Quote:Pronouncing the starter would be saying the competition is over. His stated belief (right or wrong) has ALWAYS been that competition brings out the best in the players. Therefore he's going to drag out the competition as long as there is even a sliver of a chance that one guy could flip a switch, have a great day and earn his way back up the depth chart for that week.

 

I can see disagreeing with the decision, but in this specific instance he is in perfect synch with his stated philosophy.

 

Ummmm, thats my point - the competition clearly ended (or should have) with McCray's production the past several weeks. He's now earned the gig. There should be no indecision at this point. At a LATER time perhaps Gratz could get a chance to win the job back if McCray should regress. But as of right now McCray clearly should have won the gig. 

 

The competition was how each produced in GAME action when they had the chance. McCray clearly won that competition to anyone with functioning eyes. It wasn't even close.  Now its time for Bradley to have to conviction to award McCray the gig, decisively.
