    Letting go of VY was the correct move. Now you can evaluate Fisher, and hopefully let him go as well. You could not fire Fisher before cutting Vince because of the precedent it would set that the owner would choose a QB over the entire front office and head coach. Now that Luck is staying, I actually wouldn't mind tolerating one more year of Fisher having a losing record and having a chance to draft Luck or Barkley next year. Both are far better then any QB in this draft. Then we replace Fisher and draft an elite franchise QB. One more year of suffering would be worth landing one of those two.

    Don't think you can place the blame on VY's lack of internal fortitude on anyone but Vince. He's mentally weak. He can't take the pressure of a starting qb in the NFL, can't take criticism, and can't handle negative crowd response. He is his own worst enemy, and until he grows upa nd quits hiding behind excuses like it's Fisher's fault, or anyone else's fault but his own for the fact he pouts on the sidelines or throws his equipment into the stands he will never be a success in this league. Who wants to follow a spoiled brat like that? You need a grownup as leader of your club. Someone who the players respect. Until Vince deals with his own inner issues, this will be a recurring theme wherever he goes.

    He was a 21 year old kid who grew up with no father figure and got thrown millions of dollars at him along with imense pressure to be great. What did you expect? Derek freaking Jeter to suit up for us at Quarterback??

    We all know VY is immature, soft, and overreacts to small things. It's been beaten to death with terribly dry Creeping Cruds jokes. My point is it shouldn't have warranted him being released with the W's he was producing and the L's the team was putting up without him.

    I like winning on sundays. Don't really care who puts on the pads to get it done, or what issues he has. I'm not so sure about the rest of you..

    And SureThing, in response to your Sig, I think Fisher will be gone after next year. The Bottom line is, they both are cancerous to the team, in different ways. One had be fired first.

    Nope. Just an adult who can handle the pressure of the job he's been given. Not too much to ask, and his background has nothing to do with his behavior in TN on Sundays. Time to grow up. Look forward to a new leader for the team who can handle adversity.

    So your saying him growing up without a father, or the constant pressure he was under by fans, media, and even his head coach, didn't contribute to the stunt in his maturity growth?

    In a perfect world we all would have wanted a QB that had Ken Griffey Jr's character and the ability to win football games. We had one of the two, and I'm struggling to figure out why that wasn't good enough for the fans. Especially when you see guys like Brett Favre who is a pervert, Big Ben who is a rapist, and Michael Vick who is a dog murderer. 3 Rings between them.
    And we cut VY for something as silly as immaturity.
