Message: <blockquote data-quote="sschind" data-source="post: 951128" data-attributes="member: 10247">Its not really the decisions that have been put on hold its acting on those decisions.  I'm sure Gute has already decided what he will do if Rodgers retires.  He has already decided what he will do if he comes back.  He has already decided what he will do if he wants to be traded.  He can't make those moves yet because some of them are dependent on what Rodgers does but he has already decided what he will do. Do you disagree with this? If Rodgers decides to come back and one of Gute's decisions if that happened was to restructure Cobb can he still do that or is that option gone since Rodgers took so long to make his decision?  If one of his decisions was to offer Douglas 5 million a year (just picked a number out of the air) can he still do that or is that option gone?  If one of his decisions was to cut Z can he still do that or are we stuck with him because it took Rodgers so long?No one has said the direction will be the same no matter what Rodgers does. Obviously his decision has an influence on what Gute decides to do or to be more accurate on what he has already decided to do in each scenario.  All we have said is whatever direction Rodgers choice takes us in has already been decided by Gute and to this point none of the moves needed to take us in that direction have been eliminated.  If Rodgers decides to come back every move that Gute has decided he will make if that happened can still be made.  If Rodgers decides he wants to be traded every move that Gute has decided he will make if that happened can still be made.   Since you like analogies so much I have one for you.  Two months ago I was told I am up for a promotion at work.  I decided that if I get it I will buy a new car and if I don't get it I will buy a new bike.  I could have been told A month ago and I would have my new car or my new bike.  I could be told a month from now and I will have my new car or my new bike.  In the meantime I am getting by with my old car and my old bike.  Sure, it would have been nice to have a new car or a new bike a month ago but there is absolutely nothing I have lost, other than time, by not having the decision a month ago.  When I get the decision I already know what I will do in each case.    I know how much money I will have to spend if I get the promotion and I know how how much I will have to spend if I don't. I even have the car and the bike picked out.  I know exactly what it will cost because I did all that negotiation while I was waiting for the decision to be made.  If I find out in 2 months that I got the promotion it won't be like "I wish you would have told me sooner now I can't buy a new car because I had to wait for you to let me know if I got it or not"  No, I can still buy the new car.</blockquote>
