  • Would like to keep Sashi for things such as contract structures, trade deals, etc etc.   

    The fact he still got a pick out of KC for Erving is... nothing short of a minor miracle.

    How did Sashi ever get this job to begin with?  

    I was wondering the same thing just yesterday.....

    Shashi was already here and was a team lawyer....doing contracts, research, etc.....so, at some point, either Jimmy went to him and said "can you be a GM?".....or Shashi came to Jimmy and said "I have an idea how to run this thing?"......

    Somebody(and probably NOT Jimmy) had to develop the concept of this whole analytic thing and the hiring of Depo, etc etc etc.....just dont know how that came to be....

    Personally....I think Jimmys hands were tied....he was at the end of his rope....ran out of good ideas and options....had no one on the horizon(and had already fired everyone) and Shashi told him....""let me handle this".....and Jimmy said OK...

    and here we are....

    I'll second that.

  • Mud, isn't your story proof positive that you can NOT fire everyone? Who's next? The janitor comes up to Jimmy and says he has a plan so he takes the reigns? Surely you see this.

  • Don't forget, a homeless guy drafted Manziel.

    Yeah...Im not advocating firing everyone.....(well, maybe a little yesterday)(or a lot)(but Ive cooled down)(a little)......just not happy with the process.....

    I get that firing these guys will just start the ugly cycle again.....and Jimmy has burned all his lives with his credibility in NFL coachings circles......so we'd just get another suck butt coach or GM......which is a large part of my extreme frustration.......(Jimmy doesnt know what he's doing...he's our biggest obstacle to success)

    Its just a bad situation....with no winning in our immediate future.....

    Though I have a feeling about next weeks game.....(good? bad?...im not sure....but its a feeling)

    Fair enough. This board just needs to be shut down for 24 hours after losses.

    You mean the starting RT on the 5-0 Chiefs? He doesn't grade well still, but they are winning anyway thanks to Smith's escape ability.

    @texasag1969 said:

    Mitchell Schwartz is the starting RT for the chiefs - and the backup LT to erik fisher. If Fisher is out [this happened week 1] then Schwartz moves to LT and Cam Erving would start.  

    Schwartz left as FA; Erving is the one who was traded.

    That was Joe Banner.  Farmer was a pompous dope.

    First.. WTF are Peyton Manning's qualifications to become a GM?

    Haven't I explained this to you in the past? More than once?
