That's exactly what he's doing, IMO - along with a few others.

You are assuming that was cowhers pick to make. Or that cowher envisioned Ben as an ideal game manager, which is how I see it. Until I see compelling proof, I see cowher as a guy who wants a power running game and would settle for a game manager at qb.

I won't give even close to a damn unless that happens.

In a sense, I don't think he is telling the truth about it being his baby -- he is either leaning on Pioli or he has all but fired Pioli and is leaning on someone like Marty.

Bypassing the front office for the most important decision they make without cleaning house makes no sense unless there is already a new shadow GM.

Everyone jizzed their shorts over Jim Zorn.

Why?

He was a QB guy. He'll fix everything.


You don't need a QB guy as the HC.

You need the right QB - and that requires good scouting, not a guy like Mike Holmgren who coached the position when Noah was loading the ark.

it also means you aren't serious about winning a superbowl, just papering things over to get fans back in the seats...

Clark has to a) fire pioli and b) draft a QB or this has been a total waste of time...

Clark grew up in the football business.

I think his lack of knowledge is wildly overstated

He only found one, so it's unlikely that he knows how to find one.

Do you really think Cowher, a LB, LB coach and DC, is going to rely on his own opinion to select a QB?

There will be a QB guru on staff who will advise Chin.

This is not Pioli 2.0.

Mike holmgren coached three hall of fame qbs. You aren't seriously going to build the case that cowher knows qbs better than holmgren. Holmgren didn't fall into favre. He fought the front office to keep him. He groomed steve young all the way from college. And he has coached three different styles of qbs in different eras. I get the age argument. But this guy is a hell of a lot more impressive than cowher.
