We'd have a lot better chance to win that race if it was Andy Reid going to the Panthers instead of Dorsey.

Because, Chiefs

Where's SR to tell us "we'll be fine"?

This is probably the best time to fire the GM.

There's a 90 man roster ready for TC, the draft is over and most coaches have Final Say over the 53.

A new GM's biggest job is preparing for the Draft and Free Agency, making June or July much more advantageous than January or February.

I won't be surprised to see this trend continue.

Reading way too much into it.

I said this on 6.26 about the timing of firing your GM:

There is never a correct time to replace a full year position, but if it had to be done, then you do it as soon as the need is identified.

I think it would be much worse to have a person scouting your team's specific needs for the rest of the season, dropping him, then asking someone to draft for you based on the evals they put in on another team.

Why is that?

[The Franchise]

They were talking about this on SiriusXM and it was brought up that this firing could have been because of how tough he is on veteran contracts when it comes time to re-sign players. I guess Thomas Davis is going to need a new contract and Greg Olsen is threatening to hold out on his deal as well. The Owner knew how Gettelmen let Steve Smith walk and how he handled the Josh Norman situation.

Jerry Richardson has done pretty well financially, and it's not like he started with 40 million dollars like some people.

He parlayed 2 years of income from the NFL at the rookie minimum in the freaking 50's into 1.1 billion dollars.

I think he might know something about business.

Not as much as you obviously, but something.

If Richardson had wanted John Dorsey (which as I've stated earlier, doesn't make sense because Dorsey had the same exact issue with Clark Hunt as Richardson has with Gettlemen), Richardson would have hired Dorsey, then fired Gettlemen.

Dorsey isn't under contract and there's no salary cap on front offices or coaching staffs.

This clearly isn't about John Dorsey. It's about Gettlemen's decision making and franchise embarrassments (like unceremoniously cutting Steve Smith, Sr.).

Patriots let guys walk like Ty Law even after winning Super Bowls.

If RunKC was given $5MM tomorrow he would turn it into $5,000 in 2 years but he knows more about business than all these dumbass owners.

You shut the hell up, the business moguls who know anything about anything come right here to CP to check our opinion of whether or not they know what's really going on.

[The Bad Guy]

I think Ballard's departure here and Beane's departure in Carolina really put a microscope on Dorsey and Gettlemen. From a lot of writer accounts, they covered up the shortcomings of their bosses.

If I were to draw pictures explaining my post, the odds are you would still not comprehend the point of what was said.

jesus dude. Do you even comprehend?
