That is short sighted as ****.

Call it what you want, but you can't place the blame on the guy that's been in charge for half a year. Sherman clearly thought that Dayton was dabbling in basically everything to the point that he thought it was a big enough problem to get rid of him and allow basically everyone else to stay. Piccolo easily switched to a more analytic approach and it takes time to see any type of results. Half a year isn't going to lead to anything substantial and Sherman will give him at least a couple of years to right the ship. It's frustrating, but like I said, you can't blame the guy that's been in charge for half a year and hasn't even had his first draft.
Anyone who thought this year was going to good is an idiot. We had to see if the young kids had anything to contribute. I'm not sure how people don't realize this point. So far they haven't shown much and so now people are going to blame JJ for the shitty results? It doesn't make sense. Sure he was in the organization with the last idiot, but that doesn't necessarily mean that he is an idiot. I mean maybe he is the same as DM, but I can't say that for sure yet and since Sherman didn't fire JJ, then we kinda have to give him some time. You think any GM worth a shit is gonna wanna come to this shitty franchise after we just canned another GM after just one year?
