"The only reason the Chiefs stuck with him is that Carl can't admit a mistake (not saying EG was one, but you gotta wonder)."
There may have been times when Carl wished he didn't sign Grbac to such a hefty contract. [b]Maybe[/b] he would have let him go by now if he wouldn't have had to take such a significant cap-hit. But, I don't think he's holding on to him because he is unable to admit a mistake. Admitting such a mistake to the media would be a cardinal error............."well guys, I wish I hadn't signed that loser to that contract, now we're stuck with him for the next ? years.....sorry Kansas City". The team would certainly have gone down the tubes if he had admitted that.
Anyway, IMO it's really beginning to look like he didn't make a mistake. I agree that a $10m bonus is way above what he (or just about any QB) deserves, but that will be taken care of. Grbac has only had a few bad games since the beginning of last season. Now's the time to stick with him, and keep him here with a [i]reasonable[/i] contract extension, and hopefully bring in a good QB from the draft as a back-up.
I figured if I debated a point with you, it might help you out of lurker-dom [img]http://www.ChiefsPlanet.com/ubb/wink.gif[/img]
