Acl injury really isn’t that serious in this day and age, at least as far as long term effects are concerned. Burrows injury was considerably worse and it’s not like Kyler is old.

All those dude’s dad’s had biz acumen, check the research. Cards have at least 3, if not 4, generations of living off of the franchise. I worked for the Cards for 4 seasons and know peeps that work there now. Believe me, I know.

Nah man... Mark Davis of the Raiders, Dean Spanos of the Chargers, Jim Irsay of the Colts all inherited everything they have from their fathers. Literally zero independent achievements in business. And their teams are all consistently garbage since they have established themselves as the leaders.

Fords who run the Lions inherited what they got from their freakin' great-grandfather... even worse. And there are plenty of other examples.

Meanwhile they are going up against dudes who personally made billions like Robert Kraft, Jeffrey Lurie and Stan Kroenke.

I’m almost 30 and they haven’t won one in my lifetime. It’s insane. It’s been 30 years with countless different coaches and players, and they’ve never even managed to be above average.

No one’s saying it wasn’t a smart move. But he did screw USC by accepting then taking the cardinals gig. And the comment wasn’t whether or not it was a smart move. It was to the fact that he seemed like a better coach than he was and is.

All the organizations/teams you mention have ownership that made money outside football, i.e. they have some sort of business savvy. The Bidwells do not, nor have they, had any business acumen, hence why they’ll never succeed much less have any lasting success.
