      KW is known as a very loyal coach to his players, sometimes to the team’s detriment, IMO. Keeping CR playing after he was clearly injured reminded me a bit of KW keeping TT as the #1 running back when he clearly wasn’t as committed as he had been his first season. I think “resting” CR for the rest of the season so he can heal up for the combine and going with IW, even if means a few more losses this season, will pay off in the long run.

      This! It also seems he is even more loyal after the Jordan/Lowe tragedies.

        We all need to realign our priorities from time to time whether it’s faith, family / work goals, etc. The worst thing though is to realize that priorities have changed but you stick with what you’ve got because that is easier than changing to meet your new reality.

        Take that from someone who has spent close to 30 years in construction management. It was the path of least resistance at the time, I have made a lot of money and I’ve never been challenged to the point that I could achieve anything truly worthwhile. Comfortable works for most of us. Sports abhors comfort. To truly be great, you need to be constantly challenged to the point where the success/failure dividing line is razor thin. Because you can only achieve greatness when absolute failure is just as likely.

          “It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat (Theodore Roosevelt 1910).”
