Hall of Fame for Parcells?

[Alexander]

i think people like to spout off about jones ignorance for their own state of mind, not that it could actually be true.

i just don't know too many totally stupid people who can make millions and oversee the building of a billion dollar stadium. how can someone who can't or won't learn accomplish so much?

befuddling.

There is a problem at hand in which people fail to distinguish between owner and general manager.

Jones is the best owner in team history and perhaps the greatest in all of organized sport.

As a general manager, where he catches the most grief, he should have fired himself long ago.

He's not a stupid man by any means.

Daniel Snyder is not a stupid man either.

It is just that they don't or won't distance themselves enough from the emotional aspect of ownership and trust those they have hired to do their jobs.

In essence, they allow themselves to look stupid by making decisions that are best delegated.

but can they learn? you assume once one way - always one way.

did you also say that jones would never hire anyone *but* a puppet? if you ever said that you were wrong. he learned.

what has he learned so far?

don't know yet. maybe nothing, sure.

maybe more than many will ever give him credit for.

in essence, people see what they need to see vs. what may actually be there far too often.

No question.

I would hope Mister Jones has learned. He's had both ends of the spectrum.

If not, he needs to get out of the GM business for the sake of the franchise.
