I thought of that too.  But I believe it's just that he is so easy going and it's probably a reason he works so well with others.  I'm sure he wouldn't have earned so much respect if he wilted whenever confronted with a different opinion.  So I think he'd be fine.  

I said elsewhere he comes across like the smartest guy in the room, the guy you could ask a question about anything to and he'd be able to answer it. Heck, he could probably tell you the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow (whether African or European).

But the reason he's that smart is because he's a tireless worker who goes out and puts in the time evaluating prospects till he knows everything he needs to know.

The more we talk, the more it reinforces him as the guy I really want.

I'll be ok if Ireland or Schoen is the pick, but I have to admit I'd be fairly disappointed too.  I've kind of locked onto Peters as the guy.

No argument.

Ultimately, I just want us to get it right. Getting something like this wrong is a mistake that could take years to fix.

We've already lost enough years.

Yep.  And we have to remember that there's more than just one guy that can be a great GM.  Sometimes we get so caught up with who we want that we tend to downplay everyone else. 

But, as you said, we have to get this right, no matter who the choice is.

Matt Rhule has six seasons left on his contract. Any GM we hire has to be comfortable with keeping Rhule and working with him. Some GMs want the power to fire a Coach they don't trust. I don't think anyone can fire Rhule for at least 4 more seasons. 

GM/Coach relationship and power structure is one of the trickiest things in the NFL. It doesn't mean one side is right and the other is wrong. We can be successful without doing things Dodds way.

Maybe it wasn’t Rhule. Maybe he found Tepper to be a meddling owner

While "meddling owner" has an unnecessarily negative connotation to it, your general  premise very well could be correct.  

Tepper, as owner, will absolutely be involved in football decisions (some, not all)...it's just the way his model operates.  

There will be certain GM candidates who aren't comfortable with (i) having an involved owner, and (ii) being on the same level as the head ball coach vs. having the position as a direct report.  

Some GM candidates will only be comfortable in the archaic model employed most of the NFL.

You think there’s something not good going on here that he saw or maybe Tepper is giving more control to Rhule and Dodds wanted all control? 

It's hard not to believe that he saw something he didn't like.

What that is? Hard to say.

      I remember the Huddle consensus over the course of last season and the previous one. Lots of Bryce is a bust, we should've drafted a 4th slot WR, should've kept Wilks, should've kept an armless Cam, etc etc. So... yea... already thought about that. I wouldn't trust the Huddle to detail my car, let alone run a multi-billion dollar professional sports team. 😛

      bold prediction, I think Mike Green will be the best pass rusher in this class, and thats even with abdul carter.  He reminds me of demarcus ware, not just in size and prowess, but even coming from a Sunbelt school (Ware from Troy, Green from Marshall).  I think he is passionate about the sport where I think Carter as the physical freak might not have the heart.  Thats the guy Im sold on and am gonna hammer the table for, I know he's not projected 8, but he is projected like 12-13, so if a slide back can happen and we still get the guy I want, I'm 100% on board. All that said, it takes 2 to tango, I think the Cowboys are the tango-er.  IMO theres a VERY good shot that Jeanty is available at 8.  Why does that matter?  Not only do the cowboys NEED a runningback (dak sucks without a run game), but MORE importantly, gee where did Jeanty play in high school.....Frisco TX, literally Dallas Metro.  Soo, RB is a position of need and the best RB and most blue chip draft selection that  could improve the offense immensly played IN dallas metro AND will be in range for them to move up and pick?  Do ya think Jerry Jones is gonna just say no to the Jersey Sales?  Jerry might have sexually assaulted a woman and attempted to prevent black people from going to school, but he's no idiot (he is).  IMO, we get a good enough package, prlly their first and third,  maybe a conditional later and we move to 12.  We get Green, they get Jeanty, everbuddy happy.
