talent evaluation by the talentless

The thing with NFL management is that it’s kind of a closed circle.  Once you get into the room you’re a part of the club.  And they grow their talent from within.  Name me a single GM who was hired from an organization outside the NFL?

The problem with any closed club though, is they typically contain a bunch of weirdos.  Any open organization tends to weed out the weirdos and replace them with normal / competent people.  But that’s not the NFL.

And so that’s how you get weirdos like Bruce Allen (a dude who can’t even correctly pronounce the first name of the most important player on his team) wielding total power of an NFL franchise.

In most other organizations Allen would not exist.  He’d be fired or drummed out.  But in the closed circle of NFL organization, he makes sense.  It’s talent evaluation by the talentless.

I guess Daniel Snyder wants to lose?  I can’t think of any other reasonable explanation for all the recent Redskins drama.  That is, unless Snyder is a talentless hack too?  Hmm.
