So can someone help me with this. Why do GMs have so much power to begin with in terms of what players a team drafts or signs? Maybe im not thinking about this the right way but it would seem to me HCs and coordinators would have a lot better grasp of what their team needs as opposed to a yuppie GM that spends most of his days in a plush office

Pete Caroll des, but we are talking about JR giving Chip this much control. It's not going to happen. Chip might as well sign his

contract to t\ithe Eagles now because they are probably the only team that will give him that much control.

Caroll had a NFL background before he became coach of Seattle.

I know.

Though its cheaper to pay one guy to do two jobs than two guys doing two jobs lol

I could picture us interviewing him and then he tells JR "Well, I was looking for full control of personnel decisions."

And JR laughs in his fuging face.

and then he goes on and take the Eagles to the Playoffs next season while we're stuck with Rivera, and JR has half the stadium fill with opposing fans. Right?

Probably wont happen, but I would love to see Kelly take over this team and have full decision making.

I would love to see Kelly making the calls on Draft Day. Harbaugh, Schiano, and Carroll has shown that they can draft players pretty well with their experiences of recruiting players back in college (Aldon, Kaepernick, Culliver, Doug Martin, Barron, David, Wagner, Irvin, Carpenter, Wilson, Moffitt, KJ Wright, Sherman, Okung, Earl, Chancellor, etc). Cant say that these college coaches doesnt know talents.

well I was expecting rumors of a young coach with a ton of confidence to say that he didn't want any input in personnel decisions at all.

I think we should see what he says, and I don't think we should laugh at him if he says he wants full control... try to negotiate.

      Possible, he is physical and a forchecker but not a needle mover, but i wouldnt mind it, although I think we have enough 4th line grinders right now between Carrier Robinson and Janakowski  down there, i actually really love our 4th line.            We need scoring in the top 6, and a RHD at this point its definitely coming via trade.            Rasmus Andersson I hear may be on the market, it feels like every couple of seasons someone links us to Erik Karlsson.       As far as centers go,  Marco Rossi (even though we have a ton of smurf already)     Jordan Kyrou is an intriguing option if he is available.           At this point i think Rod should just move Jarvis to his natural center position to give us a 1B center...   yes hes also a smurf but he plays way bigger than he is stylistically.

      The problem with these summary stats and rankings is that they flatten out progression and assume an even performance throughout the year. His first 3 or 4 games of the season don't really tell you anything about his current level of capacity but more about where he started and what his floor was last year. Given his last several games were against playoff teams, that gives you an idea of his current ability coming into the season. But it will serve more as a floor than a ceiling given the upgrade in talent on offense. And a better defense should give us more stops which results in shorter fields and more opportunities. And going into his third year there is no reason to suspect he will regress. His success wasn't  based on being superhuman but being smart and taking what was the defense was giving him. Distributing to the other guys not trying to do it on his own. He was great at the end when pressured and consistently moved the ball. That makes him a great game manager which is what we need. Something that is easier to do and relies on everyone else rather than having to be a top physical specimen or do it on his own. No one can predict the future but to say we haven't improved much is crazy given just having the Browns anchoring the defensive line will shut down the run and make sure QBs won't be stepping up in the pocket.  Assuming Evero got the message to can the prevent defense and bend until you break philosophy.
