You seriously doubt CK really believes his own Tweet? WTF? He is not wont to post silliness just for the hell of it. I think you can rest assured he was sincere with his Tweet. He is definitely not clueless. As for whatever most here believe on the subject, that is proof of nothing. Remember what Bertrand Russell said about majority opinions.
“The fact that an opinion has been widely held is no evidence whatever that it is not utterly absurd; indeed in view of the silliness of the majority of mankind, a widely spread belief is more likely to be foolish than sensible.”
First, I may have figured something out > Cris Koufmann is CK?
I have great respect for CK. Knowledgeable and even handed. Nonetheless, I disagree Grier or any GM unilaterally making draft picks against the desires of the HC. Grier doesn't make his board or make picks in a closet. NO chance. And no GM wants to be in a meeting with the owner and HC:
Mcd: Yes, Mr Ross, we played poorly, but remember, I, the coordinators, position coaches and scouts wanted Peyton Manning, but Mr. Grier, on his own, picked Iggy. How can I be held accountable for that pick?
Ross: OK, Cris, that's the same reason Gase and Flo gave and the outcomes are consistent. Explain to me how your pick was seen as better than the pick of the entire organization.
No chance. Anyone claiming a GM, by himself, makes draft picks is not understanding the dynamics.
