So we go from being pissed off as hell at a guy who was nearly 26.6 million below salary cap to elated and nut sack dangling because he dropped a cool few million to get rid of a problem he helped create?

FTR I never referred Clark or the Hunt's as "cheap". Only stupid. as in poor choices in spending and allowing an organization to run amok with each new "staff of hope".

Until this ownership actually puts in the effort to win, it won't happen but sporadically.

Fine, but Clark has been CEO since 2005 -- before Herm ever showed up and years before Carl completely clowned this franchise.

This is true. You can't say he dragged his heels on this one. And, to be fair, I sort of understand and forgive him for doing so on his previous occasion. His father was not there to consult or to advise. He was on his own for that one and perhaps a bit gun shy. I think he learned his lesson and hopefully will be more proactive on all major decisions in the future.

I want to make a correction.

I'm not convinced Hunt did the research on either Pioli or Reid.

I think he went out and signed the biggest name he could. That's as much about optics as it is about results. The best guy isn't always the biggest name.

I've defended Clark from the beginning. Most of the criticisms levied against him don't hold water unless they want an Al Davis/Dan Snyder/Jerry Jones owner pretending to be a GM. I sure as hell don't.

That's fair enough.

I do not know how active or token his role was at that point. I really doubt Clark, as CEO in 2005, could have just fired Peterson if he wanted to.

I'm saying the track record of EFFORT is there. The track record of success is not. The major criticism against him, that he doesn't care... would rather play soccer, are all bullshit.

Almost every decision he's made has been wrong, but they haven't been cheap.

Haters are going to hate, the hateful little bitches.

Clark is emerging as a pretty interesting guy, actually. It appears he is willing to spend enormous amounts of money in exchange for a good night's sleep knowing that the franchise is in good hands. No meddler, he.

I have always heard that Clark was "competitive". Almost everyone who knows him personally and speaks to the media about him eventually uses that adjective. So far as I am concerned, Clark's actions over the past few days speak to his desire to field a competitive team and I believe him to be a person who wants to win. He also must have a slight streak of "totally malicious vindictive asshole" in him, because castrating Dr. Evil in public then hauling him around as part of the HCIS (head coach interview squad) was kinda mean (although in retrospect, I really like it).

Difficult to read. Competitive. Wealthy and willing to spend cash. Doesn't meddle. Mean as hell.

The perfect owner.

You go, Clark!

Except for a small but not insignificant 26.6 million of salary cap..

the major complaint (and compliment, it seems) is that Clark Hunt has managed to pull out million$ in in annual profits while the team avg's 6 - 10 each season.

The problem with this organization has long been accountability. There seems to be a parallel universe in this fanbase -- some folks think the Hunt's are just peachy keen for being great businessmen while others hate the fact they have paid in so much for so little.

Which has absolutely nothing to do with how much a team is spending, as evident by the fact that the Chiefs spent the 3rd most money in the league in 2012.

I'm sorry you don't understand how the cap works with salaries and bonuses. It's not as tied to money paid out as you may think.

Which I believe goes back to Pioli and his dereliction of duty.
