Confirmed Zo gone to NE

[Bender]

You given any thought to the direction we go in the draft? There's a part of me that wants to see us trade for Fields and grab MHJ at 3. Another part of me that wants Daniels at 3. Also wouldn't hate a trade out of 3 if they're not in love with the QB prospects if we can get a one next year from a team like Minnesota that may be looking to move up.

Ask me after free agency. I think it will be telling for us to see which spots are filled and which aren't.

But the overall direction seems to be the Packer Way, which has been find and evaluate good talent and develop them to the point where they contribute well late in their rookie contracts.

****, that one hurts.

the guy that sells life insurance and is on wife 2?






/let see how many porsters get the reference.

Like you… he takes pills too

 

[JHallCanes]

It’s like “journalists” and “insiders” can’t help their tics by saying things that try and let everyone know they knew things first

 

[Canezum5]

Rats fleeing a sinking ship. He knows Mario ain’t it.

At first glance this is a nice lil analogy. In hindsight, it makes no sense.

Rats fleeing a sinking ship is certain death. Zo got a promotion. **** dont add up

It sounded good when i said it out loud, tho. Ill give you that.

Initial score: 6

Adjusted score:2( 4 point deduction for your board name)

This is a big loss. I liked having a professional talent evaluator, that gave us a leg up on everyone else in CFB.

Evaluation is as important as recruiting.

 

[JZCane0825]

Barry just can't help himself. I'm honestly shocked he hasn't been banned from the Hecht by now.

 

[calinative umstudent]

He basically goes to be a top NFL guy and called a well respected evaluator around the league and we got people here that make jokes about him evaluating recruits and his place here lol.

 

[Ironmanfootball]

LOL so his mysterious tweet was an I'm outta here warning

I thought he was an OLD SKOOL tough guy... mysterious social media stuff 14 year old 7on7 legends do?! NO way!

 

[hoops156]

He’s 58. Not exactly young and a lot of gms are younger and younger in the nfl.

He’s not an old guy, and at his age, for someone that is career minded, where was he going to go? What was his path to promotion at Miami? Athletic Director? That position is currently filled, and not likely to change in the near term or midterm, I would guess.

I’m sure he wants to move up the ladder like any ambitious person. Anyone that thought he was going to be here for the rest of his career just doesn’t understand people that are ambitious.

Good for him.

I hope he ends up being an NFL general manager somewhere, at least higher up the ladder in the NFL. The NFL has been most of his professional experience, as I think a few of you might know.

the I’ll

Can we expect Miami to fill the void with another “GM” or not?

Belichick is looking for a job

 

[mcnaire2004]

At least those who spent years shouting to hire Alonzo as a GM type got their wish. Now we can move on.

 

[Empirical Cane]

Well then. We have ourselves a situation it appears.

[bolomite21]

Put Butch in his place. Ultimate talent evaluator.

 

[Ziggy]

Seems like Zo was a glorified advisor and not a true GM. Him being in the building daily was a win even if he was ultimately reporting to Mario every day. I don't blame him for leaving for an NFL gig but let's not act like he's going to be the Pats GM and calling the shots there because he's not. Not sure if this is a loss or just further cementing that this is Mario's show and win or die with him.

 

[BoxingRobes]

Good for Zo.

Zo in Miami on paper seemed cool...but not sure there was a tangible benefit. Like...who were his finds?

 

[Imukat]

Ed waiting to come back in.

 

[canes_aaron]

Based on the reports of what his actual role was, seems as if the GM position is somewhat pointless. I guess it doesn’t hurt to have but nothing like a NFL GM

 

[TallyCaneFan]

Also interesting re: the tweet Zo had yesterday. Wish him the best personally as a Cane but F New England forever, as a fins fan since 1970

I'm with you on this one!
