[Thomas Davis] Jerry Krause=Dave Gettleman


Jesse

Recommended Posts


For those unaware, the late Jerry Krause is not spoken of fondly by former player and coaches of the Chicago Bulls, where he was the general manager during the Bulls dynasty. 
 

I’m curious if this was specifically about the way he dealt Smith or if there were more behind the scenes.

I mean let’s be real here, coaching and organizational structure is definitely way more important than individual players, especially in football where there are over 22 players contributing to a team on a game to game basis. There’s a way to do it without pissing the players off and clearly DG (and Krause apparently) couldn’t do that, but that doesn’t mean the players should be running the show.

this is such a retarded take.  It was past time for Riverboat to hit the road

Sure it was. I wanted Ron gone as well but it just seems like Tepper is putting his nose way too deep in football decisions. The man has no clue about football. He’s a genius hedge fund billionaire, not genius football person. And, I don’t want to hear about how he was a minority owner of the Steelers. Some guys on this board know more about football than he does. Building a football team in the NFL isn’t the same as what he did to become a billionaire.

You have no idea what he knows or doesnt know about building a franchise

Tepper is the type of guy that will draft who ever he likes just like Dan Snyder who traded up for RG3 and took Haskins last year. The team led by a 60mil college HC and a bunch of college ex Baylor staffs. Tepper said on All or Nothing that you need a good QB. What does he go and do? Sign Teddy Bridgewater. I bet that sooner than later, we’ll start hearing former players talk negatively about Tepper like they are with Dave Gettleman. Why do you think that Luke decided to leave?

    • Ok fair to judge only his starts.  But you do acknowledge that going from "he's waaaay above league average in a number of categories" to "here's a single stat where he's above league average (not "waaaay") and another where he is exactly at the league average" is a pretty significant backpedal, no?  I'm guessing he's probably in the ~10th range for completion percentage too if we're only looking at starts (I'm too lazy to isolate his starts and do the calculations), so I'll grant you that one too.  But I don't think completion percentage is all that meaningful as a standalone stat if it isn't bolstered by good TD%, Y/A, etc. On that note, for how much people like posting Passing Charts in here (*cough* CRA) - if you peep Shough's passing charts, he hasn't completed a single 20+ yard pass in the past 3 games combined.  His last one was in Week 13 against the Dolphins, which was a single pass of 24 yards.  I just want to be consistent in how we apply our standards - I think it's always been warranted to criticize Bryce for it (even dating back to his rookie season), but do we suddenly not care about that with Shough? And yeah I did acknowledge that Saints' fans have reason to be excited about him and complimented his poise, which is giving my props.  Still not sure I agree that he looks better than a "ton" of QBs nor do I think you or anyone have really demonstrated that.  I think you are generally one of the more reasonable level-headed posters which is why I'm confused at what I consider to be rather hyperbolic language about Shough.
    • I don't disagree with you, but want to point out that Tremble's strong suit has always been blocking. Case and point: on Horn's 25 yard run, he lays down not 1 but 2 nice blocks...and is looking for #3! https://www.panthers.com/video/jimmy-horn-jr-s-25-yard-run-gives-panthers-red-zone-access-on-first-drive
    • It is a popularity contest.  The selection does have meaning though. It is also 1 of the criteria that is considered for the HOF. The game does not have any significance. The team hasn't been to the playoffs in nearly a decade. That's why they don't get primetime national coverage. To the victors go the spoils.
