Jerry was co captain of an NCAA D1 NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP FOOTBAL TEAM, and you think you and I have the same credentials as that? Give me a break. I think anyone with a good mind can learn to be a GM. What exactly did Lynch do that made hi so qualified to be a GM? Did he have front office experience?
So that explains his complete inadequacy!!!!

Jerry isn't always right, nor is he an unquestionably popular leader. In this case though, I think he's making a worthwhile point, imho.

I like this trade. But Jerry's record of doing things on his own is not good. Galloway and Roy WIlliams trades were all on him.

Did he also credit himself for overpaying. No one was close to giving up a 4th for Lance.
If they offered what everyone else offered they wouldn't have gotten him. 49ers would have moved him to an AFC team. Cowboys also did not have a 5th or 6th round pick because of prior trades. They will get comp picks that haven't been awarded yet.

It's such an advantage that it's led to a level of futility that only Detroit and Washington have known the last two and half decades.
Jerry is only concerned about being relevant. Top 10 in wins over the last 20 years and top 12 over the last 25. 9.2 billion in value to show for it.

Why would he worry about more? He does not care about the fans. It is just an investment to him.

That is pure bs.

Bad according to who. Some whining internet fans?
Yeah, ok, we will go with that over people that are actually in football.
Are you saying that people employed by the nfl are inherently smarter than those who are not ?? :huh:

Buffalo wanted him.
yes and i read 1 other team was, but not for a 4th round pick, and not as a potential or definite future starting qb.
I think the other 2 were looking at him as a possible good #2.

Jerry decided in seconds he was a potential or definite franchise qb.
Since jerry is so much smarter than other GM's he knew he could "fix" lance because he was a round 1 pick.

The last pick in the 4th round isn't much. They wanted to get a young qb after not drafting one this year.

If the fans on here ran the team, we would pick in the top 5 every year. And never retain a top pick. Because they would trade them away for other picks instead of wanting to pay a 2nd contract.
You know, being cheap, something they whine about Jerry for not playing top dollars to other FA's,c saying he wants to save the money. Or using all the salary cap to improve the team. Sounds hypocritical there doesn't it.

Under the FO now, at least they can make the playoffs and have a chance at a Lombardi. With some of the fans running the team...top 5 pick every year...
that is all speculation, made from zero data lol. you cant possibly know what would happen If a fan became GM and another one HC.
Making the playoffs is good,but the true measure of a team is how they fare in the playoffs.

Express an opinion, and get called a whining internet fan. Only in this group :thumbdown:
Truth hurts?
I called no one a whiner in specific, just a bunch of fans as that is what they a
ways do.

Then you chime in whining saying someone is whining about be truthful.

Why? That's called pride.
