The one thing Jordan needs to work and prove is that he can market and make someone else besides him the "star of the show". I think he really struggles with that. He's always been the guy on every team he played on, he's always been the guy post-career, he's just always been the guy. So as an exec for him to pool all his resources into another player and make him the "face" of his business is foreign to him. I think thats part of why he struggles. Its a lot easier when you're always the "face". Even in Washington there was no superstar, he eventually came back and started playing. It should also be noted none of the Team Jordan employees like Ray Allen, Cp3, Melo, etc show any interest in working for him as players. Jordan gets in his own way as an exec because of his assholish demeanor (that fans might not care about but players and agents do) and his inability/resistance to put the spotlight on someone else.

I'm sure MJ wants to be competitive and win but he must realize it'll only happen through the draft. The draft, however, is a complete crapshoot. Not very often does a Durant, LeBron, Melo, CP3, etc...come along and when they do sometimes boneheaded the still miss. Only LeBron was a #1 pick. Durant went 2nd and everyone thought Down wad the next great center. Melo I think went 3rd behind Darko. CP3 went 4th. Really how many can't miss draft picks at #1 were there? LeBron, Duncan, ???

CP3 should be ours! f'in hornets traded up. The only major dumbass move was Adam Morrison.

      I just want to see a big guy with an NFL certified cannon arm suit up for the panthers again. To me, it will show that they are at least  trying to take the QB position in the direction it needs to go.   Will he throw picks? Yes. Probably a hell of a lot, but (for now) I’m strangely ok with that… for now. I at least need to see a dude that CAN make the throws with some semblance of accuracy.  This is the time to see what the QB whisperer is made of. The offensive talent is there. It’s certainly better than most rookie/journeymen QBs will ever step in to. If he can get a random dude playing at a JAG level, then I might be sold.  Andy could really surprise in the Buffalo game. He (for now) still has enough arm for Tet and XL to show what they’ve got, but we all know it’s only going to be good for 3-4 games, max. He has vet savvy, and that does account for a lot. He also has a full week of practice with all the snaps to prepare.  My best case scenario going forward: Andy plays the next 2 games nobly (winning one would be a huge bonus) giving White a chance to learn some of the playbook and develop chemistry with the players. Serviceable Andy turns in to old man Andy in game 3 and White takes the field after halftime.  A high ankle sprain (lol, sure it is) is an injury that can buy the team a LONG time for BY to ride the pine…. Maybe even IR. His peak trade value is now. Get what they can for this albatross. He’s now shown that he can be a mid level backup which does hold a significant value for the right team.  Not even in my wildest dreams do I see White being anything more than a JAG, but that’s ok. JAGs with a big arm make great bridge QBs that at least won’t have your play makers stagnating. Keeping BY under center is a 100% recipe for stagnating high ceiling (Tet/XL) dudes and/or not allowing them to take the next step in their development. Why even practice the good half of the playbook if the QB can’t make the throw? After a while, you’ve now got high ceiling guys who can only run a limited route tree. No thanks.
