Quote:People love to reference the 2008 draft, but Gene was 10 times worse. People also forget the fact that Shack got us Mathis, Greg Jones, MJD, Lewis, Daryl Smith, Scobee, Manawaui , Wilford, Durant and you can even add a guy like Reggie Nelson, who's been a very good NFL players. 

 

Shack wasn't as bad as hes some make him out to be. Id take him over Gene, Shack just screwed the whole thing up with 2008 with putting us in cap hell and bombing the draft. 

 

Shack was a good GM.  He is a victim of the Owner meddling in football operations.  Wayne got swayed by the swing for the fences mentality that trapped him in 1999.  I liked listening to Shack's interviews as well.  2008 draft was just unfortunate and we kept the wrong guy in Gene Smith.

 

The Gene Smith small school stuff is so darn laughable now.  Oh how I miss these
