SouthernJet Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Albert Breer @AlbertBreer Eagles name Tom Gamble VP of player personnel. Wow. Huge coup by Philly. Details odd. Lateral from SF? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustInFudge Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 He left for a lateral position? Or was he a Director before? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unbanmadmike1 Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Wait I thought he was a moron who couldn't get a job because of some nonsense having to do with him interviewing. Looks like two smarter people than anyone employed by the Jets, Loria and Kelly, disagree. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bitonti Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 two smarter people than anyone employed by the Jets, Loria and Kelly, disagree. should we give Idzik a chance before writing him off? Chip Kelly is an exciting name and certainly smart but no NFL track record to speak of... Loria also has his well documented flaws. Grass is not always greener.

The main reason that he was such a big name on this site was his supposed skill in scouting and personnel decisions, yet his team let him leave to another NFC team right before the combine and draft, something's up with that. Trent Baalke is clearly the mastermind of their personnel decisions and I think this gives credence to the idea that he was a lesser cog than most originally thought. Regardless of whether he's a flop or not is irrelevant, as Idzik is our guy and hopefully he can come through for us. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SenorGato Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 Jet fans on Gamble: I don't know who he is or what he does, but that man was with the latest hot team so he's got to be amazing. The 49ers went to the SB ffs! How can non-prodigies be involved with that situation? Jet fans on Idzik: We hired him? WTF! How is he going to replicate the success of the Seahawks over here with this stupid franchise?! What an idiot! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jetsjetsjetss Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 .... well now we know he isnt all that at least. left the 49ers before the draft for same position on a sh*tty team Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#27TheDominator Posted February 13, 2013 Share Posted February 13, 2013 I'm not so sure why everybody is so fired up about the 49ers talent evaluators. They drafted near the top for ages and many of the players people started to like were considered busts - Vernon Davis and Alex Smith. It seems that coaching and Baalke's recent ascension had more to do their success than a guy that had been there since '04. Gamble's job description with SF reads like "in charge of mini-draft." I think people like him because he is a Polian guy with ties to a recently successful team, but that is not enough to run an organization. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I dont really remember what his exact deficiency was but he needed more proven worth in a certain area. I know he has been everything from ball boy to vp of something something. cant really recall what it was but to be the head guy, he needed more. short term memory FML.
