Back to football... is T-Will going to get suspended after his best camp ever?

i did answer the question. You asked what I'd do. I told you what I'd do. I guess I need to spell out what "on my team, we stand for the anthem", but that means, on my team if you want to play, you stand. Would go for everyone.
I think Jerry's missteps involve talking about it publicly more than necessary vs. shutting down these media idiots. His policy is fine.
Agree completely that it's more complicated than saying 'you kneel, you sit'.DannyDuberstein said:
Here's the thing- it's just more complicated than that. Jerry builds great relationships with his players, particularly his star QBs. Which that comes with other downsides, but it's not just dumb luck that they haven't had guys kneeling. He talks to his guys, gains their respect, works out other options, and avoids it coming to that. If it did, at this point; I'll take them at their word.

Love all the posts about how he builds a family atmosphere but what about winning?
Bottom 3 GM in the NFL. Haven't made it out of the divisional round in the last 23 seasons.

You can't be the "best owner" when you keep the bad GM so long
Best businessman I will give him
Yes, that's the definition I was using. One of the top sports franchises in the world.BMX Bandit said:

I've always gotten the sense that Stephen will hire a GM. I've got no insider knowledge, but it feels and looks like Will McClay has been given a verbal "you're the guy when Jerry steps down" agreement. He's turned down at least one GM job already and they pretty much already pay him like a GM I believe.
I think he's just waiting his turn.
Based on how we've seen the team operate, it doesn't matter who holds the GM title. Fans make too much of it. The reality is the owners are going to stay involved no matter what. The question is who do they lean on to make actual decisions? Stephen may be arrogant but he's also smart enough to fork over the cash to Mclay so he'll stay.Orlando Ayala Cant Read said:jr15aggie said:

Posted it before, but from someone I know in the league...
While Stephens football acumen is more respected around the league than Jerrys hes also apparently really arrogant and set in his own ways. Arrogant enough to wana be GM? Idk. Fact is while its up to interpretation i guess for some Stephen having supposedly more say in recent years hasn't brought much more success on the field than his dad.

David Moore's post today made it sound like either the defense is going to be lights out or the offense is struggling mightily. Dak is not having a good camp so far, it seems.

this offense is going to struggle. arguably the worst WR situation in the league and almost certainly the worst TE group. they're not going to be real difficult to defend.
