if players don't like the coach or don't like each other...that's probably an issue.

 

if the players don't like the guy who gets/keeps them employed, that's not that big of an issue. it's not like they have to spend every day with the guy or anything.

Love DG he understands how there is a shift in terms of the money in the NFL

Think about this.

 

Whenever top free agent hits the market chances are they are going to get overpaid because some sucky team has alot of money and really need talent. Then when other player's contract needs to be renewed they compare their worth to the overpaid guy who just got paid big bucks. I deserve more than him cause I am better. Heck just look at Romo, Matt Ryan, Jay Cutler and other guys. Everyone is overpaying. Guess what happens when you do that? You run out of money to field the entire team which is what you see now. 

 

Cowboys Saints and other teams just flat out don't have any money and they have to release a ton of players. Now you have a bunch of free agents wanting to get paid and there is no money. There is a reason the salary cap got raised 10mil this year. The practice of overpaying is killing teams. That is why you get those 1 year mercenary deals DG was talking about.

I don't care if players like a GM, as long as they respect him.

 

Ask anybody who's played for the Patriots and then been jettisoned how warm and fuzzy the team was to them.

 

You want to draw the best players?  Put together a roster that can win Super Bowls.

 

You want to draw players that talk a good game but are ultimately happy just getting a paycheck?  Run your team like Hurney did.

why should anyone care about the relationship between management and player??

 

the GM deals with the players agent...........not the player.

 

one day this fan base will figure it out.

 

 

 

PS..........Gman is something special..........stfu and let him perform his magic.

i think in one year of managing the team, he's done plenty to earn that respect.

he doesn't hide the fact that his job is to make the franchise better...not to be liked by the employees. his commitment is to the team, not the players.

i think he's a likeable fellow, he's just not trying to be their buddy like hurney was. business first.

To expand on rayzor's post, here is a fact of life for some of the younger posters on this site. Anybody who walks around with coaches shorts jacked up to their neck is straight up business first. Write it down and don't forget it.

And obviously they don't give a damn about what people think. Hell, my grandfather wore plaid Bermuda shorts with high blue socks. You think he gave a damn?

If he didn't change in New York, what makes you think he'll change here? Like I said previously in another thread, G-Man is who he is.

He didn't have to speak to the media in New York. It's just playing the media game and being savvy. If he doesn't there will be more problems like smitty.

      Jabrill Peppers Available

      By Proudiddy · Posted

      I’m not mad at Moehrig.  He’s great at what he does.  And to be honest, a lot of my favorite safeties in our history were box-first type guys - Maxie, Minter, Mike Mitchell, Chris Harris…  they’re first and foremost objective was to put people on their backs and coverage was secondary.  There is a place for that.  There is a definite need for that.  Physical guys that set the tone.  So cool, we have that in Moerhig. But what we have lacked for the vast majority of our existence is a true free safety that cleans everything up on the back end.  Sometimes they come in the form of a JOAT, like Peppers.  I think he would be a fantastic compliment to Moehrig’s strengths and weaknesses.  If we don’t go after him, I certainly hope Ransom is given the chance to grow and develop in real-time with real game reps, because what he did in preseason was very encouraging to see.  I hope he can grow into that roaming center fielder with a little bit of an edge to him as an enforcer as well.  He has the tools.  In the meantime, adding Peppers would only help.

      Everything revolves around Bryce This Year

      Option 1 is most likely. Even if he kills it this year, it wouldn't be prudent to rush an extension for one good season. If you have to pay him more because you waited another year, then he earned it. And that's OK. Adjust accordingly.

      Cam had the advantage of having a very strong supporting cast his first 2 seasons. Things definitely worsened later on. But those first couple of years can kill a QB. Some never truly recover. If they do recover it takes years, and usually with another team. Trying to learn to be an NFL QB with TEs and WRs that are trying to learn too is a recipe for disaster. Imagine if Cam's rookie season was that 2014 offensive squad. Changes everything! I said it when they moved up in 2023. This team wasn't ready for a rookie QB yet. Anyone that thinks Stroud would have been a lot better is delusional. The correct formula is to build a strong team and then you go get your rookie QB. Not the other way around. BY is going into his third season and we're still trying to put a respectable group of WRs and TEs around him. I think they have the right personnel now. Unfortunately they haven't developed into actual NFL players yet.  This season we should expect consistency and aggressiveness from BY. Mostly for his development but also to DEVELOP his young cast.
