Who's your choice for GM?


Mr. Scot

Peters and Dodds are both young and have very successful resumés. They seem to be fairly different in the personality department though.

Peters comes off like the boss who'll frame his criticism in more constructive terms while Dodds seems more like the type to say "listen up and I'm gonna explain to you why you're bad at your job".

I want an aggressive gm, someone that will tail gate you if your driving slow in the left lane  that type of gm

That's probably more Ed Dodds than Adam Peters.

I'd take either one though. They're both very good at their jobs, just different.

Kinda find myself wondering between Peters and Dodds, which one would David Tepper prefer?

Dodds has a "work" personality a lot like Tepper did in the financial world. It's an all go, no quit, balls to the wall, "not good enough until it's the best" sort of mentality. And he expects everyone working for him to be the same way.

Peters is more like the quiet, analytical guy, the one who looks and sounds like he knows everything about everything and can answer any question you ask like an expert. He's also got some background working with analytics in San Francisco, something Tepper would appreciate.

Granted, the choice could very easily be one of the other candidates, but I genuinely feel like one of these two guys would be the best for the job.

    • Every team does it's homework. More so than any fan.  Brooks, had he not been injured, would have been a first round talent.  I have zero problems with the team (Dan Morgan and company) drafting Brooks in the 2nd.  He is a fantastic talent.  As far as risk, this is the NFL.  Any and every player is exposed to the same brutality that the NFL is.  Despite Brooks latest setback, it doesn't cost the team much.  Our running back room is stacked.  Could they have drafted someone else? Sure. No promise that someone else would have made an impact last year.  Or this year.   When it's your job to do what Dan does, I pray you get it all right. Lord knows that there isn't a single GM that gets it all right.   
    • Dang, we might not be able to create the same magic from last year!
    • If we were a solid winning organization most of us would have no problems with this selection. We would have had a capable starter in place to allow him to be eased into the rotation. If were told prior to the draft that he had been completely cleared health wise, we "probably" wouldn't have a ton of reservations about this selection. If we had picked this young man on Day 3 of the draft most of us would have no problems with this selection because we wouldn't have had to use draft capital to move up and get him. Unfortunately, none of the above were true 1)  We were a terrible team in 2023 and needed an immediate impact player. 2)  He was hurt near the the end of the 2023 NCAA season. We traded up to get him even though we knew he wasn't medically cleared to play in 2024. 3) When training camp started we were hearing stories that the knee wasn't ready. That alone should have raised some red flags. I personally would have red-shirted him in 2024 in order to have him ready for 2025. We had Chubba as our lead back and other guys to fill the #2 and #3 spots on the depth chart. There was no need to rush Brooks unto the field in 2024. Here's our draft history in the 2nd round between 2021 and 2024 2021 TMJ 2022 No draft choice. We picked Matt Corall in round 3 (#94) as our only Day 2 pick. 2023 Jonathan Mingo 2024 Jonathon Brooks. We have taken 4 skill players on Day 2 of the draft for the past 4 years who have contributed absolutely nothing to the offensive side of the football. 3 are no longer on the team. Two of them are no longer in the NFL. One  could possibly never start a game due to a knee injury. This type of poor drafting is why this team has been so bad for the entire decade.
