Again you don't have to be a scout as a GM or a cap specialist, or former football player or anything but a manager of people and personnel. He isn't doing this in a vacuum. Hire good people and let them do their job. What you value in a GM doesn't.make it a job requirement. Gettleman had that background but he missed on lots of folks.

So someone can be successful at a job despite never having experience at any of the important job duties?

Cool. I'm gonna go apply to be CEO of Microsoft.

Your lips keep proclaiming them as the superior choice but haven't really provided anything concrete but lip service.  You know why?  Because a lot of this stuff is subjective as hell.  

Look,  I'm not gonna cry either way.  I'm generally a proponent of starting fresh and anew when things are clearly not working, but I can't say that yet.  

Just like you were premature in your assessment of Ron Rivera being a bad coach,  you are jumping the gun a little now. 

You can compare their resumes to Marty Hurney's track record and say "there's no evidence they're more qualified"?

Oy...

I agree with you on how the KB thing was worded. It was awkward if not PC. That being said, what he should have said was that KB was not in our future plans and didn't mesh well with the vision that we have for our receiving corps.  He could have even mentioned "addition by subtraction," but that wouldn't  have been the most gracious way to talk about it. 

Again,  I'm not wasting time thinking about Butker.  Kickers come and go. I don't care about paying as long as it isn't overpaying. 

Hurney will have no choice but to overpay if he wants to keep Gano.  That's why they drafted Gano's replacement, that Hurney let walk out the door.

The KB trade should have happened prior to the season if anything thing they said was remotely true, but of course it's not.  It was a bad move and no amount of spin will take the smell off of it.  It sure helped them win the division and go deep into the playoffs didn't it?

The injuries to Samuel and Byrd likely spoiled any chance of us going deeper into the playoffs.  Come on,  man.

And we still gave the sumbitches a run for their money.

You should ask Gettleman.  

Gettlemen didn't trade KB so I'm not sure how you pin that on him?  Dave also drafted the best wr we've had since the Seifert era...and despite all the whining around here did address needs adequately enough to have the best winning record since inception under his watch.

Keep polishing that turd boys.

He played very well for us this season, he deserves to be paid. I think you guys have forgot what it was like post- Kasay until we landed Gano. Also I have no idea how people can think the Benjamin trade was bad.... The improvement in our offense after his departure was pretty significant. It was better to get something now rather than wait and get nothing when we didn't sign him to a new contract.

Yeah that logic paid off in the long run.

Well yeah, wr wasn’t a huge need when Hurney was GM.

I will say for a millionth time.  Rivera was the main reason for us winning. He won despite Gettleman,  not because of him.  Gettleman arguably made everyone's job tougher,  and Ron's most of all. 

 One of my gripes with Gettleman  was not signing enough depth in general, so my comment wasn't about KB. 

But this thread isn't about Gettleman, I just couldn't resist a little dig.

So he won despite Dave but couldn't do the same with Hurney?  Got it.

      I have no idea why you are so irrationally upset about the notion that going out and spending $150 million free agency dollars on two interior offensive linemen could be construed as a panic response after our #1 pick we traded a fortune for had one of the worst rookie seasons of the last 25 years. It is objectively what transpired. Dan Morgan as of right now is a mixed bag. Some really good some so so some not so good some bad some really bad. You take any rational criticism personally like you are related to him or something. That's something you'll have to figure out for yourself. Anyways. The predicament Dan Morgan finds himself in for this year will define his future as GM. I sincerely hope he navigates it to perfection. But the circumstances are largely of his own creation. And not just in his stint as GM but going back to his time as assistant GM. Which conveniently people like yourself don't like to talk about. That is the reality of the situation. I like how you will carry water for Dan Morgan to the point of getting into random spats with people but make no mention of Bryce Young's glaring limitations and shortcomings as a starting QB yet go out of your way to put the onus of our struggles squarely on Canales. I mean I've been quite critical of Canales too but he sure isn't the only one to blame for our problems.
