I see it this way, fam --
Id be willing to roll the dice, however unlikely which I acknowledge, on Manny making a decent hire than keeping ANY of these guys we currently have (I actually like Stroud for the record).
We all know Manny loves his Yes men and doesn't want to be challenged, but what good is a 5 star recruit like Williams if he's just going to be coached like dog sheet and in a bull**** scheme where he takes bad angles and is constantly getting targeting penalties?
I hear what you're saying and odds are it's correct, but I'd be willing to gamble that Manny knows he needs to go big on the defense. Might lose that gamble. But I'd take it. I mean he hired Fran Brown once, so he's not that totally lost. Maybe we get lucky.
