Who should be the next GM?

[Bretsky]

a trade for Schneider would be the absolute best thing for Green Bay. the fact that sea knows he wants out might make things happen. fingers crossed for this!!

[pbmax]

A lot of talent but a lot of baggage there.

But if you're going to be a practicing alcoholic, Wisconsin is the place to be.

Its a risk. Maybe you just make him chief scout if he's still going to drink. Send him out on the road with a driver.

[Bretsky]

Fit in scheme, yes. How much left in tank or attitude? Only if they coached them.

Yet still one step above a Cappie Joe

[Bretsky]

If I am Russ Ball and I lose BG or EW, I hire Scot to run college scouting and pipe in on the draft.

AM I THINKING OF THE WRONG GUY....or is he same one who went on and essentially lost his job due to boozing....not that there is anything wrong with that...don't want Red mad at me.....lol

Baseball never thought it was going to be run by numbers guys either.

Both Wilde and Silverstein thinks its a road too far to get Schneider.

SOME INTERESTING FEATURES

One big question is whether Murphy’s pursuit of Schneider, Oakland’s Reggie McKenzie (turned down the interview), Minnesota’s George Paton (interview denied by the Vikings while they’re still in the playoffs) and Baltimore’s Eric DeCosta (no reports that he accepted the interview) is part of a real search, or a formality with Murphy knowing all along whom he’s going to hire

AND THEN...........
I can see why coach Mike McCarthy would have concerns about Ball as GM, as has been widely reported in the last couple days. One NFL source told me that Thompson and Ball have been in lockstep on the team’s approach to acquiring players, which is the most draft-oriented approach in the NFL

I've seen it written that it would take a 1st or 2nd round pick to land Schneider IF we could

Can I make that Call ?

DEAR PETE.....Bretsky here; we'd like to send you a 2nd round draft pick for Schneider

Bretsky, I think we can make that work

Thanks Pete, Jason Spriggs is on a plan for Seattle; he'll be there in about a half hour.


Thanks for your business.

It would be an absolute damn shame to give up a draft pick just to get a GM, I don't care who it is.

Chris Trapasso @ChrisTrapasso
If Green Bay offers Schneider control over 53-man roster — which I don’t believe he has with #Seahawks — Seattle can’t deny this.


The guy is a legitimate reporters (or, at least works for legitimate outlets). Whether he knows what he is talking about here is anyone's guess.

BTW, there is a feeling in Seattle that Schneider's best drafts were with Scot McCloughan in the room.

Scot McCloughan

NOT exactly Russ Ball.

Hell, if ya want a good guy hire somebody from the forum.

I can find you a Cappie Guy if Ball leaves.
