Personally I agree with Matt Stover, I think Gene Upshaw needs to be replaced. He's done a good job over the years but I just think we need someone who is more willing to work with the owners in place, because the current CBA clearly isn't working and if he stays in place we could be looking at a lockout in the future. And this shows that there are some players out there that don't think he's the best option for the future. I support their cause and I hope they find a good candidate to replace him by next year. What do you guys think?
