Jeff Ireland rumored to be a GM candidate


Mr. Scot

Recommended Posts

Jonathan Jones was being interviewed about the Panthers firing Hurney. Nick Wilson asked him if he knew of any candidates. He mentioned a couple of hypotheticals (Ed Dodds, Nick Caserio, Ryan Poles) but gave one specific name that's being linked to the Panthers in "league circles",

Jeff Ireland

The connection to Matt Rhule is obviously fuel for the speculation, but Ireland's been a hot GM candidate for a few years now due to the work he's done running the Saints draft.

So at this point, Ireland is an official...rumor.

Took a look at the Saints forum...

Saint fans are nervous, unhappy and worried at the prospect of Ireland taking the Panthers job. A few are rationalizing reasons why he wouldn't want the promotion to GM or want to leave the Saints while others are resigned to him being gone.

Granted, might not happen, but... :)

Yep. 

Here's a rundown of what he did that got himself fired:

There was this guy named Bill something who sucked in Cleveland but did a lot better on his second job.

I don't know if Ireland's the guy, but he's done enough at this point to be a hot candidate for not just our job, but others also,

    • Say you don't understand PFF without saying you don't understand PFF... Every week seems like some of the same people are complaining about something they clearly don't understand.  I'm not saying they are the end all resource out there but once you understand their methodology you can start to appreciate some of their work. For example, their grading system isn't a high school grading system, try to look at some of it in relative terms.  Rico had an 82 rushing grade, that's pretty good.  I would be curious to know how that compares to every other running back this past weekend. Also, I think he had a few penalties, which if I'm not mistaken are graded pretty harshly.      
    • Can we go back to square one for a minute and remember what we paid for this guy and how he was sold?  He was like, the anti excuse. Makes everybody better, Did we get that?  I think the answer is still coming but so far you might can say that for a game or two.  Cam had issues with personnel every season almost. Horrible OL, but he had receivers. Decent to good OL no receivers. Etc. Bryce needs to stand up, or keep standing up, however you want to put it. It is big boy time in year 3. He doesn’t have to make the playoffs but there is a standard. We’ll see what happens.  But the excuses are just fuging tired.  ps, I mean let’s not crown him when he has franchise record production in two wins,.. let’s see when they stop that, how he does then. 
    • Where do you draw line top3 or top 5 money then? I wish he goes for a "hometown" deal and doesn't try and reset market but it's going to be tough to argue not paying him BIG MONEY if he continues do be a stabilizing force on the left side of line. DM got some tough decisions to make at the OT position coming up.
