Tell me how what Scott Pioli is doing now in Kansas City is so much different from what he did as Director of Player Personnel in New England.
You can ask Todd Haley what exactly it was that he does differently. He turned that organization on its ear. He put his stamp on it. He changed everything, from how they evaluated talent to the coffee they drank every single day. It's his team. Make no mistake about that.
Jerry Jones has been here since 1989. His way rules now as it has been since he bought the team. Nobody is changing anything. All we have had since Johnson left is a transient series of bodies, all operating under his rules.
Not every NFL GM or what have you operates like Jerry Jones does. I know you think we are no different with this ineffectual GM that does nothing but you are completely and utterly wrong.
You also seem to take pride is this thread where you try to "educate" people. Get over yourself.
It is no secret that Jones listens to who has his ear the most.
It is also no secret that his track record looks better when he has a real football mind bending that same ear.
There is a reason his drafts with Jimmy Johnson and Bill Parcells look better than those with Larry Lacewell or even Ciskowski for that matter.
He can't do it by himself because, well, he can't judge talent independently.
He interjects himself here and there when he takes a shine to a player but in the draft, he "listens". Not that it matters much because if he gets bad advice, we get a bad pick.
That is a lot different from how Steve Bisciotti does it with Newsome and how Kraft did it with Belichick and Pioli.
But just because he is inept at evaluating talent, don't try to insult everyone else's intelligence by implying that the other 31 GMs in the league do the exact same thing because they don't.
He is completely unique and therefore deserves to be judged accordingly.
