I think it’s the most accurate take and it also shows that Stephen is running the show primarily, as far as contracts and money. Jerry seems to have stepped away in that regard.
Yeah, I agree. The obvious difference is Stephen is not the same leader as Jerry, has zero charisma compared to his old man. He is much more conservative than Jerry. Jerry made some dumb moves for sure, but he was always willing to gamble. With Stephen, we never see that anymore, he has a strict business model that he is following come hell or high water. I used to think that the team would be better under him. At best, now all I can say is the team might be more consistent. I would like to see the coaching decisions he makes because I still feel that Jerry is the ultimate say in the coaches that run this team. Comparing our team to Al Davis and the Raiders, it was the coaching decisions that brought them back. Stephen might be game for a young outsider (I.e. Gruden) compared to Jerry, who wants familiarity and older coaches. Someone has to come and shake up the culture and personnel strategy, you can’t find a Bill Parcells everywhere.
