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


Quote:Pete Prisco thought the world of Gene, and I believed him.  Monroe first pick solid, I'm ok with Eban Britton another guy that people might be a first rounder. Knighton ok, But then a trade of a 2 for another 3.  Wasn't crazy about that. 

 

...
 

I think people within the media liked him because the man had an incredible work ethic. I know that Mike Mayock, Prisco, and yes even the mightily verbose Ketchman thought the world of him because they saw how much time and attention he put into the job. That part of Gene Smith is to be commended and not just thrown out.

 

The bad part about Smith was that he simply didn't evaluate well. He wasn't lazy, he always put in his due dilligence, and he was never caught off-guard. He just didn't evaluate the impact that certain players would have correctly.

 

Quote:All I know is he has 2 superbowl rings and worked with a HOF QB for a long time. 
 

Uhh... He only worked with said HoF QB for four seasons, then won his two Super Bowls at the end of that. Then he went on to win exactly one Playoff game since. Pardon me if I don't think that the man got lucky to walk into the Denver situation when he did.

I'm trying to make myself more informed and less opinionated.

Stop saying whatever stupid thing you're talking about and pay attention to all the interesting things I have to say!
