I think Gertie has shown he's not GM material...he is a high-level personnel guy, and probably pretty good at it...but he's in a role he's not equipped to do. I'd never be in favor of dangling that carrot "if he's fired will you stay?" in front of 12 or any player.
If Murphy truly believes Gert is the best man for that position, then he has to stand by him. But that also brings into question, is WMM the best man for that position? IMO, nope. Hasn't been for a long time.
This whole thing has spun way the fuck out of control...way worse than it needs to be. And we have two camps...those that want to vilify 12 as being a diva, and those that want to vilify WMM and Gunt for stumbling over their own dicks mishandling the situation.
Yeah...12 is a bit of a diva...but name me one HOF QB that isn't? He's highly competitive and wants to win. Gunt, like most personnel guys, is dug in on not breaking from his system. Just like bean counters will always try to find the cheapest way to do something.
7 days...first day they can trade him. Kind of wish they would at this point TBH.
