The truth is that I believe Hunt and Reid didn't want either Dorsey or Ballard here. Those guys are too competent at their jobs and wouldn't have tolerated being 100% deferential to anything that Andy wants which Veach is.

Andy got his feelings hurt when Dorsey cut Maclin without asking his permission.

Hunt got pissed when Dorsey pushed back on signing Berry to a big contract.

Those two decided they wanted complete and unquestioned control and so they pushed out the two competent GMs on the roster and installed a Yes Man stooge in Veach who they could tell to do whatever they wanted.

They played up the fact that Veach was the scout on Mahomes in order to trick the fans into thinking he was some sort of savant young GM and have since been content to let him Piledrive this roster into the ground, as long as he doesn't question their authority.

Reid is a great coach, but he also has a huge ego and Hunt is infatuated with Andy.

Because of that, we kicked two of the best talent evaluators in the league out the door and installed a dud. Great organizations check their egos at the door and are able to work together in order to achieve something greater than themselves.

Reid and Hunt couldn't do that and that's what is ultimately going to doom this potential dynasty.

Holy shit.
