He has 2 sacks and looks really good. Oh and guess what? His cap hit is less than $1 million for the next 4 seasons.
Things are never as simple as many of you want to make them. It's not black and white.
Even good GM's make mistakes.
Even bad GM's occasionally hit on players.
Reid is one of the best coaches in football; and yes, he does have some weaknesses.
Veach is going to need to have a run of hits pretty damned soon; he's had a bunch of flops.
But you guys are so extreme. Dorsey was a good GM, but had some issues. Ballard is off to a good start, but the law of averages says he'll have his share of whiffs too.

Everything is not EITHER/OR.
It's much more complicated than that.
In general, yes. Especially over time. But within a window of opportunity, there is less room for error, otherwise you waste the opportunity. [Reply]

People are shitting all over Veach for Frank Clark, which is rightfully due, but I think he’s done some good this offseason.
Hardman was a good pick, Thornhill was a good pick, Ogbah was a good trade and Martinas Rankin actually looked pretty decent on Sunday. He looked A LOT better than Wylie.
Its early but the way that guy played made me feel like we might have a solution at LG (finally). [Reply]

Yeah, I agree.
I don't know what the deal is with Clark. It was a LOT to give up, but he should be a very, very good player right in his prime. So far...he's meh.
Not sold on Rankin, but it's hard to tell with the dumpster fire to his left. Wisniewski should be at least quality depth; and I'd think better than Rankin.
The inability to stop the run is really frustrating. We just can't control the line of scrimmage at all. [Reply]
Hes worse than meh. Its a collossial failure so far considering the picks and 100 million contract given up. Especially if that language in his contract is true and they are stuck with him until 2022. [Reply]
yea Clark is getting paid in JJ Watt, Fletcher Cox, Demarcus Lawrence territory and despite that propaganda from the front office where they said hes in that tier, the reality is, hes not close.
Someone in either an analytics or film department screwed up. [Reply]

He's closer to Ogbah than Watt.
Is he any better than Allen Bailey was last year? I'm serious.
This just really sucks. This guy really should be fun to root for and he's just...there. Ugh. [Reply]

Maybe they mean he had an 89 grade for the 1st play. That had to be one of his better first plays ever. [Reply]
