The Case Against Eliot Wolf

[Aussie Patriot]

It's sad to say but we are the laughing stock of the league tbh and it's mostly the Krafts fault. Not because they are cheap, although they are, but because they thought they could put a crapload of rookies into coaching positions and do ok IN THE FRIGGEN NFL.

They are supposed to be astute businessmen but tbh have acted like the amateurs they put in these positions.

It's hard enough to succeed in the NFL when you have experienced coaches and quality players yet they thought we could do ok with with rookies in most important roles and a crap squad.

I have to fess up here and say i liked the Polk pick at the time based on what he did at Washington. He was a tough, courageous team player who never dropped a catch. He is a shadow of his former self.

Anyway, Robert needs to suck up his pride and come out and announce that he made a mistake and Mayo and others weren't ready for their chance yet, blow up the joint and bring in proven or very highly rated people to do the most important jobs. He then needs to give them the resources they need to what they need to do and maybe then we can start to have confidence that we are on the right track because atm we are a fricken joke.

Polk may still pan out.

Boutte has made the case to be back in 25 for me.

How do you fire Wolf when he has been scouting for the 2025 draft all this season?

Do you fire him and bring in someone new starting over?

Doesn't this happen all the time?

Sure, the Browns and Jets change like the weather.

How has it worked for the Chargers and Commanders this year?

 

[Huckleberry1]

Agreed, that dumbass hired Wolf, Groh and Mayo. All evidence of BB must go.

Look at it this way, if he hadn’t hired them his sycophants would have to find someone else to blame his bad decisions on. He gets full credit for all of his good ones.

You keep him through the draft.

Bill did that with Notorious Bobby I Grier

While I get it that BB cast a long shadow, we need leadership, coaching, front office and ownership, that feels responsibility for the product on the field and is accountable for the results. Only the worst run teams draft in the top 5 two years in a row. If nothing changes, next year will be three years. Mean Bill is gone and the team has a franchise QB, it is time for everyone to focus on the here and now.

I used to curse when Bobby made picks...and I was using PAPER publications for information at that time.
He pissed me off.

Bill was a leader. The problem is Kraft kept his lieutenants and no one has stepped up nor did Kraft have a plan to plug in a leader. Idiot.

That describes what we need in a nutshell.

We don't need to fire Wolf. He needs a boss.

It's not whether Wolf should stay or go. It's whether Wolf has shown enough to be promoted to be leader of the organization, because he obviously is not. He has been given by title and responsibilities, nothing more than intern general manager status.

This is an easy fix.

He admits he made mistakes. He fell asleep at the wheel.

He deserves a chance to correct this.

In a week, you may call him an idiot.

Christ he was brutal. Both in the draft and FA.

Fair enough. Let's see what he does.

Krafty didn't give him "GM" on purpose, because he would have had to do that Rooney Rule ********.
That wasn't a miss, it was done on purpose.

 

[Family]

Fair enough. Let's see what he does.

What we do know is they spent little money over the off-season except to swing for what they saw as a home run.

Was Wolf on a leash as to spending, unless the Kraft's thought it was a real move?

Were the parameters, "ok let's give them a chance and see what this group can do with a limited budget, so they don't completely mess up our possible next move." But if real talent comes along, let's see if they can bring it in, even overspending.

That would be more shrewd than we give the Kraft's, credit for.

But we can only think they are cheap.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

How do you fire Wolf when he has been scouting for the 2025 draft all this season?

Do you fire him and bring in someone new starting over?

Yes, and no reason to bring in someone new. Just pick from the ESPN best players available list on the TV screen. We would have a much stronger team if we did that the last 5 years. Not a joke.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

Krafty didn't give him "GM" on purpose, because he would have had to do that Rooney Rule ********.
That wasn't a miss, it was done on purpose.

And it would have cost Kraft more money.

 

[One-If-By-Sea]

But we can only think they are cheap.

We think they are cheap because they had the least cash spend of any NFL team over the last 10 years. When someone spends less than their 31 other peers, people call that cheap. You can call it historically cheap. Call it what you like, but don't pretend it is shrewd.
