Renegade7 Posted October 15, 2021 Author Share Posted October 15, 2021 To stay on topic, Bruce would've signed off on the last minute number retirement as well to keep Snyder happy, so comparing him to Jason is a waste of time. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If McVay didn’t have a grandfather working for the 49ers he would be a supervisor at the Safeway as well. This is a league full of nepotism. 1 minute ago, Renegade7 said: To stay on topic, Bruce would've signed off on the last minute number retirement as well to keep Snyder happy, so comparing him to Jason is a waste of time. Absolutely but he would have told a better lie. Jason got caught lying and doubled down like an amateur. This role is not for him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is an incompetent scumbag, but he has heart for his players and football and would have been able to talk Dan out of something this bad. Wright just became the yes man. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Perhaps that's possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dude he is not in the same role. Martin Mathew, Hurney and Rivera have that role to put out the fire . Bruce was doing Dan’s bidding both on the player personnel and in the business side. Jason is doing Dan’s bidding on the business side alone. Fedex field is not empty because of Bruce Allen it’s empty because of Dan. Let’s be realistic about that.

Perhaps that's possible. I’m not defending Bruce. But let’s be realistic about who he was and who Jason is. They are Dan’s puppets with different levels of responsibility. And if Bruce schmoozed his way to that award it shows how connected he was in this small club of executives and owners.

RichmondRedskin88 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I think it’s fair to wonder why Wright was considered qualified for president. Unless I’m mistaken he had no FO experience. That’s a strange thing tbh. NFL is a very unique structure to not have any experience. Obviously BA had all the experience but was a total scumbag.

I mean, this is no different than what George Preston Marshall was doing the last 25 years or so he oversaw the franchise. After Ray Flaherty left to go fight in the war, he hired a slew of Yes Men to manage the team. They were able to ger along fine the first few years since Sammy Baugh had a war time exemption and the team had a lot talent elsewhere but after Baugh started getting up there in age and Marshall refused to integrate the team, the play seriously declined and the team's attendance and finances slipped. He almost sold the franchise in the late 50s. Flaherty was one of the few men who could tell Marshall "no" and after he left, he made sure to hire folks who couldn't. That mean retreads and ex-jocks like Curly Lambeau and Otto Graham. We're seeing something very similar here. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dyst Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I like Jason Wright but guys like him, Ron Rivera, Julie Donaldson etc probably never make it here of not for the investigation. I am glad they got an opportunity but Snyder is scummy and not for noble reasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ve yet to be impressed with the new FO folks. Unless they are being handcuffed in their roles I’m not even slightly impressed. This is typival snyderism, hiring and using someone with a good background to divert attention from his wrongdoings, and others as a shield/fuse. They are all tools and expendables. The most competent people will never work for him, the good ones we had have already left. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CjSuAvE22 Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 I don't think the new regime and people in charge of the "rebrand" care much for the old fans that put in time and effort toward this football team the past 35 years which is probably 90 percent of the people on here which is why they scrapped together a plan to Retire Sean Taylor, which should have been something more thought out and of importance...they honestly should just scrap the whole thing change the colors too because I don't know why they would keep the colors, as a fan since I was 4 years old not old enough to remember the last super bowl win...the colors are the last reason of why I support this franchise they aint gonna keep me around by keeping the colors...

purbeast Posted October 15, 2021 Share Posted October 15, 2021 What they should do at this point is cancel the whole thing this year. And then they should reschedule it for NEXT year, November 27th, 2022, on the 15 year anniversary of his death, which is a Sunday so they will be playing a game. And the NFL can help em out and make it a game against the Cowboys. I know that is the day because my birthday is November 27th, and every year it sucks to go back to that day when I read all the tributes and stuff about him. I remember hearing that news on my birthday way back then and just felt completely down on a day I should be happy from all the love I was getting. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buffalo opened the game by running to Taylor’s side when we played with 10 then took that back to back TO penalty at the end to set up their FG. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
