"I always take more draft picks if we can get them.?"

What? Since when?

 

[kcirdor]

Yeah, that says more about the level of the fans who post on here now. It's not the same as it used to be.

Umm... unless its a bunch of "joined in 2020" or later... its the same posters.

 

[Snakehead]

That was a really good press conference. It looks like we are headed in the right direction. He answered every question with good answers.

That was much better than last year. There was a little more humility in there. While he didn't throw himself under the bus he did admit to maybe not doing everything that was needed for the team to be successful over the last few years. He's a bit stubborn when it comes to his perception of the current state of the team, but I think it's natural to be at least a little defensive.

There are, but there are a lot who don't post anymore as well.

Either way, it doesn't bother me. I like the way ahead ML provided.

"We're still close"

Well, that's his glass half full thing. It's a caveat, but I'm fine with the answer.

Yes it was. Last year he sounded very arrogant.

I hear it.

My conclusion is that Mickey says they are going to continue in the same path, and don't see any problem doing so.

So frustrating to hear low-ball questions. The results since Drew left speak about the reality of the organization, and nothing changes around.

No accountability.

Yep, the biggest takeaway for me is that the front office remains "as is" and nobody feels the need to change course.

It takes a leader (Mrs. Benson) to others accountable if they wont hold themselves accountable. If you have a room full of yes-men you are headed toward a disaster. I am not saying that's the situation but, possibly. Self evaluation is always hard, and being honest with yourself and personally I think we should ALL do that once a year for ourselves, it makes you a better person.
