[QUOTE="mradtke66, post: 733179, member: 4199"] Heh, kind of. I don't like to call out front office staff too much because I don't know as much as them. I also don't know through what colored lenses they see through. I also know that I can look back on some management decisions (in my profession) that I thought were pretty stupid at the time. Now with more experience under my belt, I get the rationale behind them. Hell, in a couple of cases I would come to the exact same conclusion and make the same decision. With that in mind, I tend to give most GMs the benefit of the doubt--what do they know that I don't? I mean, most of them aren't Matt Millen or Mike Sherman (trading up in the 3rd for a punter Mike!?) My basic presumption is that they don't sign a guy, they aren't too impressed with them for one reason or another. Too much money, poor scheme fit, malcontent, etc. Or maybe they don't grade a college player as high enough to take them where the rest of the league does (passing on TJ Watt). I will admit I'd love to know the exact formula that TT uses to Pass/Fail free agents. His success rate when he dips in (Woodson, Pickett, Cook, Peppers) is pretty good. So what kind of nibble does he need to set the hook? [/QUOTE]
