I dont trust him and will never do. He is a gambler and has no clue.

But right now he has the right people around him who are able to make good decissions and he lets them do.

I trust those people.

I think that's it.

Brian, I am offering this bit of advice as someone who has a lot more experience in the world around us than you do. Please take it as nothing more than that, advice.

Your penchant for making rash statements comes across just like reporters who get an idea, post a tweet or article hoping to be hailed as right, and then defend it despite backlash only to abandon the subject when proven wrong.

This is what you have done in the past with regards to Miles Austin, Dez Bryant, professional wrestling, and I am sure I am forgetting some things. Yes, I do still know that you think Miles Austin could have been great. It was the amount of greatness you heaped upon him that made you wrong in the first place.

This proclamation by you really isn't much different. You're going to get battered for it. You're likely to stand your ground stubbornly because of that. You'll hope to be proven right, and if proven wrong, you'll handily forget this. Just like you have previous topics mentioned.

You don't have the experience necessary to defend rash statements. Because of that, you lose a lot of respect that might be given to you based on your passion and youth. Thus you lose twice as much as you should.

We all make rash statements from time to time. I'm not putting you on an island by yourself. The difference is you've already created a persona that is hard to overcome without more life experience than you have.

I appreciate it, Hostile, though I feel as though I did clarify to mean that Jerry has been a great executive, and our recent off-season success has not been due solely to him. Not likely I would've ceded that logical point and clarified when I was younger. I still stand by my statements in regards to wrestling, and my disdain for the product they were/have been cultivating has led to me not consuming any of it from any company at all presently, which I wish wasn't the case. I continue to try and approach posting from a mature perspective, and hope in time I continue to grow in that regard.

This morning I realized just how great his decisions have been since 2010ish as a GM. Really, he has made very few mistakes relative to the AVG GM. On draft day we have been a top 3 team in the league.

In Jerry we trust.

meh...probably because he isn't really the GM any more. Do NOT trust him

You did, the problem is the perception already created. You're a good young man. Never doubt that.

Thanks, Hostile. It means a lot coming from you. Hope everything has been going well by you so far in 2015.

My trust in management is at an all-time high. As to how much of our success should be credited to Jerry, I can't say.

If you had just added "and his staff" after every instance of Jerry in your OP all would be well my friend. I think Stephen has had more influency on what has transpired in recent years than anyone officially knows.
