Well clearly they are doing something well with player evaluation, development and maximizing talent to production on the field.

Sometimes it's better to just type out simple answer rather than a full blown dissertation. But if you want, then yes... We should evaluate who was responsible for that success, how much different experience they have had, evaluate their leadership abilities so we can get that guy from their organization.

I mean, I hope we're not looking into hiring guys from failing franchises due to FO mishaps - unless certain fans are happy that a GM candidate "can't be worse" than what we have right now.

No... I totally get what you're saying.  Nobody is hiring the personnel director from the Jets or Jaguars right now... that would be insanity.   But the individual person you hire matters more than just the organization they are coming from.  We've seen teams try to pluck personnel guys and coaches from the Patriots, and it NEVER works out.  Heck, the Texans currently have the former Patriots CHAPLAIN as their interim GM, thinking he somehow has the "secret sauce" from Belichick.  I'd be fine getting a Chiefs guys, if he is deemed to have played a significant role in their decision-making process.  I would also like a guy who has been with more than one team and seen it done a few different ways.   That's why I like Champ Kelly from the Bears.  Chicago has a pretty good roster (other than QB) and he was also a personnel guy that helped the Broncos win their last Super Bowl.
