This team has needed a GM for a while, and they still need one. There's just too much conflict with coaching players, selecting them, and determining their worth in order to pay them. There has to be one person who is objective, yet motivated to win. Coaches and owners want to win now. A GM would have the ability to take a step back and think like a builder.

If we win the Super Bowl next year, I'll say the same thing, because it's a proven model. No a GM won't suddenly transform our fortunes, but it will help us keep our eye on the ball. We've done everything unde the sun to right the ship except for this one area.

A GM won't solve all the ills of our front office, but it's a good way to have check and balances, control spending, and there's little if any conflict of interest. More than anything though, one person is accountable for the personnel decisions.

If three or four guys are involved, who do you chop when things go awry?
