  Reche fumbled 2 games ago, but nothing happened to him.  I hope Bill will clear this up for us soon, and I bid good luck to Gabriel with the rest of his NFL carreer.
