I’ve been trying to do my own detective work on why Ricky retired so here we go.
1) It boils down to have crappy a coach Wannstedt is. Ricky was there for every QB school, every meeting, and every mini-camp. That sounds like a guy who’s pretty dedicated to me!
2) Chris Forester: Why would Wannstedt choose this guy, with no prior OC experience, over two other guys who have held the position before??? My guess is that he knew he could control this guy, he knew that he wouldn’t question or ask why or nothing of that sort if Forester called a certain play, and wanny said, "No, lets go conservative " . Where as two "New"guys who haven’t been around Wannstedt would question him, saying things like, "Why? if we throw deep to chambers, we nail it!, c’om on Wannstedt , i know what im doing! " Wannstedt, imo didnt want to be challenged.
-Ricky knew this, he say it with his own eyes. I remember reading an article saying that he didn’t agree with forester getting the job. Remember? He said he’d be at practice and Forester would look lost, and Ricky didn’t want to be part of an offense that is in Chaos!
3) Ricky said, "Im done playing football" "But i wouldn’t mind playin for the Raiders!!"
The Raiders, led by Norv Turner, his former OC, Norv who lets his players play. Norv who throws the ball deep, norv who knows EXACTLY what he’s doing, and doesn’t have someone in his ears saying "No, no, don’t call that play, no deep passes, just give it ricky all the time, and throw only short passes"
Well guys, these are all theories, but if you think about, fit all these pieces together, Wannstedt made Ricky retire! Sure there was the whole weed thing, but another thing about that, he’s beaten the drug test before, and i think he failed on purpose so there would be an excuse for his retirement.
Its all wanny’s fault! Ruined the bears, now the phins!
