PS - All those people who\'ve said that AB will find a NEW way to screw up no matter what problem he fixes, what is the new thing this year? He\'s fixed the fumbling problem, he\'s not exactly out of control in the interception category, etc. What is it that he\'s found?

Uh, how about underhanded/backwards passes while under pressure? Does that count? LOL. Yeah - he\'s found new and exciting ways. Oh - and the fumbles are down but the INTs are up. TDs are down too I think. So is completion percentage.

As for cleaning house, that\'s exactly what we need - we just need it in the management/leadership category and not the player personnel area. We need better coaches and scouts. No question. That is the root of the problem. However, if there is one player who most embodies this coaching staff, who is it? One guy who is as inconsistent, shows flashes of brilliance followed by flashes of retardation, who never seems to \"get it\", who is a \"leader\" with no followers... who is that guy? It\'s AB. AB is the one player who most represents the Haslett regime and he should go with them IMO.

Now, I\'m not dumb enough to suggest that we simply get rid of him regardless and see what happens. There needs to be a plan. And it needs to fit with other plans like DT, MLB, o-line, WR, etc., but QB SHOULD be in there and an AB exit strategy needs to be formed when the new staff comes in. That\'s my opinion anyway.
