when it comes to the draft yes...but in FA i think his input could be of real value. MM watches tons of game tape and he sees, has to game plan, against all those guys. it's his team. other than the money side, i think MM's opinion should carry the most weight.
There is a difference between evaluating game tape for game planning and for personnel evaluation. McCarthy does the former, not the latter.
His input on his roster and position needs should carry weight, but never be the final decision by itself.
Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.
