pwny Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 A large oof. Shad Khan really does not understand the concept of a hard reset. Even after all that happened this year, he still found it necessary to promote from within. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s probably been buddying up to the Khan family for the last year to get to this moment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
49erurtaza Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Don't let him draft any players who are injured. Also don't let him draft any offesnsive players. He is really good at drafting defensive players basically at any position on defense and that's it. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only listen to Baalke on Defensive players. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.Buzz Posted January 20, 2021 Share Posted January 20, 2021 Reminiscent of Rhule/Hurney last year. Coming from college, needs an experience GM that knows the ins/outs. There's a reason why Pioli, Baalke, Rick Smith, Jerry Reese, etc. were the GMs interviewed. Only one without prior GM experience was Tony Fontenot. Super meh overall, but Urban will likely have plenty of influence on the guys he wants/types of players we target. Would be much more worried if we were pairing him with a young guy/someone with less control. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not like you're digging up Jerry Angelo, and hiring him or something, but Baalke is...well, he's an interesting choice... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Urban doesn't strike me as a guy who is going to take a back seat to anyone on assembling his roster. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he can just minimize draftings big risks with players who are injured he will be fine. But again only defenive players. He has a close connections to parcels. He buys into that thinking with the draft. Expect evey player you draft have the longest arms in the draft lol. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As I said, Urban has his values/players he likes, so I'm sure he'll have plenty of say in the draft board/getting the types that fits his style. We'll see how it goes. I feel like this is similar to Hurney for Carolina. Vet GM who understands the ins and outs (much more to a GMs job than the draft). Re-evaluate next year.

He REALLY rates arm length so don't expect to take any DL or OL with short arms lol. Offensively though? Yeah, not so good. Urban better take over that side of the ball completely and take the guys he wants. Edited January 20, 2021 by J-ALL-DAY 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
