Coming at this like a lawyer trying to find the right business move while your friends are drug through the mud is... Well, good business. That's all I can really say about it.
He didn't have to come out and say he believes their innocence outright. It probably would have been nice to hear him make some kind of comment about taking every rumored report with a grain of salt, or to wait for official reports from the NFL before drawing any conclusions.
He's a great owner. He's also a gutless, freaking eunuch...
It's a fair question. I know I've criticized Bob Kraft for choosing to not publicly defend his team at times. I do think he's a very good owner because he's learned not to be meddlesome (it wasn't always that way), he provides his players and other employees with state-of-the art facilities and resources and he rose early on to a position of prominence and influence among his peers. There's no other owner I'd want, but I don't think that makes him immune from criticism.Apart from the charities/community outreach what makes Kraft a good owner?
He is rising the coattails of BB (coach and GM) and TB. Didnt have to do a single really hard decision since shutting up when BB chose Brady over Bledsoe. Thanks to BB essentially everything runs on autopilot anyway.
I am not trying to troll at all but I somehow fail to see what it is that makes him "great". Am I missing something obvious?

I think you have it backwards. Kraft without his late wife is a coward who sometimes looks like a good owner because he hired BB.I take providing state of the art facilities etc. as a given. I mean everyone really does it.
In any case, the more interesting question is if him not meddling is not just a result of the continuous success that BB/TB have. If you go to the AFCCG more than every other year and to the SB every third (?) there is no inclination to meddle. Asked differently I wonder how different Jerry Jones would behave in Kraft's shoes.
The one instance I forgot before that showed his trust into letting BB do his thing early on was the Milloy situation. However this came after a SB.
All in all, I agree that he is a good owner that in some situations unfortunately looks like a coward.

He did support him by not terminating his employment.Bob Kraft learned his lesson well about meddling after the Bill Parcells fiasco. It remains to be seen whether he learned his lesson about not supporting his coach publicly after Spygate but the early returns from Deflategate are not looking promising.
