Eagles...Tom Heckert
Commanders...Vinny Cerrato (VP of Football Operations)

Bears...Jerry Angelo
Lions...Matt Millen
Packers...Ted Thompson
Vikings...Bob Brzezinski

Falcons...Thomas Dimitroff
Panthers...Marty Hurney
Saints...Mickey Loomis
Buccaneers...Bruce Allen

Cardinals...Rod Graves (VP of Football Operations)

Bengals...Mike Brown (President)

Jaguars...Paul Vance (Sr. VP of Football Operations)
Titans...Mike Reinfeldt

Broncos...Ted Sundquist
Chiefs...Carl Peterson (President)
Raiders...Mark Jackson (Director of Football Operations)
Chargers...A.J. Smith (Also Exec. VP)

If you spot an error on this list, please point it out.

Maybe it's just me but I think the hand wringing over who is the GM is a bit over rated. I don't think GMs are links ot success with very few exceptions. I doubt that Bill Polian or Scott Pioli are going anywhere and only Piloi of the current "GMs" has had the same success as Jerry, and even he is currently staring at Spygate, etc. Not even highly respected football guys like Carl Peterson or recently replaced Rich McKay are guarantees of success.

It is a misplaced focus. No matter who the GM is, it still comes down to coaching and execution on the field.

JMO.

You will just be told to replace Jerry's name with Jimmy .... that is the usual modus operandi of the agenda squad.

I'm surprised no comments about which GM we have to have.

:wink2:

I wish you guys had Matt Millen running your team. I think his resume speaks for itself....

When we had Jimmy, the drafts and trades were great.

When Jones hires Parcells, our drafts instantly turn around.

The other 10 or so years of the Jerry Jones era have been an abysmal failure. He's never done it without an all-time great running the show, so I have little faith it'll be different now. Hope he proves me wrong.

In title only could basically describe our "GM" when our SB teams were being put together.

But Jerry's got three SB's as GM - He basically did it in spite of Jimmy. Good thing Jimmy left when he did. ;)

The big difference being there's no doubt Jerry is calling the shots in Dallas. Whereas for all intents and purposes the "hands off" Director of Football Operations guy is calling them in Miami.

I noticed you had no bright ideas about a GM to bring in who is a great football guy.

Or can you actually offer some input for a change?

I'd love to have at least 3/4's of the guys you listed over what we have. As for guys who aren't already GM's who could do the job, I don't have a list of names, but I don't think it'd be tough finding several top level personnel men across the league who would make good GM's.

Thanks for evading the question and answering it at the same time.

Just jerking your chain.

I don't think 3/4 of them is exactly an answer though. JMO.

I can list the names of the 3/4's of them if you'd like, but I don't really see the point. It's not like we're going to get any of them here anyhow.

Yeah, I figured as much. But I see no reason in becoming a revisionist historian just because nothing is going to change.
