Carl's the GM. If we've drafted poorly, he's the guy to blame. I don't care who the coach wanted, it's ultimately the GM's responsibility. When Carl showed some balls in 2003, he got a good player.
And that year he went against his coaches wishes. Don't get me wrong, I'm not excusing CP from our pitiful drafts. All I'm saying is DV and his scouts told CP to get player X and for the most part that's the player that CP drafted. Should CP have been more diligent before drafting the likes of Downing, Freeman, Minnis, Battle, etc? Probably. But those were the guys that DV and his staff wanted. The bulk of the blame goes squarely to Dick.

Technicians work hard at the Chiefs lab to study the draft and its empirical nature.

his job is to win games ... not make his coaches feel good about themselves. if a coach is good at selecting talent then he should let them if a coach isn't ... then he shouldn't

![]() Think about it- we were one of the worst passing D's the past few seasons and if you're not good enough to make this squad, then I don't think you have a "better" opportunity anywhere else. Damn, that's harsh. I'm surprised by Battle's release, 'cause I would have figured Bartee would have been the first to go. Who knows, maybe Edwards has finally gotten Bartee to turn his head around and look at the ball now. ![]()

His job is to hire people to win games. And that assumes that winning games is even part of the company charter handed down by the owner. Given what we've seen over the last 20 years, I'm gonna guess that winning games isn't priority #1. |
