Art Rooney II Complaint Thread

Agree 100%.
I liked the Rams guys. but there is a huge risk with going that too. You could wind up 1-16 to 8-9 for say 3-years.
or the complete opposite.
It's a roll of the dice, McCarthy just seems like a safe roll.
I think you said it better than I did.

 

No need to be formal it’s a friendly group here

Feel free to call me jeh

The issue with Art is he has no backbone. He is third generation ownership. Everything has been handed to him. Similar to Davis from the Raiders in a lot of ways. He is afraid to make bold decisions. The organization as a result is directionless. His decisions are always the safe ones. Keeping Ben too long, keeping a Tomlin too long, allowing Tomlin to much power, always promoting from within whether it be assistant coaches or GM. Extending Watt. Finally hiring McCarthy. The list just goes on and on and on. I am hopeful the next generation is fa% enough removed that they will be bolder and desire to create their own path. Dangerous perhaps but at least not so limp twisted and predictable.

 

It’s funny a lot of businesses that are third generation run into that problem. The original owner had to struggle and likely take many risks to build something. The second generation saw the struggle and knows this wasn’t easy or handed over without hard work. The third generation grew up with a silver spoon and is too far removed to understand the struggle. They are lazy and spoiled.
