    Bill O'Brien

    Not a good HC, but as GM he is almost on the level of Matt Millen

    Better late than never. Too bad they already lost a whole lot before they did though

    When you look at his moves as GM, he really did that team so wrong...

    I get sad when I see guys like him and Hue Jackson get fired...

    I don't think he's the type but I hope if Tomlin ever insists on being GM they let him walk. Name one situation where is has worked out. These clubs are idiots to not have some checks and balances

    I think Andy Reid May have been GM (or a facsimile there of) in Philadelphia for quite sometime. That worked out as best it could...I guess...

    He was, but they never won with him like that as a matter of fact they were dominate from 2002-2004 and choked in the playoffs until finally reaching the SB in 2004, where McNabb choked again (although this was at the height of the Patriots cheating).

    I really think the Steelers would have made the SB in 2004 and crushed the Eagles if the Pats didn't film both teams and know all their signals.

    The Eagles won and they were very successful. Did they win a Super Bowl? No. But Reid was a successful GM/Coach.

    Growing up in Philly most of my friends are Eagles fans, and they hated Reid being both. Going off just what they are saying.

    I don’t know if that’s a whole. From Philly area as well and a lot of them hated that they were “choking” at the time but a lot of them liked Reid and would take him back over Andy Reid Lite...

    That’s my take as well. Timeouts and click management were the big gripes. Still a bit of a problem for Reid, but they’re winning so big it doesn’t matter.

    Reid the GM certainly brought in some talented players. WR was a bit of an issue, but more good than bad.
