It highlights how bad it is on so many levels. They want him to run wide but was too slow. They wanted him to be the qb and face of a franchise but he is an addict.

Being intelligent has almost nothing to do with being a billionaire in a lot of cases. Being born a pecker’s length from home plate is often far more relevant than intelligence. 1 hour ago, Kiwibrown said: Manziel was super marketable, that's what Jimmy saw imo. For sure.

Being competent in one field often doesn't translate into others. For example, I'll use doctors, or as I like to call them, the most overrated smart people on the planet. Don't get me wrong, many are often very knowledgeable in their particular area/field, but that's not the universal intelligence we often credit them with. I think billionaires are often the same. Steve Jobs, Bill Gates, etc. know a lot about their products, marketing, etc., but that doesn't mean they'll be able to step in and run a football franchise in a competent manner. Often times these guys have little to no delegation skills, so they are "control freaks" that don't know how to stay in their own lanes. And let's be blunt, for a lot of these guys, it's a status and entertainment thing. They reap the profits whether or not their team is good...and many would rather run things their way because it's "their team" regardless of the outcome: See: Dan Snyder (The Late Al Davis and Jerruh to a degree but he wants to win/wanted to win) I think Jimmy falls into this camp without question even by his own admission.

I would disagree. I think Haslam does care. I think he's embarrassed by the crap show that we've put out there the last few years. He doesn't know how to run an organization and is definitely not adept at finding a "leader of men" to run his team, but I do think he genuinely wants to win Super Bowls here, regardless of money. His name is attached to a perennial losing franchise. That can't sit well with anyone and that's why he has had such an itchy trigger finger when it comes to firing people in his tenure...until Stefanski. I give him credit for trying...he's just bad at it. He's the Andrew Sendejo of ownership. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Per the bolded on my end, I was saying that Jimmy falls into the "meddling and incompetent" portion, not the "I don't care" portion. Lerner was firmly in the "I don't care" portion. Dolan is in the "I don't care" portion. Jimmy definitely cares. He also is meddlesome, incompetent, and impatient. 10 minutes ago, BetterCallSaul said: I think he's embarrassed by the crap show that we've put out there the last few years.

I still remember when he was in college and got kicked out of the Manning passing camp for being too hungover to fulfill his duties and not wanting to go near him with a 10 foot pole (so of course we drafted him).
