[QUOTE="digsthepack, post: 11966, member: 209"] I am certainly no Sherman apologist, if you have read my takes on him, you surely know this. I am just hoping that MS, minus the GM duties, can rededicate himself to coaching and avoid the serious blunders that have occurred under his watch during games. First and best move was to strip Tom Rossley of playcalling duties. While the guy can put together pretty decent gameplans, he is CLEARLY incapable of pulling the trigger on his plans during game situations. As GM, Sherman had many hits, many misses, and, some major headscratchers concerning his willingness to throw picks away on players that never did squat. Let us not even delve into how he let Hunter Hillenmeyer go when we needed LBs badly, or running with 2 punters last year to cover his ***. MS the GM picked the players MS the coach needed...often tothe detriment of the overall good of the team. Most blatantly, however, Sherman failed to understand how to operate in the era of unrestricted free agency. He operated under the old model of "signing our own" which provided hefty raises for many players and put us in bad cap situations. He needed to understand that any team can realistically have only 3-5 players maxed out, paywise. The rest of the roster must turn over fairly frequently to maintain cap health, and remain viable contenders for specifically targeted free agents that could actually make a difference. I think Thompson is a breath of pragmatic air that was sorely lacking where personnel decisions were/are concerned. [/QUOTE]
