Rating the GM's

His stats are crapola in my view. Not just this one, but most of the stuff he puts out just doesn't fit with how the NFL works

 

He has draft assessments that rank success based on number of starters - but who is a starter and who isn't in the time of specialization and substitution ?

Packers play nickel 70 % of the time with 5 DBs on the field, but he only counts 4 of them as starters. Its just masturbation of numbers and in the comments section, many posters rip his methodology. I give him a big thanks for the effort, but not much utility in his conclusions

 

Here's the thing I love about Emery: he's statistically better than Ted Thompson at drafting.

I can't believe the Bears let Emery go.  Is it too late to get him back?

Having the Redskins GM as the number one says it all.  Boy, that team has been competitive.  What a moron. 

Interesting point about the Redskins GM (Scot McCloughan) He's from the Ron Wolf/Ted Thompson tree. He's damn good. Just give him a chance in Washington. He just got there this year.

 

Jerry Jones, Phil Emery & Rick Spielman ABOVE TT. Yeah, ok....That makes sense

Best part of the article is the Elway pic. It's glorious. 

That.  That is, well it's something.

 

Holy cripes.

Spielman deserves an A+.  The job of the Vikings' GM is to set the organization back decades, and so far Spielman's done a bang-up job of it.  (I don't think Bridgewater is the solution at QB.)

It depends on your definition of "solution". I think Bridgewater can become a solid starter. Certainly that's not special but better than continually searching for one that doesn't outright suck, he'd be in the Rivers/Dalton (maybe) tier of guys.

So wait a second.  You're saying Bridgewater can be better than Rivers or Dalton?

There are two enormous issues with this system.  Well, at least two.

1. So, based on this dufus's (dufi?) system, If the Packers have an absolutely stacked roster and Rookies don't start Thompson gets penalized because of that?

2. If a rookie plays 42 plays, but doesn't "start" the GM is penalized in this system.

 

DUM

Clarified, I think he'll be that kind of QB. Not special, but good enough to win some games and with a good team around him may compete for the Wild Card some and maybe an occasional division title. 

Actually, he just started that job.

A new hire moron...

There's the problem.  Greg Jennings left, so Bridgewater is doomed. 

I think Jennings was a better fit than Mike Wallace for Bridgewater, but I also think Wallace is a vastly overrated, one-trick pony and Bridgewater doesn't have that kind of deep ball arm.

That is laughably awful in so many different ways:

 

1) As many noted, it doesn't account for injuries. So a HR pick like Nick Collins can be viewed as pedestrian in this analysis b/c he had a career ending injury.

 

2) It doesn't account for depth. So Aaron Rodgers sitting the bench behind Brett Favre is less successful in his rookie year than the dumpster fire of Johnny Football.

 

3) It doesn't differentiate among starters. Aaron Rodgers and Marshall Newhouse both started 16 games in 2011...the Marshall Newhouse pick apparently is more valuable in this methodology even though he was a below average starter and Rodgers put together one of the best seasons in history.

 

Complete garbage.

Based on the above comments I don't even NEED to ckick on the link, thanks guys!

Don't look a gift Elway in the mouth.

That right there is funny. Define occasional.

Well there you have it.  TT is the worst GM in the division.  Stats prove it!

Stats don't lie!

 

I know MM is a good coach, but to keep winning the division over and over despite the worst GM speaks volumes.

Easy explanation. The guy that wrote the article is on crack.
