I agree to that only to the extent if you have an employee who is not very good at anything, than you hag on the other details. Now is you have someone who is exceptional at a key thing that is hard to find, you find other ways to take care of the other details and retain the talent. Now if he really was not as good as many of us think on acquiring talent then that changes things. But if true, management is about assembling and managing talent that puts you in the best position for success. Nobody would question a acquiring talent is among the top 3. If you have a need for the contracts and cap management reassign or go outside the organization. Not that hard IMO.

Yeah, but the truth could be that Hunt is taking the heat for Reid, who may have actually been the driving force. Who knows, but the explanations we've been given make no sense.

I heard he was a close talker who double dipped his chips.

You can come up with nitpicks about Dorsey. But I have yet to hear anything that is a reasonable justification for firing the most successful GM in the NFL in the past 4 years.

As poor as Peter King is at predictions, he's the most dialed in guy in the NFL, so I'm sure he's getting some kind of scoop. Unfortunately, he's on break for 3 weeks but hopefully, he'll have some info soon. |

If there is one thing any owner hates, it's paying for people that aren't on the payroll. I don't think that should have ended his career here but it makes sense. |

This all day. My confidence in Clark Hunt has been really shaken by this. Dorsey is the best GM I've ever seen the Chiefs have, even with a few warts surrounding the cap and free agents. I want a GM who hits in the draft all the time. That's Dorsey. Gonna be a tough act to follow.

I think Chunt's hair-helmet was on a little too tight...does Goldman-Sachs issue those for all their robots?

Clark Hunt hired the best GM candidate in 2009 but it didn't work out. He hired the best available coach and hired a highly regarded personnel man in Dorsey in 2013. That trajectory isn't over. Shut the **** up. |

There is playing nice with others is a desirable trait in a leader. But there is no substitute for talent. Whatever Dorsey lacked in communication skills he made up for in talent evaluation.
