GREENBEAN Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Interesting timing. How does the board feel about him after we’ve massaged the Douglas and Jeremiah ideas all day? Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Villain The Foe Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 IMO no way in hell any sane individual will step down from their current GM position with a talented team just because they couldnt wait to jump at the opportunity to be a possible candidate for the jets GM job. If he is looking to seek this job, then i would be worried about his reasons from leaving Atl in the first place Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RSJ Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I think Pioli would be a valuable addition to the front office. Sent from my iPhone using JetNation.com mobile app Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

14 in Green Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 I'd feel a lot better about Pioli. Not only is he a proven talent, at least with him as GM I'd feel like he was actually running things here. With Douglas, I can't shake the feeling that Gase would be behind the curtain pulling the strings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
section314 Posted May 16, 2019 Share Posted May 16, 2019 Isn’t it obvious that Gase is making this hire? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he is looking to seek this job, then i would be worried about his reasons from leaving Atl in the first place The Falcons went to the Super Bowl 3 years ago. 2 years ago they got in to the playoffs at 10-6 and then last year the team went 7-9 despite Ryan/Julio being healthy the whole year. They did suffer other injuries but they are not in a great cap situation and Ryan is losing some love around the league. Coming to a young team, with a very cheap franchise QB and some other good young players isn't that crazy. With that said, he wouldn't step down on the "chance" of getting the job, he would have waited until the Jets offered him the job. So there is likely something else to this situation. I know it's fun to bash the Jets, but if you are a potential GM candidate there are far worse situations to land than one with Sam Darnold in year 2.

"Sam Darnold" isnt the answer to every question, especially when you already have Matt Ryan, all of the facts written above which is still better than having one of the longest playoff droughts in professional organized sports...and you realize that you are leaving that willingly in order to work for one of the worst team owners with an unpredictable rogue head coach.

Great place to show you still have it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
