Sure but most credible posters have a shred of evidence to support their point. What is yours other than your opinion with nothing to base it on?

 

In your opinion, my opinion is baseless. Congratulations, you don't agree.

 

Am I free to go now, Your Honor, or must I face the wrath of the All-Knowing P55?

I know for a fact that the newspapers made a big deal about it. Did Richardson say anything in an interview?? No. Did he make any public statements at the time except when he made his decision? All he said was that things needed to improve. Wow, that sure was a big deal. If this had been Jerry Jones it would have been a big deal. Richardson is low key with the media and always has been.

Your reality is negative. Not something we share at all, thank goodness.

Jerry Richardson has a lot more Jerry Jones in him than people acknowledge. Only difference is one likes the the media and spotlight....other avoids it.

everything is about perception....you choose to look at some statements and choose to interpret them as negative. Some are, some aren't. Wanting to discuss some non rainbow and sunshine things doesn't make anyone a negative person

I am actually not talking negatively about Gettlemen at all at the moment. You just take it that way. From my perspective I actually want him to do the things he probably shouldn't.....but he is making good calls IMO. He has to get this franchise on track and that means what occurs after this year is HUGE IMO.

I am higher on this team than many posters here. People get too fixated on certain topics and ones I choose to enjoy. I see no need to part take in the everything is awesome about X topics....if I agree there is little point outside of one post never to be repeated.

Richardson made it known RR's fate is very questionable....and he barely kept his job. He did it with his flair....but he did it. Can't really deny that....facts show that.

If your opinion is based on fact then what is it?  I love how people make off the wall opinions and when they get called on it, get offended and all butt hurt.

 

I don't pretend to be all knowing I just take what the experts say who I think do.  Obviously something that is too rare on this site.

Do you know what Richardson's pet name for Jones is?  He calls him coach?  Why?  Because Jones is always messing in the coach's decisions which Richardson says he tries not to do.

 

So your perception is you aren't negative?  I wonder why few else share that perception about you?? Maybe you are positive about things but all you seem to write about are the negative ones.  Or maybe you have certain negative dead horses you pound on all the time.  I don't know.

 

I have always heard that if one person says something about you it might be them.  If a few people say it about you, you might want to take notice.  But if most people think something about you, it becomes consensus and it likely true regardless of what you think.

[thefuzz]

And you know this because you are Kreskin or some other soothsayer?  You have an inside source or Gettleman is your neighbor.  Or like with other conspiracy theorists you made it up in your own head so it must be true......

 

I'm not going to act like I play golf with DG or anything, but honestly, how many new GM's brought in to fix a nasty situation have kept the coaching staff from the previous reign?

 

I fully expect RR to be gone this offseason.  Fox should have been gone a year earlier, if not two, Hurney should have been gone at least two years earlier, and RR probably should have been gone last year.

 

Had we wiped the slate clean, let DG bring in his guy, we could have fielded a much better coaching staff that isn't a bunch of dudes on 1 year deals, and the true rebuilding could start.

 

You may be right, and DG want's to keep RR here long term, but I don't buy it, and I would guess that history is on my side on this one.

Dude, wth?

 

Just let it go. What is up with all the attacks on people? So you think they guy is negative and his posts are negative, fine, so be it.

 

So his opinion isn't in line with yours, so what? 

 

WTF, man, lighten up, would ya...

Our Jerry has had his hand in a lot of our mess....

Again, I choose here to talk about issues that I find concerning or crucial to our success. That is bc those interest me the most on this format. I may feel Luke is the bees knees but participating in threads that dwell on his awesomeness is boring....despite me agreeing and being one of he founders (along with you) of that bandwagon.

You pound a lot of the same drums I do....just from the opposite view point. Only difference is you think you are justified on your opinion and the other side isn't. They are just opinions. I have said it before, if you want to moan and groan about differing opinions simply quit discussing them....problem solved. You do a lot of what you complain about.....only you think bc it is the opposite stance it is somehow different

I don't know it was a nasty situation.  Most GMs who come in have a mess to clean up player wise which we didn't.  Gettleman came in because Hurney had significant cap management issues and brought in players that were not used in our scheme.  Gettleman kept virtually the whole front office.  He kept all the scouts and football personnel.  For the most part he kept most of the players albeit to better contracts.

I disagree that DG could have come in and cleaned house and done better.  Most of the arguments you guys make have little that is based in reality.  Tell me when Gettleman was brought in exactly who were all these coaches looking for a job?  By the time we hired him most coaches had already been picked.  A big part of that is why Rivera was going to be here whether Richardson likes him or not.  This year was about continuity and building on what we had not blowing it apart.  Gettleman said he didn't like it when GMs just came in and blew everything up.  He said coaches and players had families and lives and wanted to give them a chance to prove themselves before getting rid of them.  I don't know about trends or history, I just know our situation.

We will always have the 2011 and 2012 draft agreements, 55... cheers!!!

Isn't that what you would say if the owner said that he was too cheap to fire a coach with that many years left on his deal?

 

So you don't thing inheriting a D that was a mess, being over the cap, having a coach that knows it's put up or shut up, and an owner telling you, you can't hire your guys is not a nasty situation?

 

Our situation is like most of the others out there, you get a new GM, new coaches, FO, and for that matter many new players are soon to follow.

I do respond to you when I think you are wrong.  I don't have the same obsessive leanings you do such that I always pound on the same issues all the time like Williams for example.  The difference between you and I is that I try to base my opinions on what the experts think or what is been reported from the horses mouth.  I do speculate sometimes but rarely base my opinion on pure speculation which is what you are doing here.  Most people just ignore you because you go on and on and try to overwhelm people trying to get in the last word.  I am just one of the few willing to take you on.
