You are correct BUT remember that Ed Reed and Troy P had been roasting teams for several years prior and any team would give a top five pick for either one of those guys and who Berry was being compared to. Just saying.

78m in dead money in 4 years Media leaked rumors of JD wanting to go to GB as GM Been working on extension for months Firing Maclin via VM Lots of bad contracts Andy/Clark hired Dorsey, now they need to find the next Dorsey. Until the new guy is announced, I'm gonna reserve judgement. The last 2 GMs Clark hired were considered the best available applicant available. |

What I find endlessly fascinating about this place is how quickly about 85% of the posters will turn on someone once they are no longer part of the tribe.

I hate the fact that Clark fired John. I'm not sure you mean me, I often get misunderstood as I point out both sides of an argument.

So are you saying JD wanted to leak this to the press as to put pressure on Clark to get a deal done much sooner then, regardless of Dorsey's dream job desire in GB?

If everything Run posted is true (and I have no doubt that it's false), the relationship between Clark Hunt and John Dorsey was toxic. As much as I imagine I'll miss Dorsey, a toxic relationship can only negatively affect a team's chance at a Super Bowl run. |

Damn shame we couldn't keep Ballard but seems like the meat and potatoes of the problem happened after he was long gone.

If I had not much love for Clark before this, I sure as **** have even less now. And we can now put this "Clark hires and stands out of the way"-horse shit to rest, yep.

Dorsey had been excellent at identifying college players that fit Reid's system but he was less than average in identifying pro free agents and signing them to contract commensurate with their abilities. It also doesn't sound like Dorsey is much of a "People Person", which might be okay if you're Bill Belichick or Bill Parcells, but not okay when you're a GM of a team that hasn't won anything of significance since 1969. |

You all make valid points. To me, it's frustrating to have pointed out his issues with managing the cap for several years only to get brushed aside, then to have people use his issues with cap management as a justifiable reason for his removal when such issues were apparently fine a few weeks ago.
