That's not what I read him saying. Perhaps I'm wrong.

I pulled that he was saying players that don't fit the three year plan should be looked at further, assuming Ballard doesn't think he has a championship level team.

I didn't read him suggest throwing out the baby with the bathwater was the better plan.

What he said was that on cutdown day, a GM should look at his roster and decide if the talent level is such that his team can win the Super Bowl, even after sustaining a rash of injuries.

I was using cut-down day as an example as opposed to how some fans think it needs to be done today. It could be the trade deadline. My point was it was not something to be done today.
