And I do defend BB, because he is the best in the business.
Unlike others, I do not feel the need to stretch things into an unfounded criticism of him, because I can not imagine anyone doing a better job than him from 2000 until today.
If you ask me for a specific judgment on a specific decision I will give it, but if you try to pretend you know what goes in his his head, players heads,the lockerroom, the front office, the meeting with players, coaches, Kraft, scouts, etc, or what his relationship is with any player, you are simply guessing.
You are guessing that Thomas played poorly because he was taken off the field more, and guessed that BB didn't communicate that, that you wouldn't send them home, without a clue whether there had been warnings or repeated offenses (which I have heard there were) or whether BB had just talked to Thomas about being more committed to his play, etc, etc, etc.
You have created a scenario out of thin air to absolve the player based on events you have no clue happened, all with the result of trashing BBs management of the player and the situation.
Of course I will defend him against that, he deserves it.
Gvie facts without made up potential events, nonevents, thoughts inside someones head, and feelings, and you won't be outting yourself in a position of trashing someone unfoundedly.
