middlegatv Posted February 5, 2016 Share Posted February 5, 2016 (edited) My impressions: 1- supported Dimitroff and threw Mike Smith and scouting department under the bus. 2- Blank doesn't tie next season's record to success of PSL sales. 3 - believes most all Falcon fans are optimistic on direction of team.

atljbo Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 See.. I dont think its throwing Smitty under the bus... The man was in the room for those meetings... He knew what Smitty ask for .. If you want to blame TD for some drafts and FA... I undertsnad but if the guy was getting what Smitty asked for... Then thats on Smitty to and even more because its his quote on quote groceries I get some of you dont like TD... Ive even said we needed to change GM's in the offseason... But sitting here saying Arthur Blank is throwing ppl under the bus is crazy to me. Ppl ask the man why he did this or that and when he try to explain in the most respectful way.. You dont like his answer because its not killing TD Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lornoth Posted February 6, 2016 Share Posted February 6, 2016 Is there a reason Blank would support TD and 'Throw Smith under the bus"? Everybody seems to say this, but I'd guess Blank would know better than most other people how much affect each of those two has had on our team.

This is why I have lost all confidence in Blank as the owner. Supports Dimitroff who hired Smith and the entire scouting department, yet fails to connect the dots.

Don't rewrite Smith's overall success or Blank and TD's role in it. I suffered through Rankin Smith for over 30 years and I recognize the difference between competence and absolutely failing before taking the field. Smith was a great hire but he couldn't constantly improve, so he was justly fired. Contrary to popular opinion, we actually improved last season so Blank has a right to feel confident in TD.
