Brandon Beane has been promoted to assistant GM. He was the interm GM before 'The Godfather'. D.G is no spring chIcken and his weight may be a problem in the years to come. Really wouldn't like another non football guy running the show. Big part of Getts ability is his football savy and finding talent. Think it would be a big mistake to go that route again and rely on a front office guy to take the helm. They should have learned from the Hurney mistake that this doesn't work.....opinions?

​This promotion definitely makes it seem like he is in line to be Gettleman's successor.  I'm not sure how I feel about this.. It will be sad when Gettleman's time is up, so I will be scared that whoever we replace him with just wont be the same..  On one hand, it might be good for our next GM to be someone who has worked with Gettleman and has learned from him..  On the other hand, I totally agree that Beane not having the same type of experience and background as Gettleman makes me nervous..Bottom line is that their probably wont be another candidate like Gettleman.. Guys like him dont come around often, so having someone that can learn from him might be our best option.

I get the feeling it's more like the Giants assistant GM.

The Giants have a guy with that title, but he doesn't have a scouting background. He does some of the 'grunt work' but if the time came to replace Jerry Reese, it'd be Marc Ross taking the job while the 'Assistant GM' stayed where he's at.

Pretty sure Dave Gettleman will have a lot of say in who his successor is. I'd be extremely shocked if it was a guy who didn't have scouting  experience.

You won't find a harder worker than Brandon Beane.  So maybe this is a nod to him for that hard work and helping bridge the gap between Marty and Getts. Maybe this is a way for him to learn more from Gettleman and who knows what they do when he retires. Would you rather they not prepare him for the possibility? What happens if Gettleman retires abruptly and there are no great options out there?

Besides, the average huddler thinks they can be GM.

So you're saying because he wasn't born and raised a scout he's not qualified? A guy can't learn? This poo isn't neuroscience lol

      Crazy stat

      By Luuuuuuuuuuke59 · Posted

      The bottom lines to me are that a) we played well enough to beat the best team in the league and b) Bryce Young is growing into a bridge QB role (his ceiling) for us. As much as I don't want BY around after the season, it seems DC can still build the O with a game manager at QB for now. Best case scanario, we can build the D through the draft this year and take a QB we have conviction outside the 1st this or next draft. If BY keeps improving, we are going to win a couple more games this year.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By *FreeFua* · Posted

      Bryce has been a completely different QB since coming back. That started in Denver where it was obviously he was playing a lot more loose and willing to push the ball downfield  Bryce continues to build off of the previous weeks performance and that’s what you want to see Bryce has been making some real good anticipation throws. Reading defenses well. Pushing the ball downfield (7 throws of 20+ air yards yesterday. 8 if you want to include PI to Thielen). The deep ball accuracy has been there. Some of Young’s best throws yesterday were incompletions. Sideline balls to XL and Moore both should’ve been caught. RZ dot to Tremble should’ve been caught. And another RZ ball to Moore that Young gave him a chance at. Bryce is starting to execute Canales offense and yesterday Canales finally opened it up a bit. Canales was to blame for the 126 passing yards in Germany as he played a more conservative game.  The next bit I’m looking for his for Young to be a bit more decisive with running the ball. Start putting that on film and it’ll help open things up a tad

      Gameday Thread: KC-CAR

      By 45catfan · Posted

      This KC team isn't the juggernaut it once was.  How many one score games have they won this season?  How many of those one score wins would probably have been loses if Mahomes wasn't the QB?  Their secondary is vulnerable and it was obvious today.  Grandpa Thielen was able to get open at will all game long. Bryce played well, but thinking this is the exact same KC defense Young was able to move the ball against as last year isn't going to compute.  Last year's KC defense was #2 overall.  They have regressed. I've said it before, Bryce can move the ball before the red zone, but once there, he struggles.  He is not a threat with his legs and the passing windows get much tighter.  He's not turning the ball over, so that is a great place to start and build upon.  I still question much better he can get.  Beyond a game manager?  I highly doubt it.
