Sporting News Lists 7 GM Candidates, Including Agent89

I know Smitty isn't realistic but the rest of the list is pretty good and in line with what we've been hearing.

Steve Smith, former Panthers wide receiver

What? OK, this is a complete long shot, but not one totally out of the Carolina blue given what John Elway has done and what John Lynch can do.

When it comes to knowledge of the game and its players, Smith has it and has shown it quickly in retirement as an NFL Network analyst. Owner Jerry Richardson has done crazier things ... like firing his GM right before training camp.

He's young, he has history with the team, he's helped put together a strong contender for the AFC South in Tennessee... I wouldn't hate it. 

Tennessee has done a good job of building around Mariota as well. 

Both tackle spots locked up for a long time  (Lewan/Conklin) and addressed both WR spots this offseason as well (Davis/Decker). 

Both positions which we lack greatly in Tennessee has clearly stressed the importance of.

After reading nothing but the small blurb in the article on the subject, he is now my first choice as the future GM and I will be upset if we go another direction.

LOL. 

Seriously, I think it would make for possibly the most interesting story, particularly Gruden. Either one could develop into one of the more dicisively master strokes in all of sports, or the most colossal train wreck. Riverboat Richardson!

    • As far as elite/elevate talent QB’s It’s Allen Mahomes Jackson and Burrow that’s it.  Then we have tiers and those can be debated all day Dak is a good QB but I know this board would want him out of Charlotte if he was the QB here. 2 playoff wins in 10 years. Justin Herbert no playoff wins. Threw 4 interceptions in last years playoff game. 23 TD passes last year. 20 the year below and 25 the year before that. This board loves stats without context and these stats aren’t saying they’re much above complimentary  Kyler Murray isn’t good. I’m not sure how he made this list.  Caleb Williams, Trevor Lawrence both benefiting from some real good offensive coaches right now. They’re both complimentary pieces until proven otherwise  I like Jordan Love. Always have. I wanted to draft him but he isn’t a superstar.  CJ Stroud hasn’t been much better than Bryce after his rookie season. After that Bears game year 2 his numbers very similar to Bryce I will say I think Drake Maye is well on his way to becoming the next top tier QB if I had to pick one from this entire list. I’d also say Baker Mayfield is a damn good QB and I’d take him over most of those guys not in the elite category  Now if you want to debate tools and which QB’s possess tools to put them in higher tiers that’s a completely different discussion. Most QB’s on your main list all have those physical tools that will keep you thinking he’ll become the next top tier QB. They’ll sprinkle in a “wow” play or two a game. Bryce will never look that way. Young’s game at its peak will physically always look different and I think that’s where most people struggle when it comes to seeing how Young’s can be successful in the league  All QB’s need a team around them. I think the Bills are failing Josh Allen much like the Panthers did Cam. Beane and McDermott using same blueprint with Bills team. Josh Allen hasn’t had much in terms of WR’s and it’s ultimately costing them when it matters the most
