    Not Good Business

    Years ago when I started my paint company, I had one employee to
    start with. He had experience, a (veteran) if you will. He was fast
    (a good arm) but he was sloppy (paint on the glass causing more
    clean up time). I hired two new employees (rookies), both with little experience.
    Not knowing how neat they were, I just assumed they were slobs.
    So instead of putting them on 6 panel doors, or 8 pane windows,
    I gave them primer (you can't screw up primer) and directed them to
    the sheet rock (sidelines).
    When my veteran got sloppy, my next job was on hold until the
    cleanup (defense) was done. Job on hold = less money in my hand that day.
    (mediocre season record).

    I made a business decision after the first day of priming walls (first year on
    the sidelines watching). I put the rookies on the 6 panels & 8 panes..
    much to my liking, they were not slobs like my veteran.

    Then I made another business decision. I put my veteran on the primer (sidelines).
    Being fast with his good arm, he got the prep work out of the way sooner,
    (QB coach!! lol.) so my rookies could get the finish paint on and complete
    the job on schedule without the extra cleanup time. Money in OUR pockets.

    It's not good business to bide time with a slob & lose money (playoffs/SuperBowl)
    just because you're not sure how the inexperienced employees (rookies) will do.
    I would stick Drew on the (primer) and JP Losman on the panels & panes.
    If they're ALL slobs, place a "HELP WANTED" ad in the paper (draft).
    I didn't come here to fight, I hate fighting. Life is way too short to spend it on fighting! Go fight with yourself, one of you will eventually win!

    Interesting analogy, but this is getting REALLY OLD.

          I think this thread needs some turpentine.

            Pos rep coming. A breath of fresh air (paint fumes notwithstanding) into an old yet still valid debate.

                        You are blind to our critisizing other parts of the team. Every Drew bashing thread you post something about us ignoring others mistakes. You know thats not true.

                          one or two posts vs 200 doesn't look like you put much stock in the blame falling elsewhere. Besides, the point is, no one is blind to Bledsoe's faults yet we still have this divisiveness

                            DLC is just as much to blame for the divisivness as the Amigos. The "you're not true Bills fans" crap that people post leads to more anger and divisiveness than anything on this board.

                              I'll agree with that to an extent..though I think some people seemed almost happy that the team failed so they could pin it all on the QB...that's the negative about the Internet...you can't always tell a person's emotions in what they write
