You guys are fooling yourselves if you don't think that Reid isn't the one calling the shots here. You think Dorsey walked into Reid's office and told him that he's trading two 2nd round picks for Smith? You really think a guy who cherishes all of his draft picks and is all about building in the draft is trading two 2's for Smith?
That call was all Andy Reid. And it has handcuffed us for two drafts.
Again, I don't care what the org chart says. Andy Reid runs this show. He picked the GM. He's also running the offense on this team, so no way he doesn't pick Bowe over Albert, or pick Fisher over Joekel as all of the draft projections had Fisher being the more athletic and mobile tackle that Andy Reid likes.
The difference between Pioli and Dorsey is that Pioli was calling all the shots. This here is Reid's show. On paper, they both answer directly to Clark. But in reality, you become one of the highest paid coaches in sports, you get to hire your buddy to come be the GM, you are the one with the juice...
