when it comes to acquiring personnel. I am still of the believe that giving up a huge number of draft choices to acquire Goff was not something Fisher wanted to do. It's my opinion that was a decision that came from above. Nevertheless I believe he came around when it became obvious to him that this is what SK and Demoff wanted. I have no way of supporting this opinion but in my mind it makes the most sense. Maybe Fish will write a book on this someday. Maybe not.
Fair enough. Although I don't think we see this that much differently.
It's very plausible that the order to make a huge splash by trading for a franchise QB came from up top. Personally, I lay it more at the feet of Kroenke. But even if it did, I think that circumstance was unusual and the exception.
The general rule for personnel was that Fisher was the man.
