Does Snead get a pass because of 2 draft picks?

September 06, 2016 09:15AM
I see a lot of praise / support for Snead on this board. Even those that dog Fisher seem to separate the two when it comes to blame and advocate for retaining Snead and dumping Fisher as if the problems were all coaching issues. Les had picked two outstanding players with two high draft picks. But even in the dark days of Martz drafts we were able to select the phenomenal talent of Steven Jackson. After 4 losing seasons I think it's fair to ask if maybe Snead is part of the problem. We've had a fair number of picks to work with and free agent dollars to spend, but the results on the field have been poor. We're not a bottom feeder, to be sure, and we have several 'solid' starters, mostly when you look at the defensive side of the ball. But solid to fair does not propel a team to the top of the division. Solid does not win playoff games. Unless the Rams miraculously turn things around this year, I'd like to see both Fisher and Snead shown the door.

  Same issue with Mcleod - we develop and can't keep.

  You're totally missing the point

  no i don't think i am

TonyHunter87371September 06, 2016 12:51PM

  you are conflating the issues

PHDram661September 06, 2016 01:48PM

  The question was is he a good GM - that includes keeping talent

promomasterj479September 06, 2016 02:24PM

  That's not a reasonable expectation

PHDram370September 06, 2016 02:47PM

  So a GM is just like a scout - he just finds players?

promomasterj393September 06, 2016 03:42PM

  Well we're not talking about Elway

  'A lenghty list of talented players' - I would say that's up for debate

  Lots of hoping for the best on that list

  I seriously doubt that

PHDram348September 06, 2016 04:06PM

  well history says 50% on 1st round picks

LMU93439September 07, 2016 03:30AM

  how many "good" draft picks do you think he should have?

PHDram504September 06, 2016 09:32AM

  How do we feel about how he handled Foles - from last year to this year?

promomasterj593September 06, 2016 12:37PM
