OKAY...
There are three interwoven proverbs here (Quotes, Adages, whatever...). 007's scenario (as written) leads to certain 'situations' and questions that beg a closer look. These sayings 'speak' to "What Ifs"; "Wishes"; and "Uh-oh, something went wrong".......
1) What If... -- "If 'ifs' and 'ands' were pots and pans, there'd be no need for tinkers"
2) I Wish... -- "If wishes were horses, beggars would ride" ... OR, alternatively, "Wish in one hand and crap in the other, then see which one fills up quickest"
3) Uh-Oh... -- "For the loss of a nail, a shoe was lost; For the loss of a shoe, a horse was lost; For the loss of a horse, a rider was lost; For the loss of a rider, a battle was lost; For the loss of a battle, a kingdom was lost"
So, scenarios, situations, questions..... "I wish we could fire Tepper; I wish Tepper would ...; I wish we had drafted... (See #2 ^^^ up there.) There are a lot of 'moving parts' involved. Building a "team" is not easy. The success of every large "game-changer" decision is based upon a solid foundation of many, MANY small decisions. Without a solid foundation of little people, the bigger people would get lost in minutiae and fall into the hole they were hired to dig out of.... (See #3 ^^^ up there.) "What if Canales...??" Well OKAY, maybe. What if he doesn't..??? What if he fails miserably...??? (See #1 ^^^ up there).
This whole thing about Canales' hiring leaves a lot of unanswered questions. I'm hopeful, but I'm a realist and I'm not stupid (although some of you may question that...). Canales is being heralded as a QB "whisperer". He has "guided" this guy and "coached" that guy, and "made" the other guy into..??? SORRY... I don't buy it. Like I said, I'm HOPEFUL. But I'm looking at all of this with a jaundiced eye. I'm reading the stories promulgated by the all-knowing sultans of on-line mediocrity. And I'm taking it in and understanding it for the giant bucket of hyperbolic crap that it is.....
OKAY -- RANT OVER. ROE = "Weapons Free" - Arm thyself with thy "slings and arrows" and fire at will.....
