What Was The Point That You Started To Realize That Gene Smith Wasn't A Good Gm?

#24

Quote:I was a little suspicious of the the "base-hit" drafting philosophy.  But I went with the flow for the most part.  I think he tried to build a team that focused on floors instead of ceilings. 

 

I laughed at the Anger pick.  But for the whole crowd who criticize him for taking a punter over Russel Wilson.  Yea it's probably a valid criticism, but NOBODY that I know of wanted the Jaguars to draft Russel Wilson that I can recall.  So we are at least half as wrong as he was on that.   
 

Pretty sure Carly wanted to draft Russell Wilson.  Seem to recall others wanting him as well.

 

But you could pretty much pick anybody but Anger and have it be a better pick.  A punter is the last guy you want on the field for your team.  People loved defending the pick with MATT TURK.  But as bad as Turk was, a decent punter + good pick in the 3rd will likely put you in better field position than the top punter in the 3rd.

I was wrong about Trent Baalke.
