Even the Orange Mane is melting down over this. Just a terrible mistake that can be seen from miles away.

Has there ever been an example of a top-tier/HOF type player going into the front-office of the same team they played for - and succeeding?
The two off the top of my head - Elway and Magic Johnson - arent doing so hot.

just thinking out loud, but it looks a little like the NFL's usual 'regression to the mean' thing.
So...The Patriots look around at all these spread-concept high flying offenses (which, by the way, they were ahead of the curve on a decade ago but no longer have the personnel to run) and Belichick says..."**** it. Let's smash 'em in the mouth. Make them play physical." And lo, most of them can't do it. They've built defenses to try to slow down empty backfield spread offenses and nobody's got the beef to stop a smash-mouth running attack. And few offenses can really handle being forced to be patient and go to their third and fourth options all game long. So the Patriots get another ring. Now, the loser teams all look at that and say, "Great plan! Let's do that." And so...we'll have a cycle of several teams trying to play old school smash mouth and play-action passing, especially if they don't have an elite QB. |

Give credit to Elway, he can admit a mistake and move on...by doing another mistake.

I could hire a monkey to throw darts at a board and get better personnel decisions than Elway.

And now Bronco fans get to live the horror at QB that Chiefs fans have been living for decades.
