So I’d agree with you. Right now. However if Sutter can get Sam’s role and mental game on track, and he’s willing to put his ego aside, that could (and hopefully will) change. If he puts Bennett in the same role as Hathaway and he embraces it, he’ll be more effective than Hathaway. I’m not holding my breath though because his IQ is just rock bottom, and my guess is that his mental state is in shambles. It’s a long way back.
