Will we get the best GM and HC if Mara insists that Eli has to play? The next dude(s) will have zero allegiance to Eli yet will absolutely be measured by the results if Eli is festooned upon them. 

As a result, if Mara stubbornly insists that Eli is part of our immediate future, are we destined for more misery until the next dude(s) also fail?

Are we going to get the great GM who takes that kind of direction from ownership? Do we get a coach that is smart enough and willing to get a Wade Phillips type assistant? 

What great talent is going to be bound to a 37-38 year old quarterback with one winning season in his prior six?

I say no. We are screwed if Mara makes the future about Eli.
