Even if he was offered the KC job? I get the Luck factor but the cleaner logic says that he left because a GM was here and he was never offered the job. [Reply]

The way they put it on 610 is, Reid is ready to sell out his own wife for a SB. So if you go with that, if he thought for any reason that Dorsey was prohibiting progress then he would run right over him. [Reply]

Damn Reid giving no fucks. Makes sense on why we took Mahomes than [Reply]

And at that point in time, Dorsey may not have shown his cards. Dorsey might have thought if he waited for Ballard to leave then tried to threaten Clark with "I still might go to elsewhere" or otherwise wouldn't commit long term thinking it would land him a bigger deal, well, how'd that work out?

So this year we should expect Reid to hire a man to do clock management for him. If Reid is all in on a SB and has an ounce of self-evaluation in him, he will find someone to help him with game management. And he might think about letting someone else call plays.
Whether Reid is capable of admitting these things to himself or others seems doubtful. [Reply]

IF that's the case then yeah, Dorsey sucks and Clark gambled wrong that Dorsey would stay. However we can't really have it both ways here. If Dorsey was Reid's bitch than Clark should have made room for Ballard and parted with Dorsey. If Ballard was worth letting go for Dorsey, than Dorsey is worth more than 610 is saying.
Can't really say Dorsey isn't good yet we tried keeping him over Ballard. [Reply]

We actually did pretty good at play calling last year [Reply]

You're still missing a possible scenario. If Reid said to keep Dorsey then Ballard was going to be allowed to walk. Personally I see it like this...
A) Dorsey was Reid's bitch
+
B) Reid was semi-content with Dorsey at the time Ballard left so Clark keeps him
+
C) Reid got pissed about the Maclin deal, especially after the JC deal
+
D) Dorsey thought he had the team over the barrel with Ballard being gone
=
Reid\Clark said, "hit the road, Jack" or John on this case [Reply]

Derrrick Thomas, Will Shields, Tony Gonzales, Jared Allen.
Which future Hall of Famers have Pioli (in KC) and Dorsey, draft? [Reply]
