Now the way they make a difference in the team is different than the GM, HC or QB, but they sure as hell should make a difference.

So how mnay SB's do you have to win in what recent time period to be a "good" owner.

Your criteria, your opinion, what is it?

Looking at the math... In a league of 32 teams, each with 16 teams, I'd say you should be competing for the trophy once every 16 years or so.

So why do you think Kraft is so successful? He just got lucky with a HC? I'll admit he did, but it might not have just been luck, let's not forget that many people questioned that at the time. He hired a competent HC and gave him more control over final decisions than the GM (Pioli!).. Maybe he just got lucky, maybe he's just plain smart, maybe both...

Read what my post was in response to. There are clearly good owners and bad owners. But the good owners aren't ones with good "football IQ". Or that is to say that their football IQ isn't the difference maker. They aren't making decisions about personnel. You think Kraft tells Bellichek what to do? Kraft has influence on how the team is run overall and that's not about football IQ. You don't need to know the game of football at a high level to be a good NFL owner. That was my point.

I don't really like the house analogy only because the overall judging of a house is based off of opinion or feel while an NFL team are results.

I agree.. But he did know enough about football to give the man who is football guy the final say in personnel decisions. It can be risky, but even if not in front of the camera, he stayed close enough to the two (BB and SP) to make sure shit-for-brains SP didn't F-up the club like he has KC. I'm sure when SP got to KC he made sure CHunt gave him the final say.. And Chunt never dug deep enough to figure out just how important SP not having the final say was... I'm no big fan of Haley, but I'd love for him to spill his guts TOTALLY in the near future... I know it won't happen, but it would be a great read.

At a minimum CHunt is certainly left wondering WTF he let happen! Kraft just laughs and says, "stick around kid, you have a lot to learn about the game, and you just got gamed..." Maybe not...

I think kraft worked his ass off to become the owner of the pats -- he worked for that.

clark? no. he has failed as an NFL owner also. so, there's that.

Dude...

What makes you think kraft is the one that the players do that for? Belichek is the one who cuts them if they don't give it their all. Not Kraft

I still believe Clark Hunt is a smart dude who will turn out to be a great owner. This opinion will take a very big "hit" if he keeps Pioli after this season, but for now it stands.

I hope you're right.. He needs to cram before this final exam.. Not to worry, Daddy built a wing on the facility so he's good, he'll pass...

And I was in section 124, row 19 that day when we got sent home after watching PM audible the Colts to a win in what I think was about the loudest I've ever heard Arrowhead!!!... And only the clock stopped PM, at the half, from scoring drives.... And Dick cried days later when Greg was axed, that was touching!! JFC, don't remind me!
