@AdamSchefter: The four GMs in most danger of losing jobs are Arizona’s Rod Graves, Cleveland’s Tom Heckert, Jacksonville’s Gene Smith, SD's A.J. Smith.

@AdamSchefter: Giants director of college scouting Marc Ross has emerged as a leading candidate to become the Panthers next general manager, per sources.

No Pioli?

Not the guy you want. At all. RT @greggrosenthal Every KC fan that likes idea of hiring Polian: Check out his last 5 drafts in Indy

Pioli had no track record.

It wouldn't be my top choice, and I have always stated Peyton was the primary reason anyone was successful in Indy and he masked a lot of mediocre, at best teams...

but yeah, I guess. I don't give a shit about the GM, really. I give a shit about the GM hiring a good coach and getting a good QB.

If we landed say Kyle Shanahan or Chip Kelly and Geno Smith...don't care who the GM is...as long as it isn't Pioli.

[Saccopoo]

Great.

Polian is two years from retiring and handing the reigns of the franchise to his "legacy" - which was the reason he got shit canned in Indy.

****ing NFL nepotism is ridiculous and tragic. It's like watching the Renaissance era kingdoms of Europe **** and breed each other into complete incomptence and complacency.

[Hootie]

and by Pioli has no track record I mean...he was never THE guy...Polian has been THE guy for a long, long time.

[Dayze]

Evan Silva should look at Pioli's last couple of drafts.....JFC

[BryanBusby]

Polian can go to somewhere else.

Yep. He's proof that it is not always the right way to go.

[Hootie]

I heard he got canned in Indy because Irsay wanted HIS franchise back. Hunt doesn't want anything to do with day to day operations so I doubt that would ever be a problem.

Again, I'm not advocating it, I'm just saying...I'm more worried about the #1 pick (Geno) and a good, young head coach than I am about Bill Polian potentially being our GM.

[Mr_Tomahawk]

Does this surprise anyone...?

[BryanBusby]

He got canned because he wanted to ride the Peyton Manning wagon into the ground. Polian is the same shit, different face.

Oooh, good point.

Still, I'd prefer an "up and comer" and a Kyle Shanahan...

but again, I won't lose sleep over Polian, Geno + head coach who likes offense.

I don't want any ****ing Jim Schwartz/Gunther or Ron Rivera bullshit.

[Hootie]

I'd rather have a GM that realizes the importance of a franchise QB over a GM who wants to find a gem so he can pat himself on the back for two decades.

Polian rode Manning to like 10 straight 12+ win seasons.

If he (or his son) wants to ride Geno for 10 straight 12+ win seasons and a Super Bowl or two...sign me up.

Yes, that is the exact same thing as Pioli trading for Cassel.

My thought as well.

[Hootie]

I will say...

The Chiefs will be a hot commodity for a GM if we can Pioli.

The #1 pick will be very enticing I'd think.
