Quote from: T200 on January 06, 2025, 01:26:17 PMHaving Jones on the roster, thus preventing a better QB, is on Mara.

Disagree all you want. Mara's decision to keep Schoen and Daboll tells me he knows he got in the way.

If he truly believed Schoen wasn't a good GM, he'd have fired both.

Tim,

It seems everything convinces you that Mara prevented Schoen and Daboll from doing the job their way.   :laugh:
SMART, TOUGH, DEPENDABLE

Your earlier statements that "were brought in to feed into/prop up Mara's delusional fantasies about Jones" would suggest otherwise.

To me the best way to show Mara Jones wasn't the guy was to bring in a better backup and if and when he had a chance to start and looked better than Jones, the delusion would be hard to defend. 

In any business, purposely failing to show your boss he is wrong is inexcusable.  Is this philosophy about backups being backups true with the OL?  Is that why they dropped like a rock when AT went down? 

Guess none of it really matters.  They will either improve next year or be out the door.   
I don't completely disagree with your points.

I don't necessarily agree with how they handled it either. But I 100% understand it.
