I can remember the week before the playoff game against Steelers the Dorsey to GB was firing on all cylinders and a fan thinking this is the last thing we need to worry about right before a home playoff game. I know it had no effect on the outcome but from a PR standpoint it certainly didn't look good given the timing.
If you are trying to marry your girlfriend and you hear rumblings she wants to eventually get back with her ex, you probably say screw this im out to save face. I think hunt wanted to gamble on Dorsey given his history so let Ballard go and when negotiations came about the ex came back into the picture (GB). Hunt isn't an idiot he knows what he had with Dorsey so I can't imagine what put him over the edge besides purely emtions. GMs make bad deals (Osweiler) but if their intention is in the right place the owner buys in. To say let's start over tells me there was a wolf somewhere and as we saw, many decided to leave through lateral moves or even demotions. I support Clarks call on this despite all the facts, I just wish we knew what he did.
