You know what? Cardale's in a tough spot. He wants the job, the other guy got the job. Cardale has stayed game-ready and he hasn't sulked or caused problems.

Last night after the game some reporter tried to gin up the controversy angle and Cardale shut it down promptly with a statement to the effect of "I just wanted to win this game."

Going forward: If it's JT, I'm cool. If it's Cardale, I'm cool too. Football's a team game and we couldn't do much better than Cardale as a team guy.
