General Managers In the NFL

[BigDFan5]

Well why don't you go analyze a few more and then say 'pretty please', and then I'll think about it.

I'm waiting, snap to it.

Still being a coward I see. I would say it was pathetic, bit its more like par for the course with you

I would take Jerry as our GM at this point over the other candidates for one reason above all others. He actually has something on the line personally. The other candidates except for Mike Brown, it is really just a job.

Snyder and others have a lot of personal investment in the team. I think the difference between guys like Jerry, Snyder, Kraft and guys like Brown, Bidwell, Wilson, etc. is that the Jerry/Snyder/Kraft types are very aggressive with their teams. Each side wants to make money and won't put up with losing money for long, but the Jerry/Snyder/Kraft types are aggressive marketers of their product along with being aggressive with putting the best team forth because they know that good team usually equates to more sales. The Brown/Bidwell/Wilson types want to make money above and beyond anything. And with the way the the NFL is set up, it allows the Brown/Bidwell/Wilson types to make a lot of money despite fielding lousy teams. These types are very passive because they fear that if they spend money to put the best roster they can together, they could not succeed on the field and actually lose money compared to if they sucked and their games were blacked out.

A lot of people associate the system with the salary cap and call it a socialist type of economy. But in reality the salary cap has nothing to do with it as shown by the teams that are well, well under the cap and the teams that are just under the cap. Fans often forget that the teams in the NFL are more or less wholly owned subsidiaries of the NFL and that the salary cap is more or less a budget the NFL allows on payroll, which is hardly socialist. Where the NFL is socialist in nature is in the revenue sharing which allow teams that can't sell and blackout to still make great revenue and provides little motivation for them to be aggressive in the marketing or roster moves. This is one of the reasons why I appreciate Jerry. It's sort of ridiculous to claim that Dallas has a "big market" when there are several teams that have far more population than Dallas does. This includes Houston. Yet, Jerry has been such an aggressive marketer of the team and aggressive in roster building because he wants his organization to be the best team possible.

I think it's obvious that Jerry has learned over the past few years as he holds tight to draft picks. I really believe that 10 years ago Jerry would have traded up in the top 5 to get McFadden and not even blink twice. I believe that 10 years ago that Jerry would've given up draft picks for Tank Johnson. I believe that he'd be more than happy to give up a 3rd and a 4th for Pacman a decade ago. And I would've counted on Dallas at least drafting a troubled player or two in the draft. Instead the opposite has just about happened and the Cowboys are better for it.

I'm still waiting to see the analysis of Jerry's drafts from 94-01. I asked you over 24 hours ago and still nothing. Apparently you're just a coward or something, but I expect that from you.

Anyway, we can drag this out several more pages and move on, it's up to you.

So you are expecting me to answer something you asked after you dodged me? I dont think so. Man up and answer the questions

Dang. This is almost as good as a Theogt vs. Fuzzy Sacamano fight.

True.

I've already jumped through your hoops and listed names and explained why. But you still won't answer a question I asked over 24 hours ago. I don't blame you, there's really no positive way you can spin those drafts from 94-01.

Ummm no you listed names, I made a rebuttle on those names and asked for specifics on a few, you danced and dodged around it. Including trying to change the subject by asking me a question. The posts are there for everyone to see. Answer the simple question and then we can continue the debate. Until you answer you are showing what your purpose on this board truly is.

Still waiting for that analysis you said you'd give. I was going to let it slide, but apparently you just want to keep trolling so I'll ask again. Until then, I'm done jumping through your meaningless hoops.

Oh, and your subtitle, fits you to a "t".

Again you try and change the subject. You want me to answer you (again) Answer the questions I asked first

 

[Bach]

#1 watch him disagree cause parcells told the media otherwise

#2:laugh2:

It's almost humorous how delusional some of these guys are.

The first step is always admitting it, now you're well on your way to recovery, unless you relapse.:

Speak of the delusional devil.

I figured you'd appreciate that.

You know we ain't never gonna agree on this topic so I thought I'd just have alittle fun with ya! At your expense of course!

 

[Bach]

ummm yeah, I did.

I am done cluttering the forum with this though.

Why start now. That's basically what most of your posts on here do.

[You can go on saying things without backing them up its fine with me

You can do the same.
