About the Reid and drafting situation:
Eagles fans can come over here and tell you story A and story B, but the fact is no one knows the influence in the organization other than the people themselves. Before and during this past season beat writers and reporters who covered the team said Andy Reid lost control to Joe Banner around 2009 or 2010 and that is why the Eagles had horrific drafts in 2010 and 2011. Then the same reporters said that Reid gained power back before the 2012 draft and demanded he have power back in the organization.
Eagles owner Jeff Lurie said in his press conference to announce Reid's firing said there was no power struggle and Reid always had final say, but Roseman was responsible for giving Reid the right players to choose from. So the bottom line is no one knows for sure. People can make educated guesses, but anyone who states anything as fact isn't speaking truthfully.
