Bubba Gump Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 So Dan Morgan goes from a good LB to a few years in a front office to GM?. Sure, why not. 3

InEnemyTerritory Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 Malik Boyd is a guy I could see getting a lot of interest for a GM position. Excellent track record of picking gems off the scrap heap.

I've followed Dan Morgan his whole career. He is nowhere ready to be a GM. Let someone take a chance on him. I pull for the guy, I have his autographed Panthers helmet. But he has done nothing to deserve a GM job as of yet.

Buffalo_Stampede Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 We'll likely lose one or two over the next few years. Schoen is Beane's right hand man but Brian Gaine was considered a future star also but had issues in Houston. So I don't see Gaine ever getting another job. We're very deep in the front office department.
MJS Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 I like that Beane likes to bring in the best, brightest, most experienced guys he can. Other GM's seem to be threatened by underlings like that. All they seem to care about is control. Glad that both McDermott and Beane care about winning and are humble and collaborative enough to bring in people as smart or smarter than them. How many power struggles have we gone through over the years? And we see it all the time with other teams too. 5 2 1

What experience did Lynch have before becoming SF's GM? 2 1

It's a unique situation where McDermott basically picked his front office. McDermott is the king of the Bills. 2
JGMcD2 Posted November 30, 2020 Posted November 30, 2020 (edited) Beane has assembled an outstanding front office. They didn’t even mention Brian Gaine who we brought back after Houston (Bill O’Brien) fired him as their GM. Also, if Dawson, Boyd and Gray get GM jobs we get 3rd round compensatory picks in the next two drafts for each. I think it’s a stupid rule, but kudos to Beane for having a diverse front office BEFORE there was a reward for it. EDIT: I don’t think hiring diversely is stupid, at all. I’m a huge advocate. I just don’t like the compensation attached... it seems to create the wrong atmosphere. I don’t have the solution though, at least the league is trying. Edited November 30, 2020 by JGMcD2 4

Clearly McDermott does not answer to Beane, but they also clearly collaborate and both answer to the Pegulas, who luckily allow them to do their thing. 2

I just don't think he is nearly ready enough, IMO. Hope I'm wrong, I really like the guy.
