JLC: Front Office Rumblings?

[freddyg12]

Interesting commentary at the end of the article, JLC says the Skins have competent scouts but the mgmt. structure is the problem. Of course, we all know it's a problem, guess it's a question of; who exactly came up w/the idea to trade for Brandon Loyd?

or T.J Duckett... or Archuletta...

I think the problem up there is that no one guy is calling the personel shots, the blame is spread around, so no one can get singled out for a bad decision. In that case, the normal tendancy is to pass it down the line.

What's that old sayin.....SH*T runs down hill? We need a GOOD GM to work with Joe. Not that they got along all that well but something in the fashion of a of BB type, he was GOOD at getting in the talent.

yeah, definitely ARch as well.
Duckett I'll exempt fromt that list as he played well enough & was brought in under desparate measures. I don't agree w/the trade, but that's a mgmt. issue, more than a scouting issue.

I realize the 2 - mgmt. & scouting - are interlinked, I just wonder who actually originates the ideas. Loyd & AA are both pros & had been in the nfl for a few years. There was plenty of scouting info out there on them. Yet, Rexi, the Warpath's resident 49er fan, knew more about Loyd than our front office it seems!

That was the most important piece of that article, to me. I know many people have said our scouts are worthless, but I'd have to go on JLC's word here and place the blame with Vinny and/or management.

"...I know the Skins have some very competent scouts in their ranks; it's the personnel paradigm that's awry."

Maybe JLC has a beef with Vinny or management, because he also says the organization is "top-heavy", and that the scouts are not to blame. It kinda sounds like he has some bias, but who knows?

If we do go after a GM, does anyone have any idea about who the candidates would be?
