Quote:Logically, I agree with you. It just makes absolutely zero sense to keep him on the bench, and I think Gus is starting to come around to the same conclusion. But let's not forget, Dave drafted him with the idea to sit him the entire year, and while he doesn't make the decision who starts and who doesn't week in and week out, this was HIS pick. Bradley would, in a sense, be going against the plan of his GM to do this, and I think that's where the problem lies. Bradley knows his job is safe through next year, he doesn't have to play Blake to keep his job. He also doesn't want to cause friction between himself and Dave. I assume when he said "we haven't had that discussion yet" in regards to Blake starting, Dave was one of the people he needed to have the discussion with.

That's a good point. If that were the case I'd hope Gus would have enough backbone to tell Dave what needs to be done and I'd hope Dave would be smart enough to see it as well. I think they do work well together and are on the same page. So, hopefully that's not the case. If the team keeps playing like they did on Sunday, their jobs would be on the line after showing zero improvement so they'd almost be forced to whether they wanted to or not. I don't think khan would be too happy if they got blown out all year. I don't think that will happen though.
