It just seemed a little over the top to me that's all. I really don't think it's that serious. LOL

There needs to be a clear alpha dog, because people are power-hungry, insecure, and competitive. Establish the alpha dog, and a lot of drama goes away. The problem here is, there *is* a clear alpha dog, and it is the wrong dog.

I know a lot of you are going to say that McKay handles the business-side while Dimitroff handles the football side. And that appears to be true. But nothing says it has to stay that way. After all, McKay is the CEO. He is the boss. Dimitroff is merely one of the employees McKay manages.

This is a dysfunctional arrangement, and it is going to bite us in the ass ... it is just a matter of time.

I think you're seeing the worst possible outcome out of a set of the worst possible scenarios in a situation that probably isn't going to be that big of a deal at all.

I'm glad you and rad chimed in, I thought I was the only one who thought so for a moment. Ive been on bad acid trips where I wasn't nearly as paranoid lol.

Ok, you're all welcome to your opinions. Time will tell. I hope I am wrong, but I don't think so.

Look at it this way: would bellichik accept a gm role in this situation? Would cowher? Dimitroff is one of the best gm's in the business. When does he stop getting treated like a smart little kid, and start being handed the keys to a franchise like he deserves? If Atlanta is not going to be smart enough to do it, some franchise will.

But, it does not appear to be a problem yet, so I will keep my fingers crossed and hope everything works out ok.

umm, the man was raised his whole life on the football field, his dad was a heck of a college coach, didn't do a lot with the Bucs their first few seasons, but was a heck of a coach none the less. I wouldn't say Rich doesn't have a football background

Yes, yes, yes. McKay failed miserably as GM for the Falcs. We were and this is no exageration the laughingstock of the league at the end of his tenure. Sooner or later McKay is going to try to meddle with personell issues and we are going to be burnt big time.

Don't forget McKay drafted Jamaal Anderson with the 8th pick in the 1st round and DID not bring him in for a workout. For that reason alone he should be banned from Flowery Branch. Thanks for nothing, McKay.

That sounds to me in buisness lingo, I want a raise. So give me a different title and more cash and I will stay instead of trying to be a GM again for a different team. Mckay is good on the buisness side of it, I could see why arthur would keep him, because they don't have to show those salaries in the salary cap. Wink
