I believe that BB has earned more than enough merit to forgo any "repercussions" from fans or from management.
I'm in the middle on this, so I get to be called a Chicken Little
and a Ball Washer.
01 ~ I believe that Bill The Mad (Genius) is both one of the 4 greatest Coaches of all time, and that he is arguably the greatest
General Manager of all time.
02 ~ OTG Philosophy 101:
Smart people do stupid things. Mad Bill has proven this
many times. If it was up to me, his 2nd Round Defensive Back Privileges'd be
revoked.
03 ~ Whatever point he was trying to make by benching Butler, it arguably cost us a SuperBowl...I've never seen'm do anything that stupid since...
giving away Jamie Collins...which arguably
won us a Super Bowl. Team Psyche is
crucial.
04 ~ Much as I'd love to overrule Mad Bill on occasion, I haven't
earned that right, nor do I imagine that he'd accede to it, if I or anyone else had: "In Bill we Trust" has been unfortunately co-opted by fools who assume that Mad Bill can do no wrong...But it is actually a fundamentally sound philosophy, at its core: If you revel in Mad Bill's magnificent body of work ~ I do!!
~ you accept his imperfections.
