You know, everyone of us gets treated proably worse than these players. If I **** up at work, I don't get cursed, I get FIRED!

Gonzo wanted out of KC for 3 years.
Waters is washed up and playing like ass.
Bowe drops too damn many balls.
Pollard whiffed too many tackles and was shitty in coverage.

And Vermeil, and Coughlin, and Parcells....

I remember when Parcells was in Dallas and after a game they lost and was asked by a reporter basically what went wrong he answered "We suck!".


I am sure that would send Waters into tears.

I think part of Petro's rant is nothing more than frustration at seeing guys who should have been making plays for us get cut then go make plays, or look like competent players, for other teams.

Well, at least according to Tom Jackson.

it's not nonsense, its a fact of life.

what Im trying to say is, if a person has good people skills, and is good with people thats a step in the right direction towards success. If people like you, then they'll have more of a desire to contribute and want to work for you. And I've seen coaches with great people skills who players love and it brings out the best in players.

Look at Wigman in Denver. But we were all ready for him to go. It has a lot to do with the surrounding talent. These guys he is whining about were supposed to be the surrounding talent to make average players better. Instead they were average at best themselves, save TG.

Wow, I forgot these guys were getting paid millions of $'s to play.

Very well said

More proof that Herm is an idiot. I was pissed when we let Weigmann walk. (and throw Carl into the idiot catagory on that one, as well)

This.

The TG trade I'll always stand behind - it was a good move getting a 1st day pick for a guy that plays a complementary position and was only planning on playing another year or two.

His points about Pollard, DJ and Bowe are dead on, and I can understand why people would be rubbed the wrong way by his initial handling of Waters and the subsequent comments made about winning 2 games with 22 guys off the street.

DJ seems to make plays every time he's on the field, yet promptly goes back to the bench after.

My thoughts on Bowe have been covered.

He has some valid points.

He needs to quit bitching about DJ. Yes he has more talent than all the rest of our linebackers combined, but he had four years to prove it and he disappeared and was amazingly inconsistent so i really don't give a rats ass what they do to DJ.

I wasn't, simply because he didn't fit the smashmouth system.

The stuff that irritates me more is when the suck is so obvious with guys like Goff, but we're benching DJ. Maybe the interior linemen are just THAT bad. I'd like to see Wade Smith a C and see what happens.
