Come on, man.  Just enjoy the suck.  Believe it or not, I'm not trying to [BLEEP] around with you.  I'm just here as a die hard jag fan.

Maybe the difference is I've been in Pederson's shoes professionally. I've been in the position of having people work for me that just couldn't do their jobs but I was stuck with them because of corporate bull [BLEEP]. My evaluation was defendant on their ability to not [BLEEP] it up, and that's hard to accept, especially when the buck is supposed to stop with you but you don't have authority to  actually do any more to make it work. Then everyone blames you for the shortcomings of people you couldn't get rid of. Do you really think Doug Pederson wanted Gabe Davis to be his #2 receiver? I don't', I think he was a good soldier and said all the right things about a guy he knew wasn't going to help this team. The people get all pissed at Doug that Davis can't catch a cold in the dead of winter. Like that [BLEEP] is his fault

Pederson should be fired, I'm ok with that. What I'm not ok with is the idea that Pederson is the reason this team is [BLEEP]. It won't be better next year if the front office is the same.

Believe it or not, I've also been a manager.  I've taken trash employees and made them competent.  It takes passion to turn around a bad batch.  Not only that, it takes hard work.  Doug doesn't do that.

We're probably about the same age.  I've worked my [BLEEP] off to make sure things ran correctly.  And when things fell short, I made sure to figure out if I was the problem or if there were other issues.  Usually, I would take the blame, even when the employees were not up to snuff.  And then I would make sure to train those I had confidence in, and the other's I would write up.  I'd give them warnings that they needed to do better.  But that's business.  Additionally, you have to delegate responsibility.   But you only do that when you know that the person you give power to is competent.  When things go sideways, you have to re-evaluate your management style.

You talk to folks on this board like we're a bunch of morons.  You forget that most of us here are just as professional as you are.
