on alot things i would agree this is everyones favorite tactic, but in this case it was a very clear shift in the FO, why would you start in the middle of it...if your judging this FO in its structure when would you say they started?
Honestly? The personnel philosophy has changed significantly from the days that Larry Lacewell was running our personnel department vs Will McClay. And it was different when we had Jeff Ireland or Tom Ciskowski overseeing things.our approaches to free agency and the draft has shifted over time.
Yes, Jerry and Stephen have been here for the entire time period as well, but at the same time I don’t think how the team performed during the Gailey /Campo years has much to do with our current situation.
There’s no way around trying to eliminate the bias when we are trying to select a time period. And frankly it doesn’t even matter that much. I’m just worried about what this team does going forward.
