I was mostly joking about Spielman naming himself gm but they could do a lot worse 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The leadership and structure is way more important to me, and I think Bob Myers knows that very well. Hey, when the Browns did this they hired Paul Depodesta from the Oakland A's Moneyball team and everyone laughed at it because he wasn't a 'football guy'. I remember the jokes that were flying from talking heads on TV vividly. He then had a hand in hiring Andrew Berry and Kevin Stefanski from their 'search committee' who stand a chance at winning executive of the year and COTY this season. Sometimes bringing in people from other sports gives fresh eyes on a situation and it turns out great. Essentially eliminating the possibility of hiring a bunch of retreads who have been in the NFL forever and are apart of the drinking buddies boys club Edited January 8 by AkronsWitness 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There's a reason front offices are more amenable to tanking, and aren't making all of the same mistakes the Astros/Cubs did when they started advertising about it 15 years ago. They've learned from a few of baseball mistakes. Edited January 8 by ramssuperbowl99 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted January 8 Share Posted January 8 I don’t know if everything pays off, but Washington fans have to love the aggressiveness this ownership group seems to have for making the team better. I’d be excited, if I were them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So what are we just going to have computers and analytics running the team now?' It was awful to listen to. Meanwhile Depodesta has quietly been Chief Strategy Officer for over 5 years now and everybody conveniently forgets he is there still now that we are winning lol I hope the best for Washington Edited January 8 by AkronsWitness Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
