Posted May 16 Big loss in the front office, his experience was valuable and I´m sure he's helped TD a lot. Looks like he wants to be a GM again, and I think he'll get a chance soon. Vaughn tweeted that he had big influence in the pick of Lindstrom. Falcon from E, JDaveG, dardan and 11 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 16 His resignation is is going to hurt a little, but I think Quinn and TD will still be able to get the talent we need in the FA and the draft. Cole World likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Posted May 16 Huge loss to the FO, but it happens. No team can hoard all the talent, and we've had more than our fair share of late. citsalp, VTCrunkler, BoomGoesTheDynamite and 10 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 16 Man this one sucks but good luck to Pioli going forward. I'm glad they loaded up on OL this year. Should be in a good position going forward to weather this. Flyin' In DC, Tim Mazetti, Cheap Talk and 4 others like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 16 I do think that one of TD's major mistakes was not doing a good job of replacing his ***'t GMs when they left for GM jobs. late in the Smith regime. Pioli was a great hire, hope TD has learned his lesson and finds a good replacement. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That can be replicated but coaches can be stubborn azzes sometimes. PokerSteve, red falcon, BoomGoesTheDynamite and 1 other like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The FO must have known about this for months. I wonder if that’s why they doubled down on OL this year. Pioli is great at evaluating the line so use his insight while you got him VTCrunkler, red falcon and Cole World like this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 16 There is still a lot of knowledge front office wise. As others have said TD struggles with offensive line. We loaded up this year perfect timing Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many teams have had multiple front office personnel poached to be a GM elsewhere since TD has been GM? Very few. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Posted May 16 Good Luck to him. It was great addition after the Falcons lost LEs Snead and Caldwell. Hope TD has a good beach. Cole World likes this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
