    I'm pretty real sure you should leave player and personnel decisions to the professionals. You are just some joker on a forum that doesn't have 1 billionth of the knowledge a GM does about football.

    Defending the signing, though... excellent use of time?

    Aren't we all just wasting time here?

    While I don't think that's necessarily true... I don't think GMs throw darts and pick up a player that it sticks to either. These guys make decisions that they think are good for the team. Sometimes it doesn't work out that way. I'm sure every person on this forum has liked a player that didn't turn out as expected. Also, its easy to say who you like and would pick up/draft sitting at home...when in reality it has to work from a business stand point and the player has to be willing to play for your team and other variables. Being a GM in real life is probably much harder than being a forum GM. :D

    I don't think it's true at all. I just like to call out Toronto on it cause he likes to use it annually, or really anytime someone says this is what I would do as GM.

    Pretty sure to him GM is an unattainable status of athlete evaluator that the common person couldn't possibly comprehend, whereas I think the draft evaluation part of it is something that many many people could do without difficulty and that some could do at a more successful rate than gms even with the additional tools at a GMs disposal.

    And regardless it's a forum so we should all be here to read opinions on players or wtf is someone doing reading a football forum??? If you want pure news there are places to get that.

    NFL GM's have a lot more resources than fans who carefully follow the game, they should be worlds better at this stuff, but they really aren't...

    Ours in particular have sucked in recent years. But GM'ing certainly isn't as easy as we fans try to make it out to be. We all have an opinion on pretty much every player/topic. So it's easy to sit here and point out a whole bunch of times we were "right" while forgetting about all the many times we were wrong.

    Well there is also the difference between "GM'ing" and deciding which draft picks to select and which free agents to target. But if you can get that part right, the rest can be done as well.

    There's a bit of math involved too.
