Time to put Howie back in the basement? - Discuss Howie Roseman here

[KOJO]

Note this thread was made before he just traded with the Cowboys & handed them their replacement for Frederick.

Don't put him in the basement... That leaves him in the building somewhere. He'd end up clawing his way back in to power.

His draft failures has messed up the future. Hes nothing but a glorified accountant. He should be no where near any player decisions

Hard to argue there... He does need to go.

No! That's too risky.

You’re right. Just permanently escort him out of the building.

Exactly. Him in the basement gives him an opportunity to worm his way back.

That's true. When I made this thread last year on old TATE and then again back in April I was still in favor of keeping Howie but just "putting him back in the basement" ala Chip Kelly.  At this point though, I think he needs to go.

The greatest thing Howie Roseman ever did was convince the world he was a top 5 GM based off one 1 flukey season where all his band aid retreads found the fountain of youth.  
 

people forget he’s been in a position of power with this organization since like 2008 and we’ve been pretty mediocre for the vast majority of his tenure.

He was massively lucky that the first thing Chip Kelly did as GM was argue with Evan Mathis over a contract, if Kelly had made peace with Mathis, signing a one cut runner like Demarco Murray might have worked better, as it was everything turned to crap, he lost the team and Wormtongue Howie managed to talk Lurie into reinstating him as GM after firing Chip.

His drafts have been HORRIBLE and his FA pick-ups (and lack thereof) have been pretty bad as well post Superbowl.  The Howie honeymoon is officially over.  Have the Howie fanboys migrated to this board as well?  Let's hear it.

Time's yours.

I think this should happen every other year, rinse and repeat. 😆

Howie has no business being over a draft.  Lurie needs to make 1 of 2 choices:

1. Fire Howie and get a real GM.  He won't do that.

2. Move Howie to a Joe Banner executive role handling cap, contracts and negotiations.  Hire a new VP of Personnel (Weidl needs to go) who will be over all scouting and set the draft board and decide the draft picks.  Phase Howie out, other people can do contracts.

 

[toughfighter83]

they should hire todd mcshay to be the gm.

They should consult this board in draft picks.  So many guys we agreed on that are balling in the NFL.

Simple rules should apply until the roster is replenished with young talent:

1. Steer clear of the PAC-10

2. If their mom was a hooker, they probably have a good pimp hand.

3. If they are unsure, draft a kid from Alabama

4. If they are still unsure, draft a kid from Clemson.

5. Physical talent with a healthy dose of crazy beats no talent with a good motor.

6. Did I mention, steer clear of the PAC-10?

7. Don’t ever draft anyone from a Dakota. 

8. Field a football team, not a boy’s choir

Re #7: I have no complaints about Goedert. 

[Captain F]

This basement maybe.

[Traveler Vic]

Instead of being reminded in every single thread about his picks and the immediate Cap future issues, we need a permanent Howie has to Go Post. We need to start collecting signatures before presenting it to Laurie and other media members, as the fans sentiment. I would hate DP being blamed for Howie's mistakes at the end of the season. It is imperative to Stop Howie from participating in any more draft selections, at the very least.

I’m glad he didn’t take Jefferson at 21. A possession slot receiver isn’t going to make this offense dynamic. A playmaker like Reagor will. 

Honestly, if I were running the draft I wold have targeted two players on offense and everyone else on defense, the two players would have been A.J. Dillion and Denzel Mims.

Jefferson plays on the outside for the rams. No way they would have taken Jefferson that high. Jefferson didn't go until the end of the 2nd.

Jefferson 5-76

Reagor 5-96

Meh, we had more pressing needs that draft.  Blind squirrel found a Dakota nut.
