Jonathan Jones: Caserio was first choice, and Tepper was prepared to pay him a lot of money

On local radio here in Raleigh, Jones just said Tepper was prepared to hire Caserio and "pay him a lot of money," before the Texans and Easterby did the same thing.  Also, inferred that Dodds withdrawing from consideration for the GM position has to do with Rhule being "the guy," here, so if a guy is looking to be an autonomous GM, Carolina isn't going to be a fit.

I don’t like seeing or hearing that at all. If Rhule wants to be the Gm, just come out and take both the jobs. If he wants nothing to do other than coaching the team then let’s get a Gm that has full control of managing the team. 

There’s an ocean of space between those two options. We’re going to be somewhere in the middle—there will be a GM but Rhule will have the loudest voice in the organization. That’s worked plenty of times, it’s not necessarily a problem.

I believe it. 
 

Tepper and Rhule made the decision to partner with each other during their first meeting. 

It’s been a week and a bit of interviews daily. You had to figure they had a guy picked. 

Hopefully Tepper didn’t blow a gasket and say something out of anger to Caserio after finding out the news. We’re going to need Caserio to send us Watson

Sounds like Chip Kelly. I’m pretty sure that was the reason the 49ers got rid of Harbaugh. I don’t like it one bit. Having two guys with high egos butting heads. It’ll happen sooner than later. A Gm should not have to answer to the head coach. It’s the other way around. That’s why I wanted Tepper to fire Hurney after 2019 so we could have a Gm to pick his own coach. Tepper doesn’t have a clue what he is doing. 

It also sounds like Kyle Shanahan and Pete Carroll. There’s more than one way to divide the work and authority between a coach and a GM.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
