Just read the article. Perhaps this could signal a change in attitude about not speaking in public as much about past decisions and moves, and also about the fact that they have long term plans, some of which they will still not disclose - but there is some rhyme and reason to some of the actions.

Excellent PR. Doesn't cost a penny. The only way you could beat that would have been to have Ireland come out, cross the street and talk to the protesters. That would have been a master stroke.

Here is my issue, if they felt Marshall had to go, I'd disagree with it but understand their reasoning, however, you still have to replace him with someone, and Ireland did not do so, if it was not about the money then why not spend that money on a FA Wr who is ready to contribute?
Anyone else notice Ross called Philbin "my coach"? -

Sounds like a cop out in regards to marshall. Even if he is a problem with as many holes as the team has u keep him around at least 1 more season if you can't get a value trade for him.

From BMarsh's comments during Pro Bowl week he obviously didn't appreciate the QB that put him in the show. Just a bad teammate. You can't saddle a new HC with that kind of drama right out of the gate. The sad part is that Brandon has all of the physical talent to be in discussion with Megatron, Fitz and VJax but will never come close to reaching his potential because of his illness.
I felt the same way about Flynn, if Philbin was willing to put his 1st HC gig on the line with him, then I was all for it.
There is just something about Philbin I really like and I can't put my finger on it. I hope the players feel the same way and respond accordingly.djphinfan, dolfan7171 and Agua like this. -

Either way, he gone, who replaces him? -
Exactly about the night club comments, this is a lesson I learned personally if it is causing a problem, you change your behavior, he doubled down on it and got into trouble yet again, that is not mental illness that is immaturity. -
I wish we could cut or trade Mr. Ross and Jeff Ireland as well...! :pity:

Typically rookie WRs do take a while to develop, but I don't see another option. Aside from trading for Johnathon Stewart and taking some heat off our WRs. :up: -

According to the article Marshall was going to be cut for "Team Morale".......is this guy a locker room nitemare??
I like what Ross did here. He let us know we matter. He settled things by letting us know what was happening. We may not agree but a leader recognizes the need to intervene. Mr Ross did that and he has earned my respect!! I may not agree with most of it but it feels better to know we do indeed have a direction.

I hate our RBs lol. Outside of Bush being a great receiving threat, there's little to be happy about. I don't see one RB on our roster that's a reliable between the tackles runner. Waiting to see what happens w/Thomas would be very unwise, imo. Not saying cut him, but we need another option. -
Well, I was not thrilled with DTrain by the end of the yr, maybe nagging injuries, but he was not as powerful as he had been earlier in the yr, and you have to give Jerome Messam some looks between the tackles, I watched him play last yr and he was good.

Stupid is as stupid does...a PATHETIC attempt at damage control.
I agree with getting rid of Marshal, but flat out releasing him?
Didn't want Flynn, yet brought him in for a visit and offered him a contract. How do some fans believe this crap? Beyond me. Our owner likes to offer contracts to players our team doesn't want...:lol:
Is Ross really this ****ing stupid? Alex Smith turns down an $8 million contract with a team that went 13-3 and one game away from a Super Bowl, but Ross thinks he can fly him in for a visit and Smith would settle for less with Miami...****ING IDIOT!!!
Reminds me of when Ross denied going after Harbaugh last year and tried to do damage control by offering Sparano an extension.shula_guy likes this. -

Who cares right now what Ross says. Hes employing a GM failure. Buck stops with jug Ross. If he can manage as well as own then he should be gone with Ireland with his track record imo. I'm done with failed HC's, GMs and owners. We are a freekin joke. Also rans of the AFC
