JR doesn't have many years left.

If he wants to live to see another Super Bowl with the Panthers in it, he has to get this GM hire right.

Create a committee of former successful NFL executives. Have them determine the qualifications required, ID and interview potential candidates, and make the final recommendations to JR.

I don't feel like you need a lot of football knowledge to determine if someone is qualified to run an NFL GM position. The GM himself is the one who needs to be knowledgable. I feel like Danny Morrison is more than capable of hiring the right person. Morrison is a guy that handles the business side of the organization.. and I classify this as a business decision. Hell, any one of us can look at a person's track record, ie., who the potential GM has worked for in the past, which GMs has he learned from, what has he contributed to that organization and what he can offer our organization. Interview highly respected potential GMs around the league, and we will weed them out slowly but surely. Morrison is the right guy.

Richardson along with a consultant he brings in to assist with the decision.

The consultant should be along the lines of one of these "old football minds" that everyone wants to coach that I think would make a bad coach / GM choice. No matter what their specific philosophies are they will be able to help identify qualities in a potential GM that will be important.

I still believe Richardson wants to win and I believe he'll spend the money if he has to. I also think he'll need a little help if we're going to be sure this hire is right.

JR will probably make the decision but i had rather have Danny Morrison make it. Morrison would, in my opinion make a selection with his head and not his heart,the way JR has been known to do on occasion. Though my guess is that it will be a joint decision,with JR naturally having the final say.

If what some folks have said is correct, and Marty was nothing more than a JR hand puppet, then I would definately want DM making the decision. Otherwise I think we have a very good chance of having a new gm who is nothing more than another JR sock puppet, ready to fall on his sword for all of JR s bad decisions.

You really have to wonder about the timing of this Marty firing - in the grand scheme of this season at least- what the hell does it accomplish except make it appear that you are doing something?

      if  ANYONE actually goes & looks at the FACTS on rookie Qb's after 2 full seasons as a starter in the NFL & they are still well below average do they rarely ever actually become top tier Qb's & instead most likely either do not recieve a second contract & or become life long backups...just saying

      So he became GM and decided not to address the weakness in the QB room following one of the worst rookie QB performances in NFL history?  There were options last season other than signing Dalton to a 2 year deal. Brissett and Jones by a wide margin, both of whom outplayed Bryce, Wilson, Winston, hell even Rivers off the couch was more exciting at the QB position. The time to address the failure in the QB room was last year but instead people on the Huddle cheered when we brought Dalton back then cheered when we were able to get anything for him after they finally realized he was washed up like a few of had been saying all along and got poo'd for even mentioning.  This year, the options were more limited obviously, especially since we lost Icky. It changed the dynamic of our draft. I think we were stuck this year keeping Bryce, but i still think giving him a 5th year option for what has amounted to replacement worthy performance was the wrong move. Why guarantee 25m if you're planning to replace him? You think he's going to want to be a bridge QB? Hell no. He's going to want out and we'll end up cutting him if he has another lackluster season because no one is trading for him with that price tag.  Were there better options as far as production available. A couple. Were there guys available with more physical tools than Bryce, Pickett or Grier, you damn well better believe there were. I've been saying all along, you always keep looking for your 1b. Bryce has yet to prove he can be a starter. Keep looking for someone who may. Put competition in camp. Let the best QB lead the team. Stop settling for less than mediocre.
