quote:If you don't understand that concept go to the 49er dynasties under Di Bartolo where he flew his teams in private first class accomodation lavished them with large bonuses and gave them extra incentives to do well. After 5 Super Bowls I got the point. So did the NFL and they went about instituting the cap and all the other garbage that has made the NFL one level just above college ball...but nothing to get excited about anymore.
LL, are you arguing that, for one minute, Ronnie Lott would have tolerated Manny being Manny on the field, during competition? Are you suggesting Bill Walsh would have tolerated Manny dogging it on the field and taking himself out of the lineup?
Can you name one 49er during the time Walsh was the coach and GM and Lott played who ever acted on the field the way Manny acts on the field?
Bill Walsh got rid of guys (Lott and many others) who were giving 200% on the field before he thought their skills would start to decline.
To argue that either would have tolerated Manny for one game is totally implausible, in my view.
