It's that a usually quite, soft spoken, yet high character player is starting to lose faith in where this team is heading. It's very telling, in my opinion... We are heading down a familiar dark road to incompetence.

Do you think Dalton and AJ are in on the plan, or at least given some sort of hint? I would sincerely hope they have some sort of idea what the overall strategy is, here. Doesn't seem like good business when the most important people in your organization are wondering what the hell is going on.
Anyways, I will say if a guy who has spent his entire career here just shrugs and says "Meh, it's not my job to know what is going on here" that might look pretty bad, too.
Let me try to say the same thing again. To know the overall plan of this team is not Dunlap's role; just as it is not Mike Brown's role to sack the QB. Dunlap is a 28 year old football player.
We don't even know whether or not he's been "left in the dark"; as I would assume he is aware of the moves the team is making.
Just because folks are mad at the team doesn't mean when a player speaks out, in this manner he is right. he is not.
Now if he had said "I'm unhappy with our loses in FA and it does seem we put a priority on winning" then that is an opinion.
