Ok, it's Friday, and still no GM.

I don't care. I don't need to sign a GM just to sign a GM. We must get the right guy for the job. A GM that wll aid Rivera in finishing the job he started. A GM that can find talent. A GM that will make us relevant for the long haul.

I don't believe that Rivera is gone just because we are getting a new GM. I believe this team is better than it was two years ago. I also don't care how many of my fellow huddlers will whine and complain about keeping Rivera. Or harp over the fact that a GM isn't already on board.

So in closing. I want Rivera back. I want a GM with an eye for talent and don't care how long it takes. We are a team that is close, and we need a GM that agrees with me.

There are guys out there that can get the job done. As long as it is not Beane we will be ok. You folks are too damm funny with your "I know what is best crap."

I get the point I think - saying you won't even care on Friday right? I hope you mean that.

Either way everyone making the statement that they don't care how long it takes doesn't realize that philosophy only works in a vacuum where we are the only team looking for a GM. The level of passivity we tend to show with decisions while the organization waffles about how they want to handle something will land us with a 2nd tier candidate given the number of other teams who are looking to fill the same spot.

I take a generally accepting stance to how long we take to do things but the GM search should be short and sweet from here. It should certainly not be protracted. And if we want a good GM it had better not be.

Well according to Tom Sorenson's response to my tweet, looks like we will have to be a bit more patient..

@Christopher5784. New GM should decide. Dont expect anything this week.- Tom Sorensen

Makes sense to me. The soonest I expect to hear about a GM is Friday. If that's the case Rivera will be employed at least until Monday.

    • Have you seen the mock drafts lately?   Most of them have us taking a QB. Just because you aren't high on these QBs doesn't mean the Panthers or other teams aren't.   If you want me to be real I just think you a Tmac homer and all you care about is us drafting him. It's why you get so defensive when people mention other prospects.   Be open to other people's ideas. Nobody in this thread is saying anything bad about your boy Tmac. 
    • Oh good lord Interest doesn't mean interest in making a bad trade to take the player, that's why I had such a long post, to accurately describe why those are two different things, but you don't like to listen to that stuff.  Being interested in a player doesn't live in a vacuum. It's very simple... there isn't a #1 draft pick type of grade on any of these QB's, if there was, we'd just take them.  You can't bluff a pick everyone knows you won't make, and trying to trade the pick is the CLEAR signal that you're not taking the QB. Just because the Raiders would have interest, doesn't mean they're going to bail us out of a situation we don't want to be in, they'd be smart about it and just sit put, let us take a non QB as we'd be telling the world we're not taking one just by trying to trade the pick, and then they'd take him at #2 (either with their own pick or by trading less to get that one). Oh, and your point of "if nobody is willing to make the trade, you obviously just take the best QB" is quite literally the dumbest thing I've ever read on here. If nobody is willing to trade up to take the QB, then it's OBVIOUS that the QB isn't worth taking with that pick, so OBVIOUSLY taking the best QB there is just OBVIOUSLY stupid and a bad pick. The moral of it is if there is a QB worth taking, we're taking them and not making the trade.  If there isn't a QB worth taking there, nobody is trading up to #1 to take one, we just showed the NFL how bad of an idea that is 2 years ago, it's really not hard to see. You keep making up this mythical situation where there is a QB who has shown to be worth trading up to #1 for and we'll be able to leverage that into a trade.  But we're the most QB needy team in the league, if we end up with the #1 pick, either we are taking a QB #1 or no QB is going #1 unless we get VERY lucky and two teams in the Top 5 fall in love with one prospect and we can play them off each other and fleece one of them. But again, I can't see that happening, as if there was a QB worthy of that, we're just taking him ourselves.
    • Sanders is with Tom Brady brand and that's his mentor. The Raiders owner was with Sanders taking pics at a Vegas game together.   It doesn't take much to connect the dots that Vegas will be interested in Sanders as their franchise QB. Oh yeah and guess who hasa small ownership stake in the Raiders Tom Brady.   I guess this is just another made up Madden idea by me huh?
