I'm saying it doesn't matter. If the players wanted to boost their stats and McCarthy let them. Then good for McCarthy. He has to win over the locker room. So your point of view doesn't matter. Who cares why he played the starters. What happened has happened and theirs nothing you can do to change it. It was probably a mix of both scenarios...who knows?
There's no guarantees that resting our starters would have allowed us to beat the 49ers anyway. So what's the point of questioning a decision that's already been made? The reason behind the decision is moot. It was a win for the team, the players, and a win for McCarthy in the locker room. I'm not seeing a down side there.
You've been saying they didn't play Pollard because they wanted Zeke to get to 1,000. That's simply not true. Pollard was ruled out for that game. But if your curtailment of the situation to be negative, then by all means be yourself.
2 wrongs dont make a right. Either way, MM is stupid for letting them do it and Zeke is a stat hording, me first idiot for not resting for the playoff game.
Why Pollard played or didnt play has nothing to do with Zeke. Hell they could have given Dowdle a game to show what he could do if they wanted. But no, Zeke had to hit his laughable milestone.
And the fool was too beat up and tired to show up the next week.
