[QUOTE="Mondio, post: 652719, member: 10441"] It's ALL ****ing EGO, every last one of them. Trust me, you'll never go anywhere, other than by dumb freaking luck in life, if you don't trust in what you're doing or believe in it. He signs FA, he has singed big FA's, he has signed 2nd tier FA's, he has brought in more UDFA than any of us can remember. You know what Ted's EGO makes him do? Trust in his decisions. It makes him evaluate talent, put a value on it and then see how that is going to affect the rest of the team and the 10,000 other variables it affects from team chemistry to salary cap. If he can get a deal done, he does. If he can't, he moves on and continues to put strong teams on the field along with everyone else involved. Not that I think belief, ego, confidence, experience, etc are all separate, but I tend to think Ted makes decisions more based on things I would call, experience and belief than "ego", but to each his own. This isn't Ted not every signing any FA's because we all want him to and he wants to prove to us he knows better just out of spite. I tend to think he's smarter than that. Those people don't accomplish jack squat in life either, and he obviously has in a venue he's dedicated most of his life too. [/QUOTE]
