Gone are the days of vision, philosophy …etc. the only thing that matters is Win.big markets suffer the most from this problem. Win or get eaten by the media/fans.
I have no problem with former executives opining. What I can't stand is when do the whole 'You can't disagree with me! I'm a former executive. Who are you?' routine.
BBV - Ex-GM says the Giants could be a train wreck
As for the 'train wreck' post from US1Giants...I can see the 'train wreck' happening Week 1 if we lose to the Vikes & JJ is the Vikes starting QB, however unlikely that might be on 7/5.
it's entertainment, and hey theres only so many executive roles in the NFL. Their opinion is not the end all be all. This can be applied to any discussion about any topic really.
But you can also pretty easily spot the guys who are doing it for spite and clicks, like Marc Ross and Mike Lombardi. I routinely tune out those type of talking heads.
RE: BBV - Ex-GM says the Giants could be a train wreck
That seems like a critical opinion by a former executive. Ex-GM: ‘Train wreck’ could be coming if Giants start slowly - ( New Window )
Did you actually read the article?
His potential train wreck would be after another shitty season.
Diamond, though, is not expecting that train wreck. While many analysts think the Giants have one of the league’s weakest rosters, Diamond said “I really don’t.”
“I think there’s a lot of really good players on that roster,” Diamond said.
The worst failed GM in football knows more about the game, how it works and the behind the scenes stuff than "Joe Schmo" fan on any forum, and 10000% more than anyone on this particular forum. It's disrespectful and just dumb to think overwise.

In less strong words I was going to make that point.
It’s also true that they need to earn a living and some write incendiary stuff to get clicks. And since it’s all about the clicks, the site paying them probably wants them to play up their resume.

If the question was about how the game works that would be one thing. However, when failed GM’s are giving personnel opinions they are not better than “Joe Schmo” fan on any forum.

I'm pretty certain no one on this site thinks the worst failed GMs know 1000% more than anyone on this forum.
So many of these ex executives get on the media wheel to try to get back in the league in some capacity. Something 2x SB champion GM Jerry Reese never felt the need to do.

But in all businesses, not just football, a lot of analysts were former execs who failed. Some quite profoundly
I hate the un-named executives offering their criticism
opinion like anyone else.
Is Belichick full of shit too?...

Fuking hilarious.

You can sleep easy, no one thinks that.
Don’t paint all the former execs with one, broad brush.
What if he was good on TV?
Also wouldn't give a shit about anything Matt Millen ever says, but he was a horrid GM, but at least a good player.
Respect is earned. I've always found Pat Kirwan insightful. Charlie Casserly, too.
