Business is business with Gettleman

I think that's how you have to do it.

Emotions lead to decisions like giving an aging quarterback who's just had an awful playoff game a big extension because he was good in the past.

Without question.  

I dont think Hurney was emotional with Jake, but reactionary to the stunning loss and grasping for a way to calm the storm of pissed off Panther fans.

Obviously that man was reaching into his anus to try to find the pulse of the people but we all know he's an idiot.

I get the sense nipple shorts is frustrated with Norman not signing his tender. I would not be surprised if he put a trade together since josh is trying to collect a kings ransom from 1 productive season. I think we would benefit trading him as much as love him as a panther.

I saw that segment. After he said that kids are not fundementaly sound anymore. He was asked why. He looked at Polian, and they both said at the same time. "The 20 hour rule". College's don't have the time anymore to devote to fundamentals. So when kids finally get to the pros. Most of them need a lot of teaching.

Translation: we finally have a GM that can run the most basic of NPV calculations instead of blindly throwing darts at a board.

 

I swear, organized sports have to be last vestige of cronyism/nepotism that existed in big business.  Could you imagine what would happen to a product-line VP at Visa if he approved a six-year, $72MM co-brand agreement with Cabo Fish Taco because a friend owns it?  Sports GMs do this kinda crap all the time and get away with it regardless of team performance because of their built-in network of protection.  GMan finally doing things right.

what is 'cronyism'?

Someone mentioned packaging something together with the Browns so that we end up with Haden somehow. That would probably be the only trade I would be fine with. Haden is younger and has been doing what Josh did last season ever since his rookie year in 2010.

Being the GM you are and making the decisions you do are also a product of how your boss, the owner(s), view the process. Gettleman, who I love as our GM, is lucky to have JR as his team's owner. As comparison, there are owners like Blank, Snyder, Jones, DeBartolo family that can't keep from getting into team business. 

And Richardson has changed. I think Hurney suffered from a time in our history when JR more or less dictated how things were going to go & there was no discussion. I think of it as the pie chart era.

Haha.  If that were only the case.

I like the sound of that but do you think that expanding the trade to include Joe Thomas makes sense? I saw somewhere that the GM of the Browns has denied wanting to trade Thomas but they were in discussion last year with the Broncos on a possible trade...
