Back to Quin. I have a hard time believing a turned-over FO (at least in terms of who holds power) can look at the Quin situation and be serious about saying he’s 100% the guy. Unless they’ve completely got their heads up their asses (I won’t entirely rule that out, though). I really see two options of why they keep pumping out that they love him and want him back:
1. They know he’s leaving, and this allows them being able to avoid the interpersonal awkwardness of unnecessarily having to state (or defend their position on) his deficiencies.
2. They believe that keeping Quin is keeping Donovan happy.
Or I guess the third position of they really like him.
These are the only real possibilities I see. There’s only one correct answer here. Any of the others is a massive FO failure but not entirely unprecedented as we pretended for two off seasons that we didn’t need to do anything about perimeter defense. This would be a failure on that level, if not much larger because of even more data points.
