I like what Mark Brunell does for our team, 1000 times more than I like what Lavar does for our team. Mark and Joe are the same type of man. I know that no matter what happens, Mark will not shoot us in the foot if he can honestly avoid it.

LaVar has already come out and said that he would restructure. I also know he's restructured more than once for this team. He complained one time to the media before the Eagles game. How much did it hurt the team? LaVar said all the right things to ESPN when he had an interview about his being benched. He put the blame on himself. I don't think that you can say LaVar isn't a team player.

I do agree that Mark is a team player, but I don't necessarily agree that LaVar isn't.

As for giving either the benefit of the doubt, I thought it was all just business. That means we shouldn't give anyone the benefit of the doubt cause emotional attachment has no place in these decisions.
