Snead is a really smart guy and he has gotten better as a GM. I think we have the best roster in the NFL right now and that is due to Snead. He takes chances and you don't always see his moves coming.
He has a lot of naysayers on the board but look at all the big hits he has generated. It is like the guy that really make it big in the stock market. They get rich because of the big hits they chose and by minimizing the effects of the loser they bought. Snead has drafted and acquired some big hits and now has us poised for success. Heck even Fisher might be able to coach these guys to a 10-6 record.
And it's not just the BIG hits.
The overall hit rate is good too.
IMO the people who downgrade Snead's record since 2012 focus on some notable misses without accounting for the overall hit percentage.
But the overall hit percentage is good regardless of the misses.
In fact all good drafting teams have notable misses. The issue then becomes what is their actual hit percentage. And as I keep saying, when you look at that with Snead, it has been fine all along.
The big thing this year that makes it look different is the trades.
