Message: <blockquote data-quote="El Guapo" data-source="post: 473626" data-attributes="member: 5830">Such a cynical statement that I think is focused on TT and not the role of the GM/player relationship. When one of the most popular players on the team advocates for or against personnel moves, it has the strong potential to hurt the team. It's the same reason why coach/GM roles don't work. The GM should be insulated from the emotion of the game in order to make sound personnel moves for the long term success of the franchise. When you have Rodgers (or Woodson or anyone else) advocating for personnel moves, the fan base and/or media often jumps on board, making it much tougher for the GM to do otherwise. If the GM, in this case TT, is in favor of bringing in Clifton then there is no problem. If he isn't but Rodgers is advocating for it, he either has to do it or may face bad PR and/or negative fan opinions for not doing what Rodgers wanted. IMO, this is where Favre started falling out of favor by acting like the GM publicly. It's not good policy for the QB to make these type of statements.</blockquote>
