Not to get off topic, but I always find it funny how some fans assume pro athletes and coaches will 'be okay' because they make '6 to 7 figures'. The vast majority of NFL players and coaches reach their level of success due to extremely hard work and dedication. Football is their ultimate passion, and in most cases their life. Being set financially brings security, but not life fulfillment. Sure, they makes tons of money, but that doesn't make losing their DREAM job any less painful. On the contrary, I'd say it makes all the more excruciating when factoring all of the sacrifices made to achieve that rare level of success. Anyone who's ever had otherworldly talent and skill, who's made no excuses and given everything to achieve the highest level of success (i.e, top 1% in their respective industry), when it's over, they will experience a deep sense of loss unlike anything mediocre people will ever experience. This is especially true of elite talents who believe they have much more to contribute but are forced out due to incapacity, handicap, early retirement, etc. The point is, for them it's not about money, never was. It's about the passion; it's about the craft. It's about having the freedom to do what you love at a transcendent level very few could ever fathom doing. This is something mediocre people (with money as their prime motivator) could never understand.
Well, if they can't handle a random poster making a random comment on a message board, then that's on them.
Agree, but if what if opens up Reed and Mercilus to do more than just set the edge? Besides Watt already gets double and triple teamed. Will it really be much different?

They should already be doing more than just setting the edge if Watt is getting double and triple teamed. The point is, unless Watt can be a difference maker, the rest of the defense isn't good enough to compensate. Thus, why scheme to have him take on blockers?
why do people assume to know the role Rick Dennison had? Unless you are at practice or on the sideline, how would u know? I am fine with him being fired btw, just saying.

Different personalities a good thing. Successful people typically hire people unlike them to man other parts of a company, different view points and different ideas. Kubiak's stench was all over the damn team, just little mini-me's running around. This guy has me excited, just want to see Teddy, Johnny and Blake at the combine now.
