You're The GM. What Do You Do?

[McMicah]

First thing ,
I would put a competent GM .

That’s you in this exercise

I wouldn’t have paid him either, but since he’s already paid, what would you do?

I'm opening a new bottle of Johnny Walker Blue, pouring me a nice size glass, and calling a few of my lady friends over. It's the bye week for goodness sake. We can worry about football next week. I like our team so there's no need to panic. We just need a mental reset.

Talking this season and next, Bring Tom Brady and Terrell Owens out of retirement. If Dak can't win any important games this season, bench him for Brady. Use Owens as a 3rd or 4th option receiver. If he looks good at the bottom, begin to move him up next to CeeDee.

Brady will take low money to try to bring Dallas back to glory. It's not entirely about money for Brady at this point anyways. Owens is an extraordinarily hard worker, who, in my opinion, can still play in the NFL at 51.

After making the NFC Championship/possibly win a Super Bowl with Brady, try at another and then eventually try to tank for Arch Manning.

Good thing I'm not a GM, lol.

LOL Owens at 51 will definitely get you that Archie Manning pick

I just fired myself.
Now I sit back and laugh at the problems the next guy has to solve

This is probably the best answer

I know we are critical of the FO and players after a loss, but I think this is an interesting time to ask what you would do if you were Jerry (or at least a protected GM). Let’s see what our community GMs would actually do at 3-3.
———————————————-
I’ll be cannon fodder first.

I’m selling…hard.
I just realized the SB window is fully closed, and my QB makes FA unaffordable for 4 years. That means Im getting rid of any player that will likely have lost their value in 4 years for whatever draft capital I can get.

Martin, DLaw, anyone older but with value, gone. Heck even Micah because he will be pulp in 4 years. I’m hoping this frustrates my QB into demanding a trade, and I’ll even pay his bonus on the way out if it nets me better picks.

Over the next 4 years, I’m drafting positions with longer lifespans. QB, TE, OL, IDL, S, and building a solid foundation while tanking (the Lions did this exact thing). Then I go all in skill positions, and begin the next window.

I’d rather do something radical now than hope we magically rebound into a new window with less talent than ever.

What would you do at 3-3 with major players injured and the team playing like this?

I’m on team sell.

Trade Micah at high value. Trade Diggs. Drive as much cap space creation and picks as possible and just reset.

We need to hire a coach that will drive disciplined execution of the system. Tired of watching our defense play tackle less football. Tired of our offense generating in essence zero rushing game and relying on a QB who in reality has two potential targets (Lamb and Ferguson).

I've seen you mention this before, but was Prasifka managing an Applebee's in the early 2000s that Stephen used to frequent or something?

So on brand, if so.

They are buddies from U of Arkansas.

Adam's expierience before being placed in charge of the salary cap was as a trainer/server at Marketplace Grill and equipment manager at University of Arkansas.

Sounds like a huge no talent success story. Much like Stephen Jones.

I just knew this debacle would happen once they let Quinn go without a fight. Then when they brought Elliott back in, I knew this team wasn't serious.

I want both McCarthy/Zimmer gone. Both are overrated. However, I do think McCarthy deserve some credit in turning this team around. Jerry just put him in a position to lose.

 

[88sAndHeartbreak]

Some of yall are hilarious.

I would hire a team of innovative, high IQ football guys then fire myself. Because I know running a team like Im playing Madden won't work in the real world.
