I mean to overcome all that. This must be some kind of wonderkid.

You have made him out to be something that is barely employable at all and yet not only is he interim GM he is rumored to be considered as the one to be named.

Yea man, har har! Either that or he could be the GM(interim) of one of the worst teams in the history of the NFL..yea one or the other.

Most of us would rather us move away from that btw. We can start by snagging people from perennial contenders and winners who have shown they can pick the right personnel.

sounds like a joke when you put it that way. Also it sounds like if they choose this guy, based on all the damning evidence you have presented against him, he must really have something special.

BIG DISCONNECT

you call it experience, some call it "the old way"

I call it the way that works.

He's quite employable, in a logistics position. Making him the GM would be like taking an administrative assistant and making him CEO.

We've got an extremely complicated cap situation this coming season, and prep for draft and free agency will pretty much need to start immediately.

You want the guy who up till a few months ago was buying plane tickets put in charge of all that?

i've never said what I wanted. Usually you are one of the ones level headed enough not to get confused. I just asked why it was so impossible for an outside consultant to find the in-house guy to be the best candidate once all due diligence is done. In any case, not specifically ours. People were saying that it would be stupid to pick Beane after bringing in an outside source and I just thought that was a stupid reason. Your opinions are well received. I don't agree or disagree. I do find it impossible for him to even be a candidate much less a possible front runner based on your description of him though and would ask you to consider the fact that many people have performed roles for organizations that they were overqualified for. Especially when they are both young and inexperienced. Most GM's don't start out as GM with their first position with a franchise.

      Who is going to take a shot at Malik Willis

      By cranky · Posted

      So Willis had a good game against a poor defense and all of a sudden he is worth 50 million and is guaranteed to be better than Young. LOL I know he looked good in the 3 games he started, and I think he will have success long term, but anyone signing him up for a long term contract for 50 million is taking a huge risk.

      Is he really though? Rivera was past his prime and probably shouldn't have even started 2019 so his firing wasn't really unexpected or unwarranted. Rhule lasted two and a half years which was about one year too long in my opinion. Bringing him back that third year certainly wasn't impulsive and I would say Tepper was more patient than he should have been. Wilks finished out that third season and did pretty good but most everyone could see he really wasn't anything more than an intern HC. Bringing him back was not the long term answer so not bringing him back was the correct call. Hiring Reich was a mistake from the beginning and he recognized that fairly quickly. I am sure he knew he was going to catch a lot of sh*t for firing him so quickly ( and boy did he ) but it was absolutely the right thing to do given everything that was going on. The firing may have looked impulsive, but I think it was him recognizing he had royally f*ck up and just dealt with it instead of letting it fester.  That brings us to Canales. 2025 was only his second season and yet he delivered 8 wins and the NFC South title. And while that might not sound great, given the lack of talent and cap space they started with, it's a strong step in the right direction. I couldn't imagine Tepper not being pleased with their progress given the crap the Panthers' have been though under his ownership.
