Imagine There's No Thompson ...
So, imagine me sitting there in my easy chair, brooding in my cavernous mansion, grasping a glass of brandy with my thin, clawlike fingers and a superior smirk on my greedy, soulless face. I'm reading the paper and I see that first year offensive coordinator Jeff Jagodzinski says:"Coach (McCarthy) and Ted (Thompson) will decide how many snaps Brett will get."
Spit take.
Since when does the GM make decisions about the number of snaps a QB gets? Isn't that the coach's call?
Some nay-sayers said that Thompson picked McCarthy because he didn't want a coach who came with any track record of excellence that would overshadow Thompson, ...so that he could control the coach, micro-manage the team, and have a ready scapegoat in case anything went wrong.
Also, he didn't want anyone who might someday take his job.
This doesn't look good.
