A lot of people have been hard on Richardson through this whole lockout, making him look like a divider, not a uniter...

But below is a lengthy video of several interviews with some owners following the NFL Owners ratification of the agreement.

Some high praise from some big time owners here, even from Jerry Jones! Repeated comments on his leadership skills.

Go Jerry.

Seems like most of the criticism on JR (ironically) came from people here. I think most "in the know" understood that this was a negotiation and most of the moves by either side was to try and gain an advantage.

I thought the Brees and Manning comments were great. Fact of the matter is JR is one of the few people that can say he not only knows football, but he also knows business. On top of this, he is still a hand shake kind of guy which is refreshing in such a non-hand shake world.

The owners got more money from the players than in the previous cba and jerry was one of the leaders.

Ofcourse the owners like him.

Money talks.

Guess you didn't watch the video.

The owners didn't get everything they wanted, but still arrived at a place all 31 of them could agree on. (Scabface doesn't count).

      The Coker thread

      By MHS831 · Posted

      That draft, if you recall, was before Fox's lame duck season.  It was the one draft when Marty Hurney was on his own without input.  I overheard Fox talking to Tergovac (I believe it was him--memory) and he was telling him "That's not an NFL QB."  Then he watched Armanti Edwards drop a simulated punt from the jugs machine, and he shook his head and walked off laughing sarcastically.  Hurney nabbed Clausen after two teams that desperately needed a QB passed on him--in rounds one AND two--and bragged that he stole a "top 10" QB.  He tried to trade away our first-rounder the following season to move up to pick #33 to grab him.  Then, rich with the draft capital he saved, traded up (later) for Armanti Edwards.  I read a rumor that the Colts bluffed him about their interest in Edwards and he took the bait.  Brandon Lafell in the third and I think he took headcase Hardy in the fifth or so that draft, with Eric Norwood (bust) in as our fourth rounder. Hurney sucked.

      TMac and Coker are more than adequate for any young quarterback. As far as the group beyond them what exactly are people expecting? At what point do people expect the #1 pick to begin to make his WR's better instead of the other way around?
