Actually, that's good.
B/c Torts has been clear about the need to rebuild and add top talent, that they're not good enough to compete with the top teams.
He's got about all you could hope to get out of the current players.
And since Torts gives honest answers, you know when Fletcher tries to soft pedal any talk of rebuilding by saying they're just a couple players away, Torts will call out his bullshit when asked if the team is a player or two away.
So the more the team makes Torts the face of the franchise, the harder it will be to disguise the obvious.
And if the fan base sides with Torts, Fletcher will soon be history.
I mean would you rather than Torts/Briere or Fletcher/Clarke/Lombardi controlling the future of this team?
