It is obvious now that Jerry is in total control and has absolutely nobody with any influence over his decision making. It is all downhill from here. We have seen one bone-headed move after the other the last few months. First, he lost Parcells, and then Ireland, as well as a couple of Ireland's guys. The smart guys are gone. Jerry made two moves the last couple of days that are true indicators of a downward spiral:
First, signing Adams to a six-year deal is much more of a Snyder-Commanders move than a Patriots or Giants move. Great organizations know when to say goodbye to aging players. They don't get stuck with huge contracts on players who no longer "have it." This happened to us in the late 90's when Jerry was large and in charge, and its happening again.
Second, trading Ferguson for a sixth round choice (plus a swap of 6th rounders) indicates that either Parcells has pictures of Jerry and Larry Lacewell in a compromising posture, or Jerry is just a goof ball. Either scenario is bad. When is the lovefest with Miami going to end? Surely there is something else they want. Marion Barber, maybe?
I don't know if I can watch. We are no longer a team on the rise. Jerry is in total control, and history tells us that means we're in for a bumpy, debilitating ride.
