Agreed.
Like you said - I have no issues with the decision to let Morse go. That was a harsh reality of a cap league; you lose guys like that to the cap and you hope that you gain guys like Mitchell Schwartz because OTHER teams lose them to the cap. It's the way the league works.
You just have to have credible replacements for them. When it was Hudson we lost, we got Morse. When it was Morse we lost, we spun the wheel on a guy who gave little indication that he was a real long-term option.
My frustration is with the blind spot Reid appears to have for him. Why does Andy think he's good? Why is he so inflexible here? And the answer is mostly that this is just who he's always been.
Andy doesn't **** with his OL. Usually you know who he's going to have starting games in week 17 (health permitting) based on who he has starting them in week 2 of the pre-season. It's frustrating but it's clearly his philosophy - continuity trumps all.
