Let's not anoint them just yet, Show me where I said that JD has been exemplary. Besides getting three picks for a box safety who is a locker room cancer, I'd say that JD is doing a satisfactory job so far. Could he have done a better job at securing a kicker? Yes. Could he have signed Robby for a reasonable contract? Yes. I haven't anointed JD, and it would be silly to at this point. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The right time being the cap situation and draft capital. The Gase disaster oddly enough set us up for this. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

At least CJ wasn't too proud to admit his mistakes and corrected them. Most guys at that financial level have no ability to do that. I'll buy into giving the guy some cred. But yes. Any one of us could have done this job much much better than we've seen this past decade. 40 years really if you take out a handful of years. Soo..

BloodGreen 211 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 Let’s remember that the only real qualification to be an owner is obscene wealth. It requires no football acumen whatsoever. He has excelled in the wealth aspect of the job so far, and evolved in all the other ancillary skills based on recent decisions.

Greenbloodblitz 3,040 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 BS! I said this in another thread Chris Johnson has done an excellent job. Things don't always happen overnight. I think he has listened to the fans, I think he listened to Gase which led to Joe Douglas which led to firing a bunch of people in the front office. I think he has listened and learned a lot more than Woody ever did. I think it would be a huge mistake to remove him from his current post. The guy is clearly learning from his mistakes. For chrissakes were just finally putting it all together and changing the structure and things are happening and going in a positive direction. Let's not mess it up now. 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

kelticwizard 10,056 Posted January 23 Share Posted January 23 I give him credit for realizing the management methods needed changing. Chris Johnson came on as a placeholder until his brother came back in a few years. As such, he tried to just run the team as his brother did, selecting the coach and GM separately. This was unsuccessful, as it was unsuccessful under his brother. So he decided to make the change to where the coach is selected by the GM and answers to him, the way successful teams run things. You might say it's no big deal, but somebody had to do it and he did. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Your grandmother isn't involved in a 3 billion + organization? Glad she's a great cook, but I just proved you wrong. Do you realize how much comes across this guy's desk on a daily basis? And let me make it clear I'm not picking on you or defending the Johnsons constant flubs over the years. But you have to be realistic man. Like I said three billion plus organization. It's not a high school football team. It's not as simple as drafting 5 wide receivers in a deep wide receiver draft. I totally get that you're unhappy with the results that you're seeing on the field as am I, but the guy straightened everything out as close as it's been to right and as long as I've been following the team which is 25 + years. The johnsons are not cheap. They throw money at free agents, stadiums, new uniforms you name it. I'm pretty sure they're trying to get it right. Negativity from the fan base and or media definitely doesn't help. You can say it's all about results and I understand and respect that stance, however there's a lot more going on behind the scenes than you probably realize. On a daily basis. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Please find one substantial thing Chris has done? We won’t agree here. I have worked with many successful people in my career. CEOs, billionaires , etc... none behave like Chris. He is as close to a zero as it gets. Woody leaves a 3 billion dollar org to his unaccomplished brother? Please don’t try to defend them.

Beliechick was a paranoid weirdo who didnt want Parcells around and jumped for the Kraft offer of the keys to the org, which he was afraid he would never get with Parcells around. Woody tried to get help with the hires that led him to Idzik and Macc, Idzik came from a search group, Macc from two HOF GMs. Sometimes it doesnt work. CJ hired GAse, huge error. But hes now hired JD and Saleh. Might not be so intellectually limited. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

I will say this.. for all the years Woody was here he would change things up for no reason, make some knee-jerk reaction, fire or hire ...like Tim Tebow or Brett Favre. His brother has not done that. He seems much more composed and in touch. If you look at where we are set up right now that's all credited to him. I think Chris Johnson really gives a s***.
