Alex Halaby- Assistant GM of the Eagles.Who do you want the new GM to be?
It may seem like a given now, but there was a debate on who was better: Maye or Daniels. Some people wanted Maye on the Commanders's board. I've said it in numerous posts: I do not think Mick is going anywhere, but I will chime in if someone starts a thread about Mick. We are in bad shape right now, from top to bottom. I'm a realist, and most people on this board are not.I mean, what turned Washington around is drafting JD5 and then Quinn brought in a bunch of vets he liked to build a better team culture. I'm not sure the GM had a lot to do with that other than drafting JD5 which I thought was a no brainer since I thought he was by far the best QB in that draft.
Anway, I want Loomis to move on and I want a new young GM, but the truth is that even if you go get a guy from one of the top organizations for the last 5 or 10 years, there is still no guarantee that he's going to be any good, much less better than Loomis. He'll certainly be different, but maybe not better.

Draft well, draft well, draft well. I don’t care who the GM is; just draft well.I mean, everyone thinks they are a realist. until proven otherwise But, one of the great things about football is that they play the games and at the end of the season, you find out who were the realists, optimists, and pessimists.
From my point of view, Loomis needs to fix the drafting process so we draft better and he needs to get the cap under better control. But, I do think we have a mediocre roster right now that with the right draft picks over the next year or two and the right coach can be a regular playoff team. I really think the major issue with this team was DA, and Loomis certainly gets blame for hiring him and keeping him to long, but the roster is better than it showed under DA. But, maybe it will turn out that I'm just a misguided optimist and you are the realist.
I think Loomis should move on and that he has many issues, but he isn't moving on for at least a few years. And despite that, I still think we can be back to being a playoff team in a couple years if we make the right hire at HC. Maybe I'm not being realistic, but I'd rather try to enjoy the ride and get disappointed in the end than hate the ride and be disappointed in the end.
Agreed on all counts. Not every draft has to be 2017 good but hit rates on top picks as position group leaders and later picks as quality contributors is key. Things go wrong for any number of reasons but they’ve gotta not try to outsmart the process in the process.Draft well, draft well, draft well. I don’t care who the GM is; just draft well.
Without DA in the picture, maybe we can improve the defense. Of course, that means we need a head coach and a defensive coordinator.
One of the top choices is still coaching in the playoffs. If it was February 23rd with no coach that’d be cause for concern. This could have been over in days if they wanted a guy from a non-playoff team very badly but the delay in this case is a good thing.I’m losing patience with the slowness of the hiring process, but that could be the caffeine.
This is a ludicrous take.To keep talent is beyond dispute. Why he hasn’t been dismissed is a mystery. It will not get better.

This is an odd statement on a fan forum. All we can do is look at different people's preferences and predictions and see who was wrong, right,. etc.I mean, everyone thinks they are a realist until proven otherwise. But, one of the great things about football is that they play the games and at the end of the season, you find out who were the realists, optimists, and pessimists.

Thanks for actually giving me a name, and not just more Loomis hate. I'm not against replacing Loomis but it has to be for the right candidateAlex Halaby- Assistant GM of the Eagles.
Mid 30's and worked his way through the ranks.

But I'd bet $$$ that the HC trumps all of the scouting dept. And when there's a disagreement ML sides with the HCExactly. There is a Director of Pro Personnel and Director of College Scouting both heavily involved, and now we also have Ziegler and Mueller as a part of the process.
It has always been a collaborative effort, with Mickey mostly just being the tiebreaker if all the men in the room, including himself, can’t agree on a move.
It's a collaborative effort, but Loomis's voice is extremely low in comparison to the HC and Ireland,I don’t believe that Loomis strictly does as the head coach says. I believe it’s always been a collaborative effort where compromise exists.
I find it hard to believe that during Payton’s entire tenure the only QB that he wanted to draft high was Patrick Mahomes. I’m purely speculating, but it’s quite odd that he never spent a first or second round pick on a QB with the Saints, but immediately drafts one in the first round with Denver.
Because he needed one. I mean... ??I don’t believe that Loomis strictly does as the head coach says. I believe it’s always been a collaborative effort where compromise exists.

Last I checked we needed one too.Because he needed one. I mean... ??
