Is Jerry Richardson just too damn old?

I'm don't mean this as a slam on JR, but it just hit me that the man is 76 years old running a billion dollar franchise seemingly with impunity. In what other scenario would someone at such an advanced age have so much unchecked control?

I wonder, does JR still have what it takes to make the correct decisions in this fast paced, always on the clock league? Hopefully the new GM will hit the ground running and be much more than another "yes man".

Edit: With impunity. I told you I was high when I wrote this.

Why do people keep saying Hurney was a yes-man? It's pretty annoying. The only thing people have to support this is 2010 (and IMO, this was pretty exaggerated - all we really did was release old veterans and we did try to re-sign Pep, feeling just wasn't mutual) and that was due to the upcoming lockout. Otherwise, I'm not seeing it, especially considering Richardson fired him.

And most NFL owners are old.

seemingly without impunity

op seemingly without formal schooling

You have to love these threads where some fool who probably never made it out of a piss poor secondary education system, starts complaining about the habits and intelligence level of the owner of a multi million dollar corporation built from scratch.

would you rather have someone younger like Dan Snyder?

Because as we know................... he makes all the right decisions.

      Malcom Spence is the best player remaining, hope he’s there.

      The era that you played in, and, more importantly, who you played with actually matters. Honestly, that's why these issues will be debated forever, as it's just difficult to say that this person or that person is better when you're discussing the passage of time. As for me, after Rice, Moss and maybe Megatron and T.O., there's probably a dozen or so guys that can be argued about to the cows come home. Personally, I'm not putting Fitz, Harrison, Johnson, Evans, or especially D-Hop, Jefferson, Chase or Hill definitely in front of Smitty (and Colston ain't even in the discussion). Context and all that stuff actually matters. Things like the triple crown matter.

      Some of those guys? Yeah honestly you can.  I would 100% take Steve Smith over Larry Fitzgerald, Harrison, even Mike Evans. He is 100% a better player than those guys in his prime. If you look at the numbers Smith is historically under targeted in comparison to his contemporaries. He was only targeted 150 times or more only once in his career. Fitzgerald for example was targeted well above that 9 different seasons. Had Smith played with Peyton, Brady, Greatest Show on Turf, or even with Warner in Arizona he would broken records. His 2008 season was ridiculous accumulating 1400 yards in 13 games on less than 80 receptions. All time he also lost a season due to injury in 04, barely played WR as a rookie. Got robbed of 1k season with Clausen. Thats easily another 1800yds minimum that should have been tacked on to his #s. The only guys I’d say for certain are better than Smith are Rice, Moss, TO, Megatron, Julio Jones, Antonio Brown.
