Our fan base is so locked into tradition on stuff like this. They reacted the same way when John Forney was forced out in 1982.
Flame away, but Forney needed to be sent to the house then and Eli needs to go to the house now.
We are burying my mother this weekend. She worked full time at a job that, sadly, was her reason for living until she was 75 years old, when she was forced out by her employer of more than 50 years because she was not capable of doing the job anymore and the employer had shown all the loyalty it could show to her without it adversely affecting their operation.
She spent her remaining decade or so of life pining away for that job and saying that if she could only get well, she could go back to work, not listening to her family’s admonitions that the only cure for her ailment was six feet of dirt.
It’s easy to say someone should be given the chance to go out on their own terms. Some people just can’t go out without a push. Trust me, I’ve lived it.

This is such a mature, intelligent post for this website’s standard.
Sorry for your loss.

The guys who truly deserve to go out “when they’re ready” also know when it’s time, even if they aren’t “ready,” if you know what I mean.
