I really don't understand the level of hatred for a guy who has played less than a full season for us.

I go back to his 5 year history. He's an over rated prima donna, should have kept Springs. I've seen this guy get burned and taunt opposing WR's, commit personal fouls over the last 5 years (nothing has changed, maybe he's acting less cocky) and kill his teams. Did you notice when he made the interception that instead of getting out of bounds he wanted to take it to the house and risk a fumble?

Springs can't stay on the field though. He's always hurt, he's old and makes a lot of money. Sorry but he just wasn't worth the money even though he was our best corner. It was time to move on.

I ultimately agree. While Springs at age 34 is probably better than Hall still, we would just be delaying the inevitable by keeping him around.

So here's the question: if this problem gets worse before it gets better, will Blache have the balls to bench Hall for Kevin Barnes like he would with Rocky Mac, Carlos Rogers, or Chris Horton? Because to this point, all he has done is go out of the way to take the blame for Hall's bad plays while he throws lesser-paid players under the bus after putting them in bad situations.

All I've seen since Hall came on board is 2 wins, 7 losses, and a whole bunch of excuses (as well as a well played ball here or there). But the excuses aren't coming from Hall. They're coming from the coordinator.

So he gets a turnover deep in the opponents end of the field and he tried to score!?!? WTF was he thinking?!?!? Of course football protocol calls for a defending player to sprint towards the sideline when you get a turnover!

C'mon, really?? Stuff like this just convinces me that some fans are more worried about their personal agenda and biases than actually discussing football.
