Well then, he's not a general manager, he's a cap manager...

A general manager knows to reign in a head coach and make him defend his personnel decisions...

And then I'd ask, who wanted Browner?!? Terry Fontenot, Director of Pro Scouting?!?

If Fontenot rubber-stamped the decision to sign Browner, then somewhere in there should be some accountability...

No, he is the GM but it has been declared by Benson, the owner, that Payton is running the whole show. If you have to point the finger at anyone for not reigning in Payton point it at Benson. In this organization the GM does not have the power to "reign in" the coach. Loomis is a cap manager, that is his strongpoint, and is part of the reason he is here. Loomis has a lot less control over team operations than most GMs in the league have, especially when it comes to personnel.

And I think the hiring of Irleand will help our scouting .

I have a feeling this means Lelito will get the lowest tender and we'll let him walk if another team offers him a deal. It sure seems like insurance in case another team is dumb enough to offer him starting guard money.

nder.

Not a chance Leito gets the lowest tender. We need 2 guards and even with the 2 million price tag im not sure they think Kelemete is a starter. I see 2 more guards coming in through FA or the draft.

I think paying him starting G money would not be smart also, but he's not bad as a C and a team might pay him a little better for that..

It's part of the BPA and camp competition scenario.

2nd round pick needs someone to back him up

hagan714 · 03-07-2016, 04:19 AM

he has been a pet project. so i guess i will sit back and watch his development for two more years. I am trying to see what exactly it is that gets him all of this love. maybe this will be a break out year

He was terrible at RG and was really the big reason while people thought Strief was struggling. He looked better at the end of the season however and did a serviceable job when he had to start instead of Armstead the last game. I hope he doesn't start but I think he can provide good depth for a game or two.

Seems a tad pricey for a back-up, spot starter.

Maybe because he can back-up all 3 interior positions?

Strange... we so seldom over-pay players.
