That's okay...we can disagree...Love your insights
if you talk to them see if they are sure about the dates. I have talked to people close to situations that can be off by a year or two
and perhaps this is case here.
What they say happened did happen ... Shaw took over, but 1981 is a big early. He was a beancounter then and got more power as time went on.
I spoke to DK about why he didn't trade for Fred Dean in 1981 and a few other things. I was very interesting in the Rams' downfall in 1981-82
and knew he was there but lost power in 1982. I am pretty confident he was still highly involved in 1981 and getting stabbed in the back at the same time
it was like a dimmer switch not a light switch where the lights were off ... his power dimished a little at a time.
As i said, pretty sure he as involved in the 1981 draft day trades and a little beyond. If I were to gues you sources may be a year off (or two)
