BTW, after interviewing Clark Hunt last weekend, I can now understand why the Chiefs are a mess. Nepotism isn’t necessarily a good thing.

@ArrowheadPride He just didn’t strike me as the sharpest guy around. Seems kind of overmatched.

It still doesnt change the fact that if Clark truly had a passion for football or the chiefs he wouldn't of went to southern millionaires university for 7 years or went and got a financial job after college for 10 years.

If news came out that big nasty kc nut and LAchiefsfan had a love child, I know who I'll be looking toward

This does more to expose the writer than Hunt.

Hunt may not be the 'wittiest' guy around. He may not be the savviest guy around. To claim he isn't sharp or is somehow stupid.. by a guy who's a ****ing SPORTS JOURNALIST... which is damn near the most lowly profession in the world?

As Chad Johnson would say... 'Child Please'

Clark is like five foot two.

Are people REALLY surprised he played soccer over football?

If so, are you a functional reerun? I mean can you feed yourself?

The fans would like to give a special thanks Jerry Jones, Dan Snyder, Mike Brown, Dean Spanos and Woody Johnson for their daily involvement.

Dean Spanos doesn't give two craps about the Chargers until his hand is forced.

I believe in Clark Hunt.

People can say he is football stupid all they want, the moment he took over he did what most of us message board guys wanted this team to do...tear it down and build it back up through the draft.

He fired Peterson and went out and got a premier GM (as perceived at the time) to replace him and publicly said he wanted us to draft and develop our own franchise quarterback. Clark has also argued with Pioli on many topics regarding this team (as Pioli said during his Dawson interview.)

It's also been reported that we are one of the highest cash spending teams in the league, so he has written the checks.

Now, if he doesn't tear it down again and hire the right guy this time around, we have something to worry about.

Jerry Jones sh#ts on Clark in every aspect.

At least Jerry cares about his team and is involved in every process AND has a deep passion for the game of football. Clark just sits back, lives in dallas, watches away games on tv, and makes sure the chiefs are profitable, which every team in the league is. clarks a joke. he has not accomplished anything of actual significance in his life.

1 in 60 years. Yet again that is on Lamar not Clark. Being involved in every process is not a good thing. Ask Cowboy fans about that. Pretty sure Clark doesn't watch road games on television. Jones has been doing this for a lot longer then Clark, lets act surprised that he has achieved more.

Clark went out and got the best GM he could. Not sure what else a normal person expects from him.

Hard to believe. I love how it's a shot at someone personally if they grew up in wealth. Is it Clark's fault his dad was loaded? Does that mean he can't have work ethic?

What an epic logic fail this is. The idea that you can't be good at something if it isn't your number 1 passion. You don't want an owner making personnel decisions. Hire a GM and trust him.

Go talk to Cowboys fans. See how much they "love" that Jones is their GM. He won when he let Jimmy do his thing. Now that Jerry is the whole show they can't get out of their own way.

Go read what Jerry said about himself. He literally admitted he would fire the GM for his performance IF the GM wasn't himself. Do you know how much Cowboy fans hate him for that right now? "Hey our GM sucks but since I am the GM I am not going to change it." Yeah sounds like a guy who cares more about winning then having fun with his toy.

Agreed, but I think we should end it with AMEN because that seems more like a prayer than a reality.

Even though your generation did such a good job at ****ing everything up already. You better belcher yourself right now to save yourself from the pain.

Advantage: Hunt

LOL, Hunt's a key component of SD's continued chances of winning this division in years to come (but not this year)! You need him to keep owning this team!

People are jealous of anyone born into wealth, so they want to say they didn't "earn" their $ so they have to be dumb and lazy because they didn't work for it.

**** I would love to have been born into wealth but I am not going to judge a guy who appears to have done nothing but work his whole life.

If Clark had wanted to he could be doing jack and shit, instead he works for a living. His involvement at the front of the CBA negotiations wasn't mandatory. If the other owners thought he was dumb I doubt they would have been too keen on that.

Well said... He does get in his own way at times, but alas he has the hardware we'd all love to see in our trophy case again some day.

All of his hardware was earned by Jimmy Johnson (including the 1 Switzer won) and a trade that can not be repeated and a team built mostly pre FA.

Since then they have won 1 more playoff game than KC.

If you don't get how JJ got his trophies and why he hasn't had another since the last one, you don't get it.

But keep on chirpin.

Failure is failure, whether hands on or hands off.

Yeah, three SB trophies later, and they're feeling our pain! LOL! Admittedly it's been a dry spell by Dallas standards, but the once-every-60+-years plan we're on gives a deeper understanding of franchise failure.

Aside from hiring Jimmy Johnson what did Jerry do to earn 3 SB trophies? Why have they won 1 playoff game since?
