1) Kyle just got promoted last year, and given RR's general attitudes, I choose to believe that he has laid out his vision, and if there is a promotion path for Kyle

2) Multiple organizations are interviewing and hiring staff from other teams for open GM slots. Kyle's name has not been in the mix that I have heard.

3) While Kyle clearly has a solid track record in the organization for drafting, we have very little insight into his managerial abilities. I am reminded of the principle that one often gets hired one step above their abilities too quickly when they excel at a lower position.

4) It's Jan 16th, we have an amazing DLine, an up and coming WR/TE/RB, and we won the NFC East. Ron deserves the confidence that he will not purposefully tear down a major player in those accomplishments on a whim and without a plan.

- I reserve the right to retract all of this if Kyle is released/smeared/tarred and feathered by the owner

First, my that statement isn’t a knock against Ron.

I’m not saying this your points aren’t correct. But what football people says outside the organization matters...Especially those coaching teams to Super Bowls ie Kyle Shanny, McVay, and possibly Matt LaFleur who were once with the all with the org. They are big fans and they each know talent.

Too me, it’s a what have you done lately league. So Hurney or Mayhew are auto trash hires imo. Hiring them to lose Kyle...big fuckin mistake.

Kyle On talent eval in the draft, as well as free agency I’d say he’s done a great job especially in an org that has mismanaged everything.

I’d give him a GM interview because he has simply earned with this team..it then becomes an opportunity to say, “this isn’t the time, here’s what we’d like to see more of” but how about a re-title, bump in pay, etc type discussion.
