Because if he didn't, people would say he's soft.
No way some of these players and coaches can win with some people.
Agreed. It wouldn't matter what happens they'd be wrong for doing it that way.

Who cares what we would be saying?
Are you saying that Flozell Adams makes his decisions about playing or not playing thru an injury because he's worried about what the fans will say?
That's crazy.
If the guy is going to be ineffective then get off the field.
Apparently a whole lot of fans care and believe that the players, coaches, and owners should care rather they think they're tough enough, smart enough, or good enough.

people that can start at LT arnt walking around on the streets in the middle of the season...maybe guys who could start in the Arena League, but not the NFL
Correct. There isn't anyone not currently on this roster that is going to be signed to play LT that can actually play LT in this league out there right now.
Unless some quality LT is about to be cut by some team that just suddenly decides they don't need a good LT.

I don't think that matters. I think Flo says I can go and that's it.
Then he stinks it up and the coaches dont pull him.
Who is in charge here, the players or the coaches?
I think the coaches listen to the players on rather they believe they can go or not but I don't believe that they allow the players to make the final decision. If a doctor says the player shouldn't play that player isn't going to play no matter how much they talk.

when did I ever say that?
all I'm saying is if the staff thought that benching Adams would be a GOOD move, they'd have done it...regardless of what we all think of Wade and some of the other coaches, you cant convince me they WANT to give the team LESS chance to win
I agree. The fact that they wont pull him, or bench him, tells me that they have absolutely no faith, at all, in what they have behind him to actually come in and play.
Now that is their fault, I agree, cause they went into the season with that lack of confidence in their LT back up options but at this point in the season there is simply nothing they're going to replace those back ups with that they're honestly going to believe is better than what they've got.
