I didn't think after the whole Vick thing I'd find it hard to feel bad for the Falcons. But the Vick thing was funny, he's outtahere, and now they have a football team to run.
Enter Petrino. I thought at the time this was an oK hire. I think now he's a disaster. My general feeling is he is entirely and completely unfamiliar with the product in which he competes. He doesn't seem to know how to lead a professional lockerroom, he doesn't seem to know how to evaluate talent, etc.
The Leftwich Maneuver: So, having problems with Joey Harrington, Petrino got... Byron Leftwich? In the corporate world there's something called lateral movement. Kinda like when you get "promoted" but lose a couple of bucks and don't like the job as much. Or you get more money per hour but work less. I mean, if anyone is pretty much just another Joey Harrington, it's Leftwich. I see no difference between these guys, except for the fact Leftwich is more fragile.
The Dante Hall Fiasco: Well, here's one of your key players. You've done excellent disciplining him, but not so hot getting him to buy into your program.
The Grady Problem: oK So we want to set the tone in the lockerroom and trade Grady instead of Dante Hall who we clearly can't afford to lose. Brilliant.
Leftwich Part Deux: So this just in today-- Leftwich will start over Harrington when he's good-to-go. PETRINO-- THEY'RE THE SAME GUY. STOP CREATING CONTROVERSY AT THE POSITION WHEN YOU'RE NOT GOING TO GET ANY DIFFERENCE IN PRODUCTION.
What an idiot. Is this guy fired? Am I the only one who thinks he should be gone after the season?
