Breer answers question about Adam Peters

[Mr. Scot]

From his latest mailbag.(Link)

From Justin Mason (@Masonjt24): Do you think Adam Peters could replace Scott [Fitterer] in Carolina at season end?

Justin, it’s hard, at this point, to envision very many people surviving in Carolina after how this season has gone. I think Fitterer is a solid general manager, and he’s been on the job for only three years, which is a short period over which to evaluate someone in his spot.

That said, there was a little tell in how owner David Tepper handled the firing of Frank Reich that can give a little insight into where he might take his franchise next. Tepper could’ve used the opportunity to audition Thomas Brown or Ejiro Evero for the job. Instead, he turned to special teams coordinator Chris Tabor. Part of that is it’s what’s least disruptive to the staff in-season. But another could be that it made what happened last year less likely.

And that’s not to say Tepper didn’t want his team to catch fire like it did under Steve Wilks last year. Instead, it could mean Tepper was looking ahead toward blowing things up and didn’t want to be under pressure, again, to elevate an interim coach to full-time status. If he then had his eye on starting over with the coaching staff, it stands to reason Tepper may well want to turn the page in a more complete way on his football operation.

If he does that, yes, Peters would be a good candidate, as someone who has interviewed there before and has experience going to Super Bowls with the Patriots, Broncos and 49ers through his two-decade career as a personnel man.

...

Personally still don't believe he'll leave his "dream job" (especially not for an organization as dysfunctional as ours) but you never know.

It is rare for a fish out of water to find the way back, when it's only action is to flop around uselessly until dead.

I agree in doubting he’ll leave. We’re not attracting any Tier 1 names (coach or GM) unless Tepper makes a concerted effort to assure candidates that he’ll be significantly more hands off this go around and let the football staff do their thing, which I don’t think he will.

Three years seems like enough time to evaluate a GM.

It is when we've progressively gotten worse and his draft picks and major free agent additions look awful. I'd say it might be too soon if we were making smart moves in free agency with draft picks showing promise but if that was the case we wouldn't be the worst team in the league in his third year.

Yep. The team is getting worse each year, the roster management sucks, and they traded the first overall pick next year. Fire this chode. 

[Waldo]

The only way a high quality prospect like that would come here is a massive contract, a deal where they get everything they want control wise and the ability to do whatever they want with the team.

I have a hard time seeing Tepper allow that let alone let it happen without fugging it up.

[ProcessBlue2]

I have a hard time seeing him leave SF.
