Murphy needs to retire this week. Plenty of precedent for such an event part way through a season which is slipping away. Has been ravaged by injuries and sickening knocks over the years from bigger players whose sole intent was to hurt him.
It's sad but it's time. Replacing him with a youngster who admittedly may not be ready means we'll get a dozen games into some kid who'll then be ready to step up next year instead of 2021. Despite what many think, he was Captain Courageous early in his tenure. The Club won't drop him. The Club has no idea. Sorry Marc, it's the right thing to do.
