Part of a gang that was charged under the Rico act. I believe Sammy's "out of pocket" is actually $100K

Since I think this thread is running out of steam... what if Chad Kelly is better than Peterman AND Mahomes? If Chad wins multiple SuperBowls with the Broncos, heads would be exploding all over this board. It would be like the scene from the movie Kingsman.

Wow, no doubt. He just wanted to meet an NFL player in person. That is BS, it is easy to guess where the money is coming from if his brother is a first round draft pick in the NFL. There is zero reason Sammy should have to leave his job to explain to a judge where his money came from.

Great list, but you realize that over half of the teams basically say it is a group decision. Not all the teams have one man "calling the shots", most don't.

What's the old expression, once you start listening to the fans you will soon be sitting with them? (Or something like that)

Is this a good time to say "trust the process"? 😜

Not if you're Ray Rice. If you are talented enough, someone will give you a shot eventually. If you are marginal and risk offending fans or sponsors, buh-bye.

I find this VERY hard to believe. Some teams it's the coach, some it's the GM and some it is the owner. And sometimes it is a combination of 2 or 3 of those. Teams don't usually disclose who has final say but fans and media speculate and assume.

i have a feeling the Cowboys may go for him at some point.

All I can say is wow.

I guess that is better than disrespectfully agreeing. 😃 The problem is, if the team did not believe there was a franchise QB available in the first round, let alone in the entire draft, would you have felt better if they took one at 10 and spent the next 2-3 seasons trying to make the pick work? I personally feel better knowing we have 4 QB's on the roster to evaluate this year and the ability to target a QB next draft with our 2 picks if no one stands out.

Maybe I am naïve, but I would assume that almost every successful franchise is run with a collaboration between head coach and general manager. The trick is that they to share a similar vision and have an understanding about how to get there. I agree there is no added benefit to losing a close one and we often spend time late in the season saying if only these 2 or 3 games had gone differently. But hopefully coaching can help close the gap in close games going forward. Time will tell. It sounds like you and I are in agreement regarding the GM, coach relationship.

That McDermott will be a puppet master for Beane. That appears to be what you are implying by saying he will ultimately get his way.

How exactly do we all know this? It is pure speculation on your part. Period.

So throwing a ball far is the only indicator of success for a QB?

We lost 6 games last year by one score. If we convert 2 of those this year because of better coaching or better play from some of our key playmakers, then we finish 9-7. Yes, I believe we were talented enough last year to have done better than we did.There is no way of knowing yet if the new system will be better than that of Rex and Rob, but there is definitely reason for optimism. As far as Beane goes, I have heard great things about his ability to evaluate talent, and I am sure he has already started looking at what we currently have, so I hope he is actively involved in the roster creation process.

Can we speculate who he would be sending them to?

So you would rather go 2-14 to get a "franchise QB" rather than go 10-6 and make the playoffs with the talent already on the roster? I can not get onboard with that. I am hoping our new system gets enough out of this years roster so that next years draft is adding to the vision already in place.

Peter Schrager on Good Morning Football this morning was praising the Brandon Beane hiring and said that he is widely considered one of the best scouting minds in the NFL. The more I hear, the more excited I get about this hire.

Not really. Peterman was not the pick that is tied to the Chiefs trade. The real question will be how Tre White does and what we do with the extra first round pick next year.

ugh, so sad. Prayers to CB.

oh please let this be true.

Isn't it possible/ likely, that they had this particular combo in mind for some time, but they had to get the coach first to allow him time to get started before the draft? They may have wanted Beane with him all along but had to wait to pull the trigger until after the draft?

Sorry, too many people around here making ridiculous comments, it broke my sarcasm filter. In my defense, others took it for genuine negativity as well.

many of us can.
