He has addressed the team before big games and his passion for the Burgandy and Gold is second to none. When he criticizes the team it is because he hurts when they lose.
He also does a weekly radio show with Big Joe and they talk to Portis every week. I guarantee that he has several good sources on the team.
Bringing in Leftwich doesn't seem so far-fetched. He is a traditional pocket passer and a Veteran.
Saunders gone. While I don't want to see it, it seems very natural given all of the blame that he is receiving.

Understood, I remember Doc fondly in #88 w/the Hogs & I know he's still around the team. But the fact is, he now works for the media for a living & he is a sr. citizen to most of the players. They may respect him more due to his playing history, but he's not necessarily going to get better inside info than any reporter, unless he's particularly good at it, which I don't know that he is. Anyone who talks to him has to realize that he's on tv talking quite a bit.
He may have sources inside the team as you say, I'm only judging what I've heard from him on comcast & other stations. Maybe one of his sources is predicting both of these things, but doesn't really have anything of substance at this point. I sure hope so.
