Here's an interesting comment by Dave:
"We're always looking to improve our team, but it's got to be the right guy at any position," said Wannstedt, who is optimistic about Dixon's playing against the Texans. "I don't fall for that trap of `The guy is an NFL veteran. Because he did something five years ago, he can come in and be a better player than a young kid.'
"I want to see it on film. In most cases when you're very honest with yourself, eliminate reputation and just watch the film and evaluate a guy, it's amazing how there's really not much difference."
Regardless of the criticisms levied about his lack of leadership, personality, etc. I really believe Wannstedt is doing his best to win a Championship and that he and Spielman are driven by that. I, for one, appreciate his efforts and his integrity in giving honest evaluations about the team. The thing I like about this comment is that he is entirely open to either side, but is not going to just "do something" for the sake of doing something! He's going to give a situation an honest and forthright evaluation.
Others express a great deal of hatred for the man. But, while I am not opposed to replacing him if he does not bring increased success to the franchise compared to the past few years, I do respect him and appreciate his efforts.
