[QUOTE="Scotland Yard, post: 808885, member: 5934"] Disagree. The Brewers GM David Stearns is in complete control of which players are available. In meaningless end-of-season games he brings in guys and they play ahead of veterans in many cases. Doing that two years ago did not stop the Brewers from improving...this year they were within one game of the World Series. Philbin has no interest in the 2019 season, knowing he is likely coaching somewhere else. His only motivation is to win these two games to improve his resume. Why should Philbin care if Rodgers gets an ACL vs. the Jets? What does Philbin care about the 2019 Packers' roster? Gute should have the same power as Brewers GM Stearns. Gute does have the Packers' best interests at heart for 2019 and beyond, Philbin does not. As such, Gute should have authority over Philbin to say Rodgers goes to IR, or, only plays two quarters each game, whatever he wants. It is Gute who will have to deal with any repercussions from these last two games, not Philbin. Gute has a rare opportunity to see Kizer and/or Boyle in live action (also Spriggs, Tonyan, etc.), much more real than preseason, and that can provide him valuable information affecting the draft, future trades, etc. Why waste that opportunity padding Philbin's resume?
