[Hawkeye0202]

BTW.....I happen to agree, Jerry is top 10, min.

 

[DUO_CORE]

I would have put Al Davis ahead of JJ.....still...

 

[HanD]

Lol explosion coming.

 

[Hardline]

Jerry's name is only there to generate clicks.

I call bull shiet

top 10 owner. maybe. GM...28 plus years of futility say otherwise. I wonder how much Jerry paid him.

the wrath and ire of Jerry is palpable and real. This article proves it.

 

[Havic]

Erm, Will McClay is pretty much the GM tbfh.

Well he does have 3 Championships in his first 5 or 6 years.

Can't just disregard that.

Winning championships is not easy.

actually true.

 

[Aerolithe_Lion]

Gutenkunst is not a better GM than Schneider

Yes, but the free agent philosophy strictly belong to Jed and Jed Jr. McClay just has to work within its constraints. When it comes to the draft, I believe that's pretty much McClay's baby as long as he can keep Jerry from getting in the way, which seems to be the case now.

I'd say McClay is a top 10 GM prevented from being higher on the list because he's handcuffed to Jones.

And he has one of what is it, only two teams to not make it to a championship game in the last 20-plus years.

You're on my top ten list for Delusion...

 

[JayFord]

If you take Jerrys last 5 years as a GM then yes

GM puts talent on the field and fields competitive teams and Jerry has done that actually outside of 2000-2002 jerry has always had talent on the field and been in the mix for playoffs outside of some injury riddled years

now the issue is hes been GM for over 30 years and hasnt had postseason success since the 95 season

now if you judge him off that alltogether thats when it gets dicey

I doubt they are going back to the 90’s or the past 20 years. I’m sure these ratings are current, meaning very recent years. Otherwise, Philly surely isn’t there. Jerry has done a top 10 job as gm the last few years. Early on, he was a great owner and poor gm, learning on the job. Lately, he’s been a very good gm, but a lousy owner because he can’t keep his mouth shut and stay in the background.

Those are Jimmy's not his.

 

[J12B]

Well didn't he hire Jimmy?

 

[Havic]

Yes, but Jimmy evaluated the players and drafted them.

Jimmy was in charge for most of that time frame.

Defining, judging or grading GM's needs to be defined by what you consider successful.

There is a big difference between on the field and off the field success. Then there is the time factor. Last 3 years? 5 years? 10 years? More?

I see Veach is #2. That is laughable to me. He got lucky and Reid fell into his lap. He did trade up for Mahomes. Quick - someone name his 3rd best move.....

The Dallas Cowboys are the most valuable sports franchise in the world. Their GM should get big kudos for that. But on the field success???

Belichick has a bunch of Lombardi's, yet he isn't in the top 10?
