I'm not sure if getting another manager from the Giants is a great move. Last one ended badly and there just isn't a lot to look at when it comes to the Giants in the last few years. 

All we need is another Bup Bup Bup Youse Guys at the helm again to sink us completely.

Did DG really end badly? He certainly wasn't perfect here and has been questionable in NY, but DG had pretty damn good success here, ultimately.

I am going to be curious if this process goes like the coaching search. We have a full plan laid out and then all of a sudden it is all over and we have a guy because Tepper finds "The Guy."

I hope so. If you find the guy you don’t stall

I have never disagreed with you more, but that's OK.:shades:

I think he had above average success on the contractual side and below average success on the drafting side! I think that he was downright bad to abysmal at what I'll call situational team building (which it's all situational), as he was much too dogmatic in his theories and approach to modern-day football. Just my $0.02. I am not going to get into an unnecessary debate on Gettleman. He's gone... thankfully!

Maybe it’s just because the only thing we have to compare him to is Hurney, but here are the results of each of his seasons (including 2017 because he was GM for the draft and free agency so that was his team despite getting fired during training camp):

 

2013: 12-4, divisional round loss

2014: 7-8-1, divisional round loss

2015: 15-1, Super Bowl loss

2016: 6-10, missed playoffs

2017: 11-5, wild card loss

 

I don’t know how anyone can argue that is anything other than a mostly successful tenure, in terms of pure outcome. I agree, he wound up missing in the draft considerably more than you’d hope for, but as Belichick (a notably horrible drafter) has shown, it doesn’t matter how you get there, as long as you can build a roster that can win. He should not have been fired when he was, and it’s certainly possible the team still would’ve fallen apart with Cam’s injuries whether DG stayed or not, but I wouldn’t assume that. We’ll never know, but that 5 season stretch is easily the best in our team’s history and DG should’ve been kept around at least another year or two to see what he could’ve kept building here. If we still fell apart then yeah I’d agree with you, but we never got the chance to see how it played out. His Giants tenure isn’t looking so good, but his 5 seasons here were pretty successful overall.

Yup.

People don't want to look at team success when they "evaluate" GM's, they would rather look at 1st round draft picks.

It's a really weird condition that the Panthers fans have.

      The Panthers win streak is masking substandard quarterback play

      By Diehardpanth02 · Posted

      He’s been every bit as much of the problem as anyone else. You cant remove him from that fact, he is just as much part of the team and in THE most important position on the field. But this is the first season he’s seen any kind of continuity in his team and coaches. And he’s shown flashes here and there. But we do need more out of him going forward a lot more if we are going to be successful

      Bryce isn’t great and super mid. But I think can be a game manager. What do we think is out there? Daniel Jones isn’t going anywher. Mac Jones? Zach Wilson? Pickett. I’m just not sure what’s out there that is much better without having to give up a ton of capital. Rather take one more step closer to contention with our early rounders next year with FS and LB help. Make this  place where dang they got a defense and a WR1 and solid RB room. I can win with that and want to be here

      Vet QB Options - Trade/Cut/FA Edition

      By amcoolio · Posted

      AR15 is if Justin Fields was fragile and his teammates hated him. No thanks. Ya'll think you hate watching Bryce Young? Wait until your QB can't even complete a 7 yard pass over the middle, which Fields and Richardson can't do. If the draft class was better, I could absolutely see the Titans moving on from Ward already if they got the #1 pick. But so far the college QB's haven't impressed enough. They'll have flashes, but then follow it up with a very meh game. Kyler is already done in Arizona, but he has a ridiculous contract and he's basically Bryce that likes to scramble, so no thanks. If Lawrence can't produce with that team in Jacksonville, what do you think he'll do here? He's tall Bryce who can throw deep but can't make the 4th down throws and crumbles in the red zone. No thanks. I do think Canales wants to move on from Bryce, his body language says so even in wins. He treated Bryce pretty odd this week and Bryce looked checked out in the Packers game. But unless they make another risky trade, its going to be slim pickings. Basically our hopes lie in hitting early in the draft with a Mateer, Nussmeier, Beck type or finding a random backup free agent that has another gear to hit.  I think even with the draft being wishy washy, 4-5 QB's will be taken in the top 7. A lot of teams are just that desperate.
