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.

      Can we get to 9-8?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.

      Eight of Bryce Young's nine wins have come off game-winning drives

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand.

      Trade Chuba?

      By Mike2.0 · Posted

      Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
