Duffy could be joining this team about a week from now

As GM?

Wrong thread my bad but Danny Duffy as gm hmm couldn't be any worse than Pioli

Which is why if Clark was souring on Dorsey, he should have pulled the trigger then.

"As one source explained it, “It wasn’t dysfunction so much as it was decisions were being made that seemed to come out of nowhere. So that existed, but the people here weren’t aware that ownership was aware of it. … You look back now, how it worked out, and ownership was more aware that it didn’t need to be run that way.”

So, Dorsey was a poor communicator and whiffed on a 5th round QB. That's pretty thin justification from CHunt.

GM Ballard will be our QB Marino.

If only...because Chiefs.

Dysfunctional? Clark? Heh.
On a side note, 25,000 posts.

As usual you are clueless.

Since Ballard left and Dorsey's so called ineptitude/gut instinct kicked in what has happened?

- Signed Logan to replace Poe. (most people on this board approved the signing and thought it was an overall gain).
- Extended Berry. (most people wanted Berry extended considering the role he plays in the Defense. Plus, Berry basically won two games for the team last year. There is some criticism he didn't get the deal done the year before, but IMO, it was a very peculiar situation with a player returning from cancer, etc.)
- Extended LDT. (Mixed views on this extension. Only time will tell if it was good or bad).
- Drafted a QB in the first round for the first time since Blackledge. (Overwhelming fan approval).
- Had a solid draft on paper - typical Dorsey low floor high ceiling DL, a good RB, etc.
- Released Maclin . (Probably the right move considering his inability to stay healthy, but handled poorly in terms of PR).

Sorry, but the off-season positives far outweigh the negatives.

They are many head scratchers. Contracts and draft picks getting cut and other things.

I sure hope not. Ballard crushed it this offseason. Outstanding deals in FA and a good draft.

Per Albert Breer on 610: Fitterer and Cowden are known as "extremely detail oriented and organized".

Well that says a lot. Interesting that Howie Roseman was essentially a Brett a Veach in philly when he got moved up. Veach would have plenty of time to learn the job throughout the season.

You are missing the part where Clark had to step in and get Berry's contract done because Dorsey couldn't or wouldn't.

And the Maclin move is bad no matter how you want to look at it. Not because he is critical but because we paid $24MM to him on a 2 year contract basically and are eating dead $ because of it.

The Berry situation was a no win situation for a GM. If he signed Berry immediately on his return without seeking some type of pay back guaranty in the event his cancer comes back, or he was not able to play, everyone would have crucified Dorsey.

Did you want Maclin? Were you happy when he was signed? Did he seem like an excellent fit his first year?

If there is one thing this team needs, it's a better strength and conditioning coach.

Cowden should take care of the "hire Cowher, hire Gruden" portion of the fanbase.
