Jeff, I have to disagree with you in regards to "holding Bidwill" directly responsible for this.
First of all, he no longer trys to "micro-manage" this team. I mean talk about damned if you do and damned if you don't.
For years one of the biggest complaints about him has been...."let football people call the shots...give the some freedom.....take of the shackles....etc.
I'm surprised that you, of all people now criticise him as if he were the one making the decision to keep starting Renaldo Hill, for example.
By the same token, Rod Graves can only do what he can as far as player personnel. He can't dictate exactly whom to play and when. Nor should he.
If Bidwill himself tried playing Al Davis or Jerry Jones, everyone West of the Atlantic would be crying to high heaven about his "meddling".
As much as I tend to rag on Hill, I don't think he's the worst CB in the league, and I DON'T question his effort. Bidwill isn't out on the field coaching these guys, Graves may be "on the field" at times....but he, as well as Michael Bidwill have to trust to Mac's judgement. If Mac says...." This guy will work....they either have to be willing to listen to that, or if they can't trust his judgement.....then get someone with whom they do.
I think I understand where you were generally trying to go with your post, but I think you got way off base in that regard.
