Crazy list isn't it? Pretty sure when Colbert came aboard it wasn't this indepth of a search. I had that list of bad decisions started, looks like I will need to start one for good decisions. Keep them coming!

 

[steel dino]

Maybe their looking for more than one guy?

Not 2 GM's....but creating a new position to compliment the GM role.

Or someone willing to share control with the head coach?

I was about to say how impressed I was at the in depth effort they were taking. MD’s post made me rethink that

I hear yaz slash, kick the many tires as you never know,................ a I right ?


I think this candidate has some good qualities judging from his past experience. I like the fact he came from scouting, very important skill in a GM in my opinion.

Anyone notice he has a little Detroit in him..............................

Sage advice. Thank you. Other than the g-string.

If this is the case it will be unfortunate if said HC has final say. A GM needs to be able to make both the player and fiscal decisions but definately head coach influenced. Sort of like a tantum team relasionship.

There is the problem! Tomlin has far too much control.

Yea and this year's war room will be difficult for Colbert considering if there's a split in opinion Tomlin will be throwing out the "I gotta live with this pick, you don't."

If we pick Malik Willis this pick could set us back years. The Bush pick which has Tomlin written all over it is bad enough but if they reach for this guy. They should stay pat at 20, pick the best OL or DL on the board and build these lines. Even if it means going with Rudy for a season and heaven forbid we have a losing season, draft our QB next year. These QBs are just not worth taking the risk on and if anyone has a chance it’s Kenny who is most NFL ready but he has to be a good situation. The rest are projects they are a crap shoot. No to Malik Willis!

I'm not saying I want any of the QBs this year, but they're already set back years as it is until they find the next QB. Next year it looks like Young/Stroud at the top and then a bunch of guys with just as many question marks as the guys this year.
