[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?

    • Baker just played how Baker played.... everywhere but here. He is a risk taking gunslinger.  Always has been.   Geno Smith was the best deep ball passer in the NFL his comeback season.  Wasn't even close that year.  Again, that's the type passer Canales has always been around in the offenses he has been part of.  The pass game that compliments the stubborn run is the deep chunk play pass game.   And that was his first investment with XL.  My continued point, is the same as going into last season.  It's a bad marriage going in.  The QB doesn't fit the scheme.  Again.  Carrol/Fox/Ron....all paired up their boring football with risk taking QBs.  And again, I'm fine if that is where we are going.  It's not my preference but that's not my argument.  I'm saying if we are doing that, we need a QB that matches it.     
    • I guess you missed the point. His rushing attack was dead last yet his team still performed. That’s not Fox/Rivera ball. His QB also had a career year. Remember the same QB that played for us in the same division and was so bad he was cut?  Carroll coached after Lynch as well. In fact Canales was more involved in the more recent offense with Geno Smith and a good rushing attack. People are taking him wanting a rushing attack and assuming that means we are shutting down our passing attack. Again many of the top offenses like SF, Miami, and Detroit featured strong rushing attacks. 
    • Too bad it was all for nothing because his dumbass goalie can't stay on his feet or control the puck when it's right infront of him
