DM simply wasn't playing well at all, he should have been benched after the Detroit game. Amazing that after not having started a game since 2008, Grossman of all people is able to step in and do 2 things DM hasn't done all year, throw 4 TDs and put 30 points on the board.

DM is a great guy and I really wanted it to work out for him here, but if it doesn't and someone else can step in and perform at a higher level, get his ass outta here and let's move on. All this BS about respect, or crying about they didn't cater the offense to me, just totally rubs me the wrong way. It's an obvious ploy by DM's agent to get him outta here sooner rather than later.

Not too many people will argue with that. It's the way in which DM has been handled - specifically the Detroit game - and what we gave up to get him that's so disconcerting.

I don't think anyone is going to argue that he was playing really well.

MS could have handled the Detroit benching better, sure. He should have just said DM hasn't been playing well so we were looking for a spark from Grossman. I think everyone could have lived with that explanation.

Why he tossed out the silliness about him not being in shape, who knows. MS isn't known for being a slick handler of the media, and often he would be better served by just saying less. But we didn't hire him to be a PR guy, we hired him to win football games. I'll live with all the PFT type of tabloid drama as long as he gets this thing turned around.
