Nor should he.

Nor should he.

They sure as hell better accept and encourage his input though.

They sure as hell better accept and encourage his input though.

I'm sure they are--to a point.

I hate this part of a media-saturated world. We're nitpicking the smallest comments, second-guessing every move and coming to conclusions with just a sliver of information. All of the instant- and always-on news we get gives us the illusion that we know everything, when reality we know precious little.

Whiz and Graves (for all of their faults) are smart people and haven't gotten to their station in life without having some experience handling a delicate dance like this one. That's not so say they won't F it up, but you can bet they're weighing just about any angle we're proposing against some that we haven't.

This is not a "in whiz we trust" comment, it's just a grumpy pariah sounding off on armchair GMs (myself included). ...and I'm not leveling this post at you, DCR, it just happened to follow on to your post.

I hear ya. Fitz's opinion should carry more weight than most other players though. You get some extra clout when you are the face of the franchise.

This is right

Agreed.

And I will add that, what makes the media situation even worse, is that they will unrelentingly hammer a person with one question over, and over again, once the person interview begrudging gives a vague answer, it is then printed at truth in stone.

The media outlets are so watered down, and competitive that there is no line of truth and opinion in the media.

Fitzgerald has side stepped this question about 1000 times since the end of the year, and once they pry out of him an opinion, it is brought to the table as per said madness.

That is so BLATANTLY overstated around here. Is he? Yes. But who really cares? Players come and go regularly. This franchise will be here long long long after Fitz leaves.

The mere fact that a WR is the "face" speaks volumes to the year we had around here.

Larry Wilson? Still a face of the franchise years after he retired. Fitzgerald could be in the same position.

A DB for years the most recognizable Cardinal player nationally speaks volumes to the awful decades we have had as Cardinal fans.

Um, no it is not. Sure players come and go, but so do coaches. Why wouldn't management want to make sure that the coaches brought aren't going to clash with the players? Why wouldn't you want to keep franchise players happy? You don't keep franchise players by alienating them.

I truly don't understand your point here.

Fitz was still the franchise player with Warner here. Horrible year making the Superbowl and all with a WR for a franchise player.....
