If so, I may have to amend some of my previous posts about him...nothing personal with him, as I understand being under Snyder wasn't going to be good for him anyway...it's just his history of screwing up PR issues was grating...and it's possible that's a duty that Snyder shoved off on him without Wright being prepared. TK confirmed it in one of the threads when it happened. It changed my opinion of him very, very much. We may be only a pocket of fans, but he's looking out for us. If he stays with the team, I won't be disappointed. Β Β Β On 11/8/2023 at 5:24 PM, TK said: Not really sure if Harris/Magic get the credit. Calling Magic out on Twitter/X whatever was a βVoice of the Voicelessβ move for the entire 20+ year community thatβs been built here.Β Β But Iβll say this, while heβs been blamed for a lot of screwups under Dan, Jason Wright actually at one point offered to pay the server bill out of his own pocket.Β Β THATS a move to get the fan base (at least here) back.Β Β Props & respect to him for that.Β Β Edited January 8 by NickyJ 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Professor_Nutter_Butter Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Having Rivera also give a statement is how you really prop up a team that's been worse than bad for decades.

Mr. Evans is probably smart enough to know that his expertise is not in identifying potential players as opposed to identifying strong leaders with good organization skills and strong character. In other words, can he find winners to put in the front office that translates to winning games on the field? That's what Harris is banking on for sure.Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dckey Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I think people are getting misunderstood by what they're doing.Β What I think is the best thing about what they're doing is creating a model with a President of Football Operations/GM.Β You have some organizations like the 49ers Lynch and Ravens that describes they're organization this way.Β Β Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veretax Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 Wanted to post this separately. BTW While listening to Josh Harris on Audacy, and can I just say, that at tims he stammered a bit, some uhms fo rexample, but man, even if he's a little uncomfortable, he's so much more well thought and spoken than Snyder EVER was. He may not like being the center of attention but appreciates the solem nature of this and the importance, and significance of this to the entire Nation here. I think we are blessed to have an ownership group that includes him. 2 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
