I feel like this is a case of a small time owner who wants the prestige of pro sports rather then getting some one big enough that they dont have to micro manage the team. Need more bob youngs and less of this junk. QFT At least Al Davis had some back ground in football. wbbfan and Bigblue204 2

mbrg Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 1 hour ago, Atomic said: Guzzo's response is even more telling. Claims he told Maciocia he could choose the 6 "primary important positions" but should prioritize QC university athletes for the rest. This guy would be a disaster as owner, I'm sure of it. Roster decisions based on uninformed and arbitrary criteria? Kavis Reed is intrigued... Wanna-B-Fanboy and Noeller 1 1

Fun fact: You don't know what their offer is or what kind of candidate they'll be until you've actually talked with them.

He was also a great owner for decades. Unfortunately, age is inexorable and people remember him for the last several years when he was not as sharp. Davis stood up to the NFL and the whole league became far better for it. GCJenks and wbbfan 2
Jpan85 Posted June 6, 2019 Report Posted June 6, 2019 Even before that he played college ball. wbbfan 1

No doubt, what davis did with the AFL, and the NFL merger was gigantic. He must be rolling around in his grave with a relocation still pending for (i think?) 2020 to vegas. However his micro managing and front office antics will live on in the greatest infamy. Like all historic greats, he deserves to be recognized for his fantastic contributions. But its equally important to keep the grain of salt in the forefront. Paul Brown has seen a kind of cleansing at the hands of history due to the effect of rose tinted glasses.

He was trying to move the team all the time to get money out of governments.

Atomic Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 Montreal's offence could surprise people this year if Pipkin works out. They have some good weapons.
JuranBoldenRules Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 Those new Als uniforms are a hideous rip-off of the University of Virginia's.

Brandon Posted June 7, 2019 Report Posted June 7, 2019 I'm not sure how much of his real life personality is true... but I watched Dragon's Den this season and Guzzo was an egotistical knob. The Mike Kelly of owners.... Tracker 1
