Schefter: the four GMs most in danger of losing their jobs are...

[DaWolf]

@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?

This is no exaggeration. People like Mecca used to spew this stuff all of the time during my yearly Peyton Manning/Tom Brady debates. Seriously. It was..."Tom Brady has no weapons but Peyton Manning has Edgerrin James, Marvin Harrison and Reggie Wayne!"

Every. Single. Year.

Now?

Now we are rumored to get Polian and Polian was shitty and stumbled into Peyton and Peyton masked all of his poor front office decisions.

Interesting fan base we have.

It's not that Polian is shitty. I think he's pretty decent. It's that he's 69 and is going to try and package a GM deal to get his boy in here as well. I'm sick and tired of the nepotism thing. You are going to get Polian in here for a year, maybe two and he then hands it over to his kid. Screw that.

It's why Kyle "the Mouse" Shannahan can suck a bag of dicks as a potential head coach.

one thing's for sure if polian were to take over in KC -- he's going to draft a QB

Amukamara can't seem to stay healthy. The rest of 2011 is not impressive.
Pierre-Paul is good and Joseph has been ok but he has stomped a player for retaliating because Joseph was trying to pull him off the pile. The rest of 2010 is meh.
Hakeem Nicks is ok but is inconsistent at best and is dinged up easily. The rest of 2009 is pretty meh.
Kenny Philips and Terrell Thomas are ok but not great shut down anything.
There is a lot of mediocrity through all of those drafts.

Now we're just getting picky on a few of these players. The Giants have been re-stocking on fresh new talent every season seemingly. Draft or free agency.

Pioli has done neither, and doesn't respect the QB position. He's also a psychotic sociopathic dumbass.

If we hired Ross, got a halfway decent coach, and drafted Geno, this team would be going places. That's all it takes.

Based off the Chiefs record alone, Pioli should be listed

If the Chiefs hire Ross, he's going to bring in another HC from the Parcells coaching tree.

There's mediocrity in most teams drafts.

The thing I like about him is he's not afraid to pull the trigger on a huge ceiling prospect like JPP and that he's managed to pull in some guys who have contributed - substantially more than what we've seen here under Pioli.

Add to it that the guy is smart (two Ivy league degrees), isn't a son of some guy from the '70's NFL and has intermed/done his time under solid, successful team oriented atmospheres.

Also, he was the Eagles Director of College Scouting back in 2000 at only 27 years old (youngest director of college scouting in the NFL) until 2004.

In between his Eagles and Giants gigs, he was national college scout for the Bills.

He played the game in college, where he still owns numerous receiving records at Princeton. (Offensive minded guy is a plus in my book in this day and age.)

The guy has drive and vision and experience. And he's only 39.

I think he's a pretty solid GM canidate all the way around.

And having the first pick in the draft is a nice little carrot to dangle in front of a prospective GM, especially when it's a QB like Geno Smith who has a ton of potential to be a high level NFL signal caller for a long time.

I doubt it.

He's been with the Giants since 2004. It's not like he's married to the ****ing guys daughter or something.

There's also the fact that once Clark Hunt hires the GM he completely turns over the football operations.

There really isn't a better situation for a GM in the league.

If Pioli is still here next year, I'm finding another team.

Tom Coughlin & staff are all Parcells tree. It's NYG football. That is what Ross knows.
