I'm not saying Hunt was right to fire him right now but the timing makes me think it was Andy or Dorsey and he made the right choice keeping Andy. Veach will get the job and the team will be fine.

You're one of those who seems to have turned on Dorsey.
I thought and absolutely still think he was one of the very best GM in the league.
I don't see how he was bad with contracts. When you have been one of the most talented teams in the league for a few years, you're going to have to pay big money to some of your players.
The Maclin contract could only be said to be bad because of his injury history. Otherwise, the Chiefs absolutely needed a top WR like he was. We either had to get him or Cobb, who was resigned by GB if I remember well.
And how does it make sense to say that he was bad with contracts and that hindered the team improvement when we arguably have the top 53 roster in the league and certainly one of the best?
Dorsey looked like he built a great roster and would keep it this way for years because he is so good at drafting and finding great players off the street.
Veach might be good but make no mistake, Dorsey did a fantastic job here in KC and is a top GM.
