Some of us are old enough to know the works of these dudes collectively. IMO Ireland ain't no Franshise GM (at least yet).

So what do you think?

Is Ireland at the top, middle, or bottom of the current GM pool?

OK, I'll bite.

I'd put Jeff mid-pack + a few ticks. Definitely not in the top but nowhere near the bottom either.

Bobby Beathard built championship teams in 2 out of 3 tenures (Miami and Washington) and did a great job in San Diego as well. He’s definitely one of best ever.

Joe Thomas built the original Dolphin core (Czonka, Griese, Kick, Mandich et al) and was at the Top during his tenure with Miami.

So we can only hope Ireland can grow outside the seemingly small box he operates in and learns how to truly evaluate talent as opposed to specs (i.e., decisions based mostly on “size”).

You'll bite on your own topic?

Bottom. Has not done well in the draft with all the picks we have had. I will give him kudos on Bess, Wake & Misi(probably was listening to this list on Bess and Misi!)

Yea. I kind of pulled a John Beck move there.

LOL.

I figured you'd come up with something better than that.

3/10

3/10 THAT high?

Wow. Thanks!

Well you lost points when I realized that you probably have two accounts on here so you can post something, then act like somebody else agrees with you.

I mean why else would you "bite" on your own topic?
