    He's drafted OK, but had a few major misses on high picks.

    He spent big money on 4 FA's and only one (Jenkins) really lived up to the billing.

    Seems like he gets a free pass.

    All GM's have some misses. Have you ever looked at some of the busts Parcells drafted?

    Blame Sutton. Those FAs were better than what we had before.

    Faneca pro bowl, we ran the bowl 10 times better then last year, tony richardson did a great job. Pace career high in sacks, Jenkins pro bowl....

    He has drafted well too

    Pace, Richardson, Faneca, Jenkins, and Woody have all been good additions to this team. Thomas Jones has been a good addition to this team. D'Brick, Mangold, Washington, Smith, Revis, Harris, Keller, and Lowery have all been good additions to this team.

    Favre was a gamble that didnt work out. Thats why its called a gamble. This isnt on the GM. The players are there. They need LB's that can cover and coaches who can coach.

    I wouldn't say it was a gamble that didn't work out. We went from 4 - 12 to 9 - 7. Do I think he slowed down? Yes. But what do you expect he's 40 years old. I think we should have played Clemens later on in the game however.

    I say its a gamble that didnt work out because we went from 8-3 to 9-7. I agree he he slowed down but your QB cant do that.

    I'm saying it was a gamble but I don't think it didn't work. Every player you sign you gamble on.
