It's easy to play coach from home after the fact.
From what I can tell, Jerome Simpson gets more playing time at Wide Receiver at this point because he runs better routes. All I've read said CP was not ready to play WR in the NFL at the start of the season. It's not obvious to me the coaches messed up. CP has had very little impact as a route running WR, with several drops.

Well I would have to imagine that would NOT happen. You have to understand that the only reason those guys got the playing time they did, was because of the injuries/legal troubles and in turn, they were next in line. If that's not Frazier's fault then I don't know what is. Much of this boils down to him being fired tomorrow along with many other reasons.

And it's not easy to play "coach" from home....I've been saying Rhodes and Patterson should have been starters from day 1, I've always said Carlson was paid too much but at the same time, is underutilized, and Cassel should have continued starting after the Cleveland game. Cole obviously came out of the blue. However, this isn't something that I just came up with today....it's been an ongoing thing for quite some time now.

Frazier always makes adjustments. They just are not that good.

Does anyone know when a team can start re-signing its own free agents? Is there any lock out period after the season? Or can they sign their own free agents any time??


I know the external FA signing period begins March 11th, but not sure about internal free agents?
