[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?

    • You're assuming just as well.   Morgan and Canales were hired 3 days apart.  I believe it was partially due to their connections in Seattle.  i believe Tepper wanted some familiarity with his GM and HC.  It is so easy to sit back and arm-chair QB over draft picks.  You don't know what the philosophy was going into the 2024 draft.  I believe Canales and Morgan were drafting for the future.  XL and Brooks point to that philosophy. Name me one GM that is 100% on draft picks.  Just one.  You're not going to find one.    I think year one picks weren't for what can you do for me now but Potential.   XL hasn't lived up to the hype of a 1st rounder.  I think we all can agree on that. However, there still is hope he comes around.  What I believe they saw in him was his speed after the catch.  He needs to get more consistent but when he gets the ball you kind of hold your breath just a second because if he gets free, he's gone.  The Brooks pick was a signing for the future, and no one could have guessed he would re-injure the same ACL.  This makes the pick look bad but Dallas was ready to draft him later that same round.  IMO we'll have to see what happens next season before we can call this a bust. Wallace has improved each season and for a third rounder has done well.  Sanders has shown flashes and considering the pick in the 4th round it wasn't a bad pick.  His sophomore season IMO was a little bit more productive.  Smith-Wade has been a good addition and has played well.  For a 5th round pick to get as much playing time as he has.  Most picks below round 3 should take a couple of years to get up to speed.  He's been a decent player.  Crumedy, no comment We turned Barrett into Jackson.  This was an amazing move and basically got a starting CB for a 7th round pick.  Pretty shrewd if you ask me. Coker, maybe the best Free Agent signing of the 2024 draft class. So, in short, you can't say that the draft was a bust.  It isn't a home run but all but one are still on the team and outside of Brooks have made contributions to wins.  2025 draft class has been much better with almost every pick making contributions this season.  Now take Fitterer's two years and compare them to Morgan and tell me that they have the same philosophy. 
    • He hasn’t led crap, he’s on loaded teams and a piece of the puzzle. And he’s he has improved drastically but it took the ultimate QB whispers in Shanahan and KOC. You put him on this Panther team and he’s back to normal Darnold 
    • Slavin and Jarvis week to week. Florida cheap shots took out our two best players.  I’d start KK so he can beat the brakes off someone.
