Any other hard facts to share?
For anyone believing that Barber will never give a flip, they should support cutting him right now and never change that personal opinion.
I'm saying he is not going to give a flip that Garrett is nice enough to allow him one series of play.
I really have no idea what the point would be in playing the guy one series. He should either be a part of the game plan or not, no need to confuse matters.
If he plays, then he needs to be harshly reprimanded in some other way. (But how?)
If he doesn't play, again the message is sent that you as a player have to follow the rules.
By playing him at all you just confuse matters. Playing him a series and benching him will do nothing. If you do it without telling the team or Barber that he is benched and try to make it appear as a game plan thing, then the message of accountability is lost. If you play him a series and then bench him and let him know he's benched, the one series isn't going to give Barber a change of heart. How can you not see this?
