Someone suggested we put Coles on IR and make him get the surgery that may or may not fix his foot. Here's my question - and it has nothing whatever to do with the diagnosis:

How do you force someone to have surgery? Do you threaten to cut him? What do you do if he says, "So cut me. I'll get the surgery after you cut me and then get another fat signing bonus somewhere else. Take you threats and stick them up your butt."

Do you kidnap him and drug him and smuggle him into the OR with your surgeons waiting there to take over?


Someone else said that we should trade Samuels for a veteran back-up QB. No need to trade him for anything. Veteran back-up QBs are ALWAYS available at no price other than a minimum contract in the summertime. I cannot think of a team that would trade a veteran back-up QB for an offensive tackle who is going to cost about $10M in salary next year and who will be a free agent at the end of next year. Unless of course that veteran back-up is Jeff George from the Bears...
