I don’t see any angle that makes us better than last. 

The one positive IMO is that you aren't tied down to anyone long-term (even Bryce with it being a rookie contract wouldn't be crippling to move on from if he shows no development).  If you are confident in yourself as a GM, you can mold this team to your liking as opposed to going to a team with less flexibility.

GM hires shouldn't be expecting to come in to good situations. Like in the business world executives are typically brought in to fix disasters and clean up messes. That's why they make big money to move to shitty places.

IF Tepper can sound genuine in saying he won't meddle then no GM worth a poo should shy away from a challenge.

 

I can see why coaches would think differently. We are screwed on that front and will be interesting to see that play out

Yea...Chargers are 45m over the cap with another 25m in dead money...they are playing their top 6 salaries 180m... what kind of talent are they going to be able to sign... they have a QB and a high first round pick....only plus they have but a lot more than we have.

Doesn't help that they are an afterthought in their hometown.

The in-vogue thing is to sh!t on the Panthers for some easy laughs so obviously at the bottom.

The GM search is a whole different animal than the HC search. The idea that Tepper is firing GMs left and right is laughable. Fitterer was literally the first GM he hired, and he gave him 3 years and 2 coaches; he even waited until the end of the season to quietly let him go.

Perception is reality. The last GM ruined the franchise and got to watch his boss throw a drink onto some guy’s head on the way out. Yeah that’s not a job I’d want if I had literally any other choice (including staying in my current job and waiting for something to else to come along).

Bingo, so much of a clean slate with #2 pick, money, and new (granted unknown) ownership.

Spanos is a cheap dude and the Chargers are in cap HELL with aging roster so you have a lot more work cut out than you think 

I’d say

Wash, NE, LV, LA, and Us is my order in appealing-ness 

The Chargers have a franchise QB. Nobody else on the list does - that's the top job (unless you're super confident in Washington that Williams / Maye is just as good).

This is my thought exactly. This is a really easy job to make yourself look good.

      BREAKING: Panthers interested in Justin Simmons

      By Basbear · Posted

      I mean the whole defense was trash, he was at least trying. Besides if you put a all-pro among 10 PSers, that all-world will look human. It's very hard to judge very bad units and find the best players among them. Horn and Mjack played well too, there was 0 pass rush and -1777784 run defense.

      Getting an early start this year...

      By Basbear · Posted

      I was looking back and seen Evan Neal has made the switch to OG after awful years at OT.......I wanted him over Icky for his tricep alone..... I was 100% stroud too, I was super pissed about his record setting and playoff leading start......I had arich vastly over the midget BY too. But right now, BY is about the only one on the up&up. The Texans used lots of prime draft capital to help Stroud.  It's still not ready. But if you're honestly about past drafts, these GMs are not alone in making mistakes.  I still feel they should stayed put and allowed Carter to fall in their lap, but best I know Tepper had the worst rage about landing a QB for the past 5 years. The deal is with the correct coaching staff, Baker or darnold would still be here....Baker has signed 3 years for 100 million, which is a great NFL QB contract. Tepper hiring rhule and his shitty Baylor/temple staff was a massive setback given rhule was in control too. Then panic set in an d fitteerererererer had to make a winner and find a QB. Ugh.....I hope they are back...

      Jaire Alexander Released

      By Basbear · Posted

      Also maybe the biggest part is his fromer college buddy, Lord Lamar told the GM to sign him. It was done nearly right after and guess who was the first person Alexander met at ravens stadium??
