All of that would make complete sense to me. Not sure how I feel about it but yeah... it makes sense.

"Clark was not happy at all about how the Eric Berry situation ...This was due to the insurance fiasco"
Absolute no win situation for any GM.

RunKC's post is the most logistical thing I've read. I won't accept the move as good until proven so, but I can understand it a bit more.

Shows Dorsey was over his head as a GM. Which was kind of obvious when it came to free agency, trades, and contract extensions. Contracts and PR are huge parts of the job. His best position would be as a Personal Director.

I could be wrong--but to me it seems like Clark is big on having the right image, treating players well and being 'professional'...
Dorsey, on the other hand, had become a bit ruthless and purely focused on what's best for the team. That's a tough line to walk, but as a fan, the Dorsey approach was nice. |

So Clark is the one who saved Berry. Clark is the real MVP here! No one here should be mad at Clark

If that is true, then I think Clark is overvaluing the business side of being a GM and undervaluing the talent recognition side. So what if Dorsey offends the players a little when negotiating contracts. If Clark had to intervene to get the sides talking then fine. Maybe that's what he needs to be prepared to do going forward for negotiating major star contracts? Clark can help Dorsey out in that department, but he's not going to be of much use finding the next Kelce, Peters, Hill or Jones. Now, none of us know who is truly responsible for advocating for those players. Maybe those people are still with the team and we will be fine?
It just makes seems like a juvenile reason to let someone go over personality and mgmt style when they are producing a high quality product on the field. Do people love the Pats because Belichik is a nice guy and people think highly of the franchise? No, it's because they win championships. They win championships because they have Brady and can find talent in the draft and in strategic cheap free agents. I thought we were well on our way to replicating that model if Mahomes pans out, but now I have no idea. We will find out is Dorsey or Ballard were the keys to our draft and fa hits or if that person/people are still around. |

It sounds like it WAS about money if RunKC is correct, and Maclin, plus Dorsey asking for the moon, was the last straw.
So, **** Clark, basically. |

I have reached out to my fellow graduates to find out who Dorsey sees in KC. No solid answer yet. This is crucial.
