Yes.

There are only 32 NFL GM jobs in the world, any given year they are only a few open. 
Will an established, proven GM, who is currently in a GM position be willing to jump ship, maybe not, but there be plenty of “candidates” that will be willing to work for Tepper.

Lack of candidates will not be the issue, choosing the right one will be the issue, but that is the case for any HC or GM hire.  If there was a proven formula every ram would have a good HC and GM.

And we trust Tepper to get this right because... 🤔

Now we’re back to Rhule did everything? I wish you guys would make up your mind because before this off-season started you guys were saying that Tepper gave Fitterer control and that Rhule was reigned in and forced to hire coordinators with true NFL experience. Now that the off-season has basically been a huge bust, that whole story has been rolled back and Fitterer is back to being a yes man. Amazing.

I mean idk if i can give you a reason that is good enough for YOU. My level of hope is based on whether he is picking the next coach with help or by his self. 

He's previously made clear he doesn't believe in using outside consultants.

The best hope you have for a good coaching hire is him letting Fitterer and Morgan handle the process.

Oh okay, I didn’t see that.

 

Im not that big on fitterer personally. I don’t think he’s terrible, but I don’t think he’s great either. But i’d rather tepper have some help than no help. Don’t want him getting fooled with another 7 year plan.

He wants to do things differently so he can show everyone he's the smartest guy in the room. That's why he gave Rhule the money and the power he did and suggested a bunch of analytics guys as GM candidates.

A guy who isn't smart but thinks he is can destroy a team faster than anything.

I mean I wouldn’t go as far as to say Tepper isn’t smart. He just was in over his head. He thought it was as easy as giving Matt Rhule whatever he wanted and it’ll work because Rhule told him it would. I’m not fully out on Tepper until I see his next hire. But I do dislike mostly everything I’ve seen from his first what 3 years here. 
 

I have to say this felt very jerry jones/jason garrett like though (well obviously worse as rhule lost more, but owner HC relationship wise)

We don't. But I'm not sure why you think Fitterer doing guarantees he gets right. He has no experience leading a head coach search. He's never even been close to one.

Fitterer came from an organization [Seattle] that hasn't conducted a coaching search in twelve years. When Seattle hired Carrol (a college coach), Fitts was an area scout.

For one, he has connections and is well respected around the league.

For another, he actually knows football well enough to ask meaningful questions (and know the right answers)

For yet another, he'd have Dan Morgan working alongside him.

And last but most certainly not least, he's not David Tepper.

You hit the nail on the head here. That's what is most disturbing about Tepper & I just don't believe that he'll ever learn from his mistakes.

      Bryce Young is the worst QB in Panthers History

      By jb2288 · Posted

      agree to disagree you are entitled to that opinion even though I find the argument completely bizarre based on data. I could type out a long paragraph discussing those areas but what’s the point. I posted a screenshot that showed Bryce in a similar post snap situation with a free rusher in his face which resulted in a TD - that’s what happened on the play so I posted it.

      I've already addressed this notion in a previous reply. You are basing your assertion outside reality if you think Bryce would have not only been more successful but defeated the Patriots in place of Herbert. Bryce got blown off the field by that Patriots team with the highest paid OL in the league. We've seen Bryce with an OL that gave up 65 sacks and it resulted in the #1 pick. And that is not a defense of Herbert or arguing he is a great QB in any way. He has physical talent but he has been similar to Darnold early in his career in terms of his very up and down perfomances. However that does not change the fact that they have significantly less invested in the OL than the Panthers.

      This Bryce Guy (General BY Discussion)

      By CRA · Posted

      I think Tepper has been setting the stage where pending there is no miracle he wipes it all clean.  Think you already have been told that with small things like Evero staying.  Bryce is the guy next year.  OC, DC, everything stays the same.  QB room largely the same.  Nothing would really matter there.  They basically get one more shot and it goes how the schedule paired with our 27th ranked O predictably most likely goes.  Everyone out the door together.  Bryce is a bridge tier QB.  I don’t see Dave surviving where he could be bridge QB here in reality.
