What do you want to see in our next QB?

What questionable GM-type decisions has he made? I agree from a coaching aspect he has sent some mixed signals, and was unorthodox with his use of timeouts early on, but I don't get the feeling that he and Kyle Smith can't handle things. My guess is Kyle is the GM next year, but I don't see roles changing drastically.

our "bad" signings were small and not even that bad:

- LT Cornelius Lucas, 3m 1 yr and havent heard his name at all
- LR Thomas Davis Sr - 37 yrs old, 3.5M, no problem bringing a vet in

good signings:
- CB Fuller - 4/40M looking like a great signing.
- CD Darby, 1 yr 4M, i think he has earned his money, starting CB2
- G Schweitzer - 3yr/13.5M, his cap hit jumps to 5 next year but we can cut him after this year, probably Scherff replacement imo
- not signing Ereck Flowers, so happy about that. he might be playing well but hes not worth 10 or so a year, no where close imo. I think Schweitzer gives better production imo.

Trades:
- Trent for a 3rd and 5th (looking good)
- Dunbar - only got a 5th but he wanted to be paid, FA next year, injured for Seattle. Injury prone and doesnt play through pain. I honestly wouldnt pay him the league minimum, I hate those players a la Doctson.


They did offer Cooper but only 23M guaranteed, I truly think they did that to try and drive up cowboys price bc they knew he wouldnt accept 23M guaranteed.

Yeah, I think Kyle Smith is the defacto GM and I imagine he will be named as such this offseason. I dont think they made any bad decision.

Alex Santos, our perv former pro personnel guy, have we replaced him? He was the head of scouting pro players, I imagine thats an important position for FA.

Both the free agent corners have played well, Darby May have earned an extension.

Wes Schweitzer should start in Schreff spot next year. Schreff hasn’t earned a big deal...if people say Dunbar too injuried too extend, then BS falls into that category as well.

I'm not saying he made a ton of questionable decisions, I'm just suggesting HC and GM rolled into one is risky and unnecessary. For this season OK, but I agree with appointing a GM as soon as.
