Correct, but he also means that Andy had a chance to 'save' Dorsey and he didn't. I'm not sure why so many people around here keep denying that Reid had at least some part in Dorsey being fired. Hunt is not the kind of owner who fires a GM without consulting people about it. Jerry Jones would do that but not Hunt. Andy Reid was ok, if not happy, about Dorsey getting fired.

Belichick is most certainly an excellent HOF coach but it sure doesn't hurt to have Tom Brady as your QB. |

He has kept the Steelers relevant. But I'm not arguing just throwing darts that it is hard to find 5 better coaches than Andy Reid however Andy Reid is flustrating on game day. |

He supposed to be yet if Mahomes doesn't work out Dorsey will get the blame, not Reid. Suddenly everyone will be saying that Dorsey went rogue and drafted Mahomes without anyone's permission or approval. Dorsey drafted a QB that sucks and Reid was handcuffed by a shitty QB. Everyone is all in on Reid being the golden boy who is the victim of everyone around him. Chiefs fans don't have much choice because Reid is all they have left. Clark Hunt just fired the man who built this team.
All I know is the with a friend like Reid, who needs enemies. |

The video shown on draft night disputes your entire premise. The fact that John Dorsey admitted that he had to ask permission before making the trade to select Mahomes disputes your entire premise. Kindly, go away. |

He has evolved from a conservative game manager, and credit for that evolution has to be given to Belichik and his staff. Brady is one of the greatest ever, in large part, because of Belichik, while Belichik is the greatest ever, in some part, because of Brady. |

I think it's a symbiotic relationship. Brady obviously decided that he wanted to be great, so he's gone to extreme measures to make it happen.
What will be interesting to watch is Belichick post Brady. Bill Walsh went back to Stanford and had zero success. George Siefert had the benefit of Joe Montana and Steve Young but in Carolina, had zero success. Forrest Gregg had Ken Anderson in Cincy, then did nothing in Green Bay. Same for Sam Wyche in Cincy (Boomer), then nothing in Tampa. There's a pretty long list of coaches that won or participated in Super Bowls with HOF QB's, then had little success without one. I suspect that Belichick won't put himself in that position but time will tell. |

Well that is also on coaching because that should have been instilled in Alex Smith to make those shots when it matters in big games. He did not and that is Andy Reid hand picked quarterback. Now I'm more excited and hopeful that Mahomes II will indeed execute when it is his time to shine with Andy Reid.

Why, when it's pointed out that Andy has a losing record in the postseason, has lost 5 of his last 6, and is 11th out of 16 among active coaches in playoff win percentage, do we retreat to something like "better"?
Better at what? Winning in the regular season? So what? I'd draw one from the deck if you gave me my choice, because if you aren't good enough to win in the postseason we need to move on from you. That applies to head coaches just as much as it does to quarterbacks. |

Who among them has he ever hit on as a potential franchise QB, or developed into more than a JAG? |

I am not an Andy Reid fan, and wasn't happy when he was hired because of his flaws. I would rather have taken a chance with an unknown. But the fact is, almost every coach has their flaws that cost them at time, and some have QBs that mask their deficiencies. Andy Reid with Aaron Rodgers would be considered a genius. |
