I totally agree with this point. This team lacks leadership and accountability. Even if Merriman was only used situationaly or pure 2nd string he is a voice that was needed.
To put it in other terms with a hockey perspective....how many times do you hear people rave about the intangibles that guys like Chris drury, mike grier, shane doan, etc... bring to a team? Its because they hold their peers to a standard and exert a follow me type of leadership. I dont see this anywhere on the bills......ugh.......
