Why would Clark have to give permission?

Pioli runs the team and he's running it into the ground.

I would think the owner would intervene if he's already made his decision that the GM won't be back next season.

Is Pioli truly in the know?? You know about the whole world ending in December.

He was garbage. Pioli made a reactionary move after the loss of Carr and in typical Pioli fashion, made the wrong move.

The move to cut him, in and of itself, shows that Pioli is truly scared for his job and wants to appear like a rational guy to possible future employers.

He's a goner and he knows it. Now, we do, too.

I hope you are right

Damn I hope you are right. This whole situation just screams of utter incompetence.

the move to cut Routt actually shows that Pioli might get to stay, not that he's gone.

He gets to play his guys now. Arenas, Brown, etc. He had to convince Clark that he flushed 6 million down the drain of Clarks money on Routt and to show that he wants to right the ship, cut Routt as an example.

Cutting Routt shows nothing of Pioli being gone. If Pioli's gone what does he care if Routt stays or not. Same way with Haley. Haley didnt give a shit if it was Palko, Cassel or Orton starting. He was gone. Pioli's middle finger would have been to keep playing Routt.

Wouldn't be surprised if Gunther is watering at the mouth & Routt ends up in the Motor City.

They do need help at the position.

Cutting a CB thinking it's going to solve your defensive problems is just as dumb as giving a huge contract to a corner thinking it's going to turn your defense around. Routt hasn't been great but if the front 7 was doing their job this wouldn't happen.

I think it was a good move actually. I saw that SOB quit at the end of the game last week. Cutting him is setting an example.

Might as well see how good Arenas can be outside or if Brown is gonna look any better. Nothing to lose.

Plus wouldn't we owe Routt a lot of money next year anyway?

You mean the game last week he was a healthy scratch for?

Other than attitude, this doesn't make a lot of sense. Routt played well this season. He was in position to make plays. And even had 2 picks. We forget he had a tipped ball for a td against at TB him which was luck. And one the wr made a helluva jump over grab. He wasnt that flag drawing db we thought he was and imo, he WAS coached up.

I guess if he was a cancer then its best for the team but he's lived up to his paycheck if you ask me.

How does allowing more yards than every starting corner in the league, save one, equate to "well?"
