Funny how we criticize 22 year old kids for firing agents with millions of dollars on the line when none of us would call a 45 year old man a drama queen or immature for finding a new real estate agent if they felt an agent was not properly advertising their home.
I think the people criticizing these moves are doing so because it's laughable to think an agent has such an influence over the process. Like somehow he can talk one of these NFL GMs into taking a guy they don't want to take.
But of course being a bama guy you lemmings would probably defend him under any circumstance.

Of course, I could never see an agent making grandiose and exaggerated claims either. Feed them what the want to hear, assuage their egos, get paid and deal with it later.

I get that. The agent has little to do with draft position. But there is a lot that goes on with an agent relationship.

No need for this to be a flame thread, but your reputation for comments like this makes this expected.

If you don't think a good agent makes a difference you are even dumber than i thought you were. And believe me I already thought you were pretty dumb.

quote:I'll not defend his decision "IF" this is in fact the reason he fired his agent. It's his buisness who he employ's to work for him. Sounds ridiculous to fire an agent just because you weren't a top 5 pick.
