Popular Post T0mShane Posted May 24, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted May 24, 2019 Champ Kelly: Here is my resume, these are my accomplishments, this was my role on the Bears, these are the players I comprehensively scouted and successfully drafted, and this is a voluminous list of those successes. I am prepared, I am motivated, and I am ready to lead your franchise into a bright and successful future. Chris Johnson: Wonderful. Wonderful. So, tell me, what did you think of Game of Thrones, huh? 1 1 1 13 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's meant as a slight on Kelly. I just think it's obvious Douglas is the guy and the only other guy they're even interviewing meets the Rooney requirement. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
varjet Posted May 24, 2019 Share Posted May 24, 2019 I think Douglas has a bigger job/more responsibility than Kelly currently has. Kelly is only an Assistant Director of Personnel. One of Mac's problems was that he did not know how to be GM. Douglas' experience, plus working under Roseman, should position him well. The Bears have been drafting well. Let Kelly continue to develop. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I laughed out loud until I realized just how ineffective, inefficient and sad it is. But it does give aspiring minority candidates an opportunity to have somewhat real interviews and a more complete picture of the process and what's needed. So there's always that. It as also allows greater quantity of exposure, albeit forced, but probably elevates many minority candidates from going through it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't think it's meant as a slight on Kelly. I just think it's obvious Douglas is the guy and the only other guy they're even interviewing meets the Rooney requirement. 1) We don't know if all of that is 100% true 2) Just because Douglas is the favorite doesn't mean he's guaranteed the job. He's gotta interview and go through the process for confirmation. 3) Calling Champ a Rooney interview is very much a slight on Kelly and quite disrespectful. It's almost like saying somebody got a certain job or got into a certain school because of "affirmative action". Maybe, just maybe, Champ has all the qualifications needed to become a GM while also just happening to fulfill a requirement. Instead of being called a Rooney interview, which implies that he's only being brought in to fulfill a requirement and ignoring his qualifications 7 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's 1.5 million people in Suffolk County, tons of my friends are Jet fans & I see Jet hats/shirts/sweatshirts somewhere all the time out there. Most Jet fans could give two sh*ts what some other NFL fan thinks of them. It's actually pretty amazing how well Jet fans travel if you look at our history. Its easy for Steelers fans, Pats fans, ect to travel knowing they are going to watch a franchise QB, hell, I got tickets for the Titans cause my son lives in Nashville & had to watch a 16-0 lead disintegrate before my eyes with Josh McCown at QB and Bowles/Rogers/Bates on the sideline. Jet fans deserve f*cking medals of honor for their patronage. It's easy being a Steeler or Patriots fan. 5 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
