19 crew chief takes indefinite leave

First Edwards now Rogers... wonder if maybe life ain't all that grand at JGR as everyone thinks it is

Heh, heh, heh.....

Someone fixed the car/crew thing but left “indefenite” alone.
 
About three months ago I was hacked for the 19 team's upcoming season. Had a great car at Kansas, won Texas, and barely missed a title. Then Carl retired, the team's been running pretty poorly, and now Rogers is leaving. WTF

Carl did say he and Dave were like brothers. Possible reunion? I hope so..
 
Is Suarez a diva? I haven't heard anything about his temperament.

How is the 19 running poorly? Suarez is a rookie.

He's 19th in points, only 7 points behind the 7-time champ.

Yeah I don't consider that bad. Has had some bad luck and doesn't get stage points but a couple top 10's isn't bad 5 races in. I don't know what the expectation is. I think being in the Chase with or without a win is reasonable.

Fate is trying really hard to screw Daniel's career. In the seat too soon, and now his CC leaves. Couple this with the Carl thing, and JD's struggles, and Coach has his hands really full. Very concerning.
 
Did not see this one coming.

Reunion with a Dodge
 
First I very seriously hope everything is ok or turns out alright.

But this is a very HUGE coincidence that Carl Edwards leaves indefinitely for "personal" reasons and now his former crew chief is doing the same. I have long thought and said this could have been a political move within the organization to get Suarez into cup and Rogers either couldn't take it anymore or was pushed out to re unite Suarez with his championship crew chief. This whole thing is SERIOUSLY sketchy. Strange things are afoot at JGR.

Rogers probably doesn't want to learn Spanglish.

LOL

I was thinking the same thing. It's hard enough trying to understand what the others say on the radio.

Maybe these guys can do what the folks at F1 do. They speak their native language sometimes. Some anyhow.

I agree 100% with this post. No 1000%. Additionally, I am very concerned that this season could unravel for this team. FRR is already outperforming JGR. The equipment is good.

I don't want to stir up a hornets nest or commence to fighting but something has seemed a little off with JGR this year. I know Kyle was in a position to win a race but something just doesn't seem right but of course they have very high standards to live up to. For whatever reasons the cars seem a tick slow and seem to have handling issues. This is nothing I can prove and I may be 100% wrong.

Ive noticed that too. Don't get me wrong im no JGR fan, but its not quite so satisfying to see them (kyle) lose and cry about it post race if they are off every week or just slower. I would say that everyone else just put in the work over the off season to get to the performace Toyota showed last season, however the Furniture Row cars are doing fine, so something is definitely off, and this Edwards/Rogers situation is very sketchy and suspicious. It feels beyond not quite right to me.

They've had to cut more than just the fat since they discovered the viewing public does not want to watch social justice nonsense nor pay for their exorbitant MNF and NBA contracts (almost $30 billion for both).

The only time I can remember watching ESPN in the past several years has been for the odd MNF game and I usually don't even watch them as the match ups they have are not to my liking. I wonder how many cable/sat carriers will end up balking at the cost it takes to have ESPN in their lineups?
 
Watched several Monday and Thursday night games last season.

Couldn't tell anyone which network aired either of 'em to save my life.

How could FRR be head and shoulders above JGR, I thought their was a sharing of info between them?
