In light of the rumor of Carl getting canned... - Page 2

There is a bit of excitement stemming from the possibility that Herm can do more of what he wants, and that's get as much young talent on the field as possible.

Part of the reason I *believe* this team continues to struggle is the fundamental differences between Herm Edwards and Carl Peterson. I need not enumerate them, we all know what I'm talking about.

But someone fill me in.

This team needs a major overhaul this offseason. Does getting a new GM enable that to take place easier, or does a new GM obstruct that process?

Rumor of Carl getting fired? Where? When? What?

Nevermind, found it.

If you wouldn't take AJ Smith over Carl you have issues.....Smith is a top 5 GM in the league.

That settles it, if Mecca says it it has to be wrong.

A top 5 GM doesn't go 14-2, fire his head coach, and hire a replacement that has a long record of failure as head coach. He didn't get along with Marty, so he let his personal feelings influence his decision. A good GM doesn't do that.

In terms of evaluating talent yes, but AJ Smith's ego is a problem. The Marty situation is proof of this. Same with ditching Brees for Rivers.
