Wrong. It a matter like this, style counts. Mass texting, trash talking,clandestine PR wars and slinking out of town with $4 mil in unearned dollers is not how a leader acts. It's how a selfish, untrustworthy egotist acts. In the end, he didn't do what's best for himself because he is exposed as a man with severe character issues and as someone you don't trust with coaching an NFL franchise. He pocketed $4 mil at the expense of his reputation. Like Mastershake, I'm done with trashing DM, but please no revisionist views of a good guy just doing what's best for himself.

The first great branch of the Marrone coaching tree!

Nice work OP and nice discussion. I am of the mindset that we end up doing what Marv Levy said, get better around the QB. TC in STL makes good points as well. It's stupid to give away the future in picks and trades for a marginal qb. I'd rather sign Sanchez and get some decent coaches in here. There is better talent on our O than we showed this season.

I've officially lost count of how many Watkins trade threads there are currently active. What's one more I guess.

And this draft thread has turned into yet another Watkins trade thread. There are about a dozen to choose from now.

It's tricky. Find a HC that wants to keep the current DC and school EJ. After all thise interviews I wouldn't be surprised (or upset) if they went with Schwartz and hired a Trestman as OC.

He's young, durable and still improving. He's what every team wants, a pass rusher who's a complete player. 20 sacks in 17 games and 9th best against the run for LDEs. Don't di*k aound and sign him.

Just when i got done reading the 2,800 posts on the Sammy Watkins trade, yet another Watkins trade thread. Maybe I'll start an E.J. thread.

I'm in Rochester. The wind chill is currently -20 degrees. Welcome to the board but keep your present weather conditions and temperature to yourself.

Glad, but don't confuse activity with results.

No revisionist musings here. Time to move on and that has to include Hackett. If he is an offensive genius, it must be with Madden because it sure as hell isn't with real players.

Shanny's time has come and gone. Time for him to park it on the porch with a glass of Snapple and let the kids have the sandbox.

Also, not to be a know it all, but it wasn't that he didn't like parfaits, he just despised the cherry on top.

In! Didn't you see the Marrone/puppies thread yet? It was right after the Marrone/parfit thread merge.

Wow, one year in and you know that! Impressive. Did you have RG3 and Kaepernick on the HOF as well? Time will tell.

Nope. There are many a big turnaround stories with such changes.

Some of those owners in Washington are also defacto GMs. The Shanny situation is an example of a dysfunctional system. I prefer a HC answering to the GM but with contact with the owner. Otherwise there's a automatic power struggle.

Hackett HC and Wanny as DC. Dream team.

What if Napoleon had B-1 bomber at Waterloo?

Dadgummit, show me the baby pal, you don't know whatchure yakkin' about.

Stupid thread.

In.

That's a bad omen. Automatic power struggle. Particularly with a guy like Shanahan. You got to be wary about him after that spectacular flame out in Washington.

We have have a promising and talented young GM. It's his time for him to be the bottom line and have control of football decisions. His moves to date have been more good than bad. And we still need to see Sammy and EJ fully play out. I'd rather have DW make the coaching call than a committee with individual agendas. If this is TP's plan, I'm good with it.
