Would you take Charley Casserly back as GM?

Eknox · 03-27-2009, 04:04 AM

I've been listening to him a lot on NFL Network, And maybe it's just me but he seems to still know his stuff and he makes a lot of sense with his evaluations.
What do you think?(if he was available)

KLHJ2 · 03-27-2009, 04:20 AM

Personally, I would like to have him back. I do not think that he would work for Danny and I do not think that Danny would take him back. He has had his share of blunders though the 1999 draft for instance.

I assume you mean prior to. That '99 draft was money. I mean at the top, Bailey and Jansen and net a 1st (2nd overall) the next year.

I meant the offseason moves leading up to the 99 Draft and the Draft itself. I cannot complain about Champ and Jon. But he traded away a first and a 3rd for Brad Johnson along with picks for other FA's. Then aquired all of the Saints draft picks in the "Ricky Williams trade" and came up with only two players. It still pains me to this day to think about it.

If you remember correctly we had no QB that year. Trent Green left for STL cause the ownership situation was a mess. If you ask me that was a damn good move as Brad had a pro bowl year and then went on to win a SB w/ TB. Back then BJ was not a top tier QB but he was more than serviceable.

I'd take Charley back over Vinny in a heartbeat but it will never happen. I heard Vinny on the radio this am and he simply DOES NOT have the knowledge or smarts that Casserly does. Casserly is on NFL Network and CBS and he just REALLY REALLY knows his stuff and you can tell why this guy rose from being George Allen's unpaid gofer, to an NFL general manager and TV consultant. If you listen to the two it's like night and day. Today Vinny was still backing the move for Jason Taylor saying, "he'd do the same thing all over again." What????? Sometimes I just shake my head in amazement that he's in the position he is in but it is what it is and Vinny isn't going anywhere.

Trent Green left because we would not give him the type of money he was looking for. Since he was a FA he decided to follow Martz to St. Louis. The decision basically blew up in all of our faces. Green gets injured and eventually replaced by Warner, and we let a tier 2 QB go because we would not pony up the dough. Of course if any of us had realized then what we had in Green, we would have never let him walk.

Brad Johnson did have a helluva year in '99 though, and we made the playoffs. But thanks to Danny we lost out on the chance for some stability at the QB spot for the next 5-6 years.

That he did, but in retrospect was it really worth a 1st and a 3rd round pick?

It might have been had we kept him around for more than 2 seasons.

Bastard got rid of Gus!!!!!! If you gave the guy some bona fide WR's and shore up the safety positions and D line to help Darrell we would have been a decent team for longer than '99!! Damn, we still need these things in '09!!!!!

No, all kidding aside Casserly would help us out a lot I think. Maybe actually formulate a real plan on bringing us back as a regular playoff team. The FO still seems to shoot from the hip come draft time.

not just yes but Hail yes. He is one of the better ones out their and for all of you Cerrato complainers.....who would you rather have.....Cerrato or Casserly? Who has the better record?

Daseal · 03-27-2009, 10:57 AM

Casserly keeps himself busy, I wonder if he'd even want to return to the NFL, especially the skins, at this point. He has a good TV gig, works at GMU, and has many other projects going on. I'm sure hes much less stressed out and still able to be active in the football community.

Actually he resigned from the Texans because he wants his next career move to be in the at NFL HQ in New York. I do not believe that he is interested in a GM job either.

I can't say CC has done anything to make me think he has the ability to be a good GM. Ever.
