Great job Clark on letting Ballard walk before firing Dorsey because he challenged your outsized ego. You let plan B walk, got emotional and fired plan A and now you’ve been caught holding the bag with Plan C. Great ****ing job jackass.
BECAUSE REID IS THE DE FACTO GM!
How do you not realize that!?
Earl Thomas basically said as much - REID is the one he spoke with about the contract, REID is who he agreed to sign with, and REID is who he called to tell that Baltimore swooped in and offered a better contract.
Veach is just Reid's yes-man. Reid didn't want a Dorsey or Ballard second guessing him; he wanted Veach who will do what he says. Reid tells Veach who/what he wants, then Veach works out the money and the details.

Two playoff wins in six years, 20 years one SB appearance. If he doesn't win at least two playoff games this year CHunt should turn it over to another HC.
Mahomes, Hill, Kelce and our weapons are great enough to run a different philosophy. We need a much better OL and a more balanced team none of which Reid and Veach will provide. [Reply]
I'm sure Reid's in charge because why else would the dude that is like 35 years old be the GM instead of the 2 guys who were fully qualified to do the job well that were here? [Reply]
It's probably also time to acknowledge this, NFL history says if a coach doesn't take a team to a SB within 5 years of taking the job, it isn't gonna happen. [Reply]

Or was it maybe because he challenged Clark and Andy’s egos and they couldn’t handle it?
You can win with bad contracts if you draft well. Dorsey gave out some bad deals but he was a wizard on draft day.
Veach has given out worse contracts than Dorsey ever did and he can’t draft for shit.
We let the GM that would have won us the Super Bowl walk out the door and replaced him with a company yes man.
This is why Owners stick to ownership, coaches stick to coaching and GMs handle personnel.
