So, **** Clark, basically.
This isn't about fucking money!! Clark has hired Pioli to a large contract and now just gave Reid a 5 year extension. This is never about money. It's about Dorsey's inability to mange the cap and contracts. [Reply]

I know you are not a Dorsey fan given all that you have posted and I agree that aspects of his job were not good. However, the #1 job of a GM is to get the groceries. Dorsey's player acquisitions, as evidenced by our roster, is proof that we was very good at the most important thing. The other aspects of the job (contract negotiations (remember Denny Thum), and PR) could have been handled by reassignment or other means. Bottom line is if you are acquiring talent fairly regularly, you have to keep a guy like that around. [Reply]

His drafts aren't exactly the greatest either. The talent on this roster is overrated. Mostly it's an outstanding job by Andy Reid coaching them up. [Reply]

Dorsey, on the other hand, had become a bit ruthless and purely focused on what's best for the team.
That's a tough line to walk, but as a fan, the Dorsey approach was nice.

A director of player personnel and scouts are the ones who identify talent. Dorsey's job is to sign them to contracts and look for free agents. Yes he makes the decisions but his scouts are the ones that identify the talent [Reply]

So NFL insiders who have quoted NFL personnel saying this are either providing fake news or the NFL personnel guys do not know what they are talking about? If you have a keener eye for talent than NFL personnel guys may I suggest you send in your application. [Reply]
