Its 100% accurate too.

Best lines in the whole article...

Richardson is a former player held in high regard among his fellow owners around the league, but remember that he's the same guy who reportedly dismissed the likes of Drew Brees and Peyton Manning during the lockout negotiations by insulting their intelligence and asking them if they knew how to read the revenue chart. It seems ironic that an owner who doesn't trust the players to understand basic economics has entrusted his team to a general manager who doesn't seem to have a strong grasp on it, either

He makes some valid points, many that have been made here. I do disagree with him about Lafell though. The Delhomme deal alone probably should have caused him to be on a short leash.

Agree.

Then came the trades, the cuts, the extensions, etc.

Really really bad job by the FO.

So now other people believe it's a problem when Hurney BELIEVES IN PLAYERS JUST BECAUSE HE PERSONALLY LIKES THEM instead of making good business decisions to help you win games right now?

Doesn't Brandon Hogan STILL deserve to be on this team, much less drafted?

Thomas Davis would've been Hall of Fame material, if he could stay healthy, but he can't, so he should have AND WOULD HAVE been replaced a long time ago...if you cared more about the product you put on the field than how you PERSONALLY feel about the men you put on the field.

I'm sure Hurney would be great TO WORK FOR, but will you ever win consistently with him? No, like I've always said, because he holds on too long.

Heart over head...Buddies over business only gets you so far.

You know it's bad when there's even something on the ESPN.com main page calling your GM incompetent.

Granted I don't stop by there daily or anything but it seems pretty rare for them to call out any GM in such a way. Generally after a big loss all the heat falls on a teams quarterback or head coach. Articles on front office personnel seem pretty rare, especially one that's as critical as this.

      Not sure how much he was a long term piece of this team.   Sucks to not have him as part of the rotation.   Looks like it's Lee Hunter time.

      I am not sure he will put the over the games but we’ll probably have them.   Two things I am thinking.  We have 4 preseason games.  All the coaches have enough service time to know the standards that are in place for decades. If I recall it was play your starters just a series to start woth and build it up until week theee where play a lot and you have week four to set hour roster. Evaluate before cuts.   Bevell will certainly have the whole thing down pat.   I’d they don’t do the fries and frie air will worry too. Because it is set up to do that.     I have said since they went t three preseason people have to figure a new way are still feeling it out and trying things.  We don’t have to this year.
