I don't even want to get into last season, with the constant refusal to bench/cut Browner despite the fact that he single-handedly cost us at least two games last season. The whole 3-4/4-3/Rob Ryan fiasco last year and Payton's peculiar decisions about himself/Carmichael calling the plays. We just seem to have a lot of chronic unsettlement, if not dysfunction.

I was trying to put these things behind me, but Payton/Loomis keep doing things that make me think I shouldn't being doing that.
All valid concerns.

This costs us 2.6 million in cap space this year, but we gain that back next year in savings.

The only reason you cut him now is so you can eat the dead money this year and be done with it.

No one will ever confuse me as a GM but IMO it makes no sense. May as well cut JByrd while you are at it (sarcasm) .

Whatever
... Giants are still suiting up on Sunday @ 12.

In otherwords, there was a reason and we don't know why, but it is not important, right? Why the uproar by some then, huh?

Maybe because Spillers is better than Cadet, jurys out on Murphy so far and Lasco is a rookie is what most people are looking at. I think thats what the uproar is about. I can't blame anyone about this. Cadet is not a gamechanger like Spillers could be. Cadets never had a good season to date. Example Spillers in the Dallas last season hurt. Cadet ... well nothing comes to mind... ever. Not to mention throwing money down the drain, this season or next, that money could be used on a player that could help. I totally get the frustration,because it's habitual.

There are no players that can help. We have what we have. The front office is doing the best they can with the ****ty hands we keep getting dealt.

Well they have dealt themselves most of that hand with the roster they constructed.

I don't get the comment about the front office? They are picking the players.

The injuries! You can't do crap about that except for rolling with the punches. Our so called defense would be much better with every player we lost so far this year. Blame that on drunken assed Payton and that dumbass Loomis.
