Well, we've centered this entire discussion around the assumption that Grier was responsible for the draft picks going back to 2016. That's why I said we'd start wherever anyone wanted to start at. Because nobody here knows where to really start at. Everybody is going to start at whatever point they feel is going to help them feel better about this guy.
The only known FACT, is that Grier has had his hands in the mess the Dolphins are since the beginning. Except he's somehow managed to dodge all the culpability. Yet, somehow still getting credit at the same time.
My point remains consistent no matter where you want to start at.
I get your point. And I hope you get mine. I don't believe the folks on this board are privy to the
absolute decision making process that was in place prior to Grier becoming GM. The TBum factor
was definitely involved -- and I don't preclude Ross chiming in, or whatever.
But that was then and this is NOW. Chris Grier needs to be evaluated based on his GM position
where he is certifiably the MAN responsible for everything you seemingly want to hold him accountable
for before he WAS GM.
It's that simple.
I get it. You don't believe he's up to the job.
I'm more optimistic and believe he has the right to prove his value as a GM (along with
ALL the responsibility/accountability). But I also know he's NOT going to be prefect.
And its too easy to just cherry pick the "facts" and thus discredit the man based on
"evidence" that is far from clear... Like it or not we (the Fan base) have to let this process
play out and... refer to the results in Y2 and Y3.
If we're obviously spinning our wheels I can guarantee you Grier and Ross and whoever
will be chased out of town. At least metaphorically!
