While I think Christl goes overboard, I appreciate his candor. I find his commentary thru the season to be a more accurate & timely description of what's going on than the rest of the stories on JSO.
Totally agree with this statement:
TT may make a lot of mistakes, but I think he's going to hit a few out of the park. I also though Christl made some good points about Sherman's drafts.
Having said that, he can be a real prick.
Also, Cliff's memory of Wahle and the cap situation were a little off...Wahle was due a big roster bonus which would put GB over the cap. So they had to renegotiate or cut players. GB tried to work something out with Wahle, but when the deadline came they had to cut him and he walked. Wahle had made comments while in GB that suggested he was unhappy...stuff like being the only OL who wasn't on the media guide, etc. The guy felt direspected, and CAR showed him the money. Can't say I'm thrilled about GB losing him, but I can't say I blame him for leaving. Either way, it's over and done, and we have 2 rookies on the OL.

I think Thompson deserves more patience than you're willing to give him. Plus, you can't run a franchise looking for scapegoats every year. You need to maintain some stability at least short term.
