JP Finley tweeted that "I'm not surprised" but then he deleted it... So He must know something

Good week for Bruce. Voted 2nd worst GM by NFL.com and the least trustworthy by agents.
Schaffer for GM in 2019.

I think Jamf's point above:
Bruce is a politician, thats what they do.
...
Speaks to why he is seen as untrustworthy. This poll is a lot worse in my opinion than the bogus rankings from the other poll.

Whatever happens, I hope we will keep Schaffer and eventually promote him to GM soon enough..

I'm pretty sure agents don't like Bruce because of we don't overpay anyone like we used to. At the end of the day, agents are trying to get the most money out of those contracts and teams are trying to pay the least.

This poll combined with future losing, not making the playoffs and poor player management is what gets GM's and others fired.
I am not saying Allen will definitely get fired soon, it will take a lot for Snyder to fire Allen.
The successful NBA team I work for, creating an environment that has Free Agents wanting to come here team is critically important to us. We make it a priority. We want them to line up at our door and maybe take less money to play here because players think it is a good place to work and win.
That kind of poll result would lead to ass chewing here.
While we do not want to live and die via free agency, nobody wants that. The draft is the preferred method to build our team, as is most teams and sports.
But free agency is a critically important component and in some cases more important than the draft. Like the Philadelphia Eagles and Jacksonville Jaguars did last year, you can turnaround a below average team quickly with smart and strong free agent class.
That poll is not good news.

2 things
1. You are absolutely right about BA getting fired if this trend continues, there was a report last week that DS is not happy with BA, now that may just be a stretch but it was reported by a few sources. JP Finley being one.
2. CP3 is overrated and cant win in the playoffs :)

1. I would not be surprised that Snyder might be losing patience for multiple reasons including the team has regressed a little bit in the last three years. Now this poll adds weight.
2. It looks like OKC may have their hands full right now. Makes for good competitive games.
