Either way good on Rick Smith for admitting the mistake this quick. Most NFL GMs choose to deny, deny, deny when they screw up. The downside of his admission is that only a GM with absolutely no job security concerns would publicly admit a mistake like this.

I said all along that BO was McNeck's decision. I'm not alone in thinking this but today's events provide further evidence that this is the case. More interestingly and more importantly they also indicate to me that BOB has, as he would say, juice within the organization. I would not have bet on that given his contract status and last season's leaks and the obvious personality mismatch between him and his owner.
