Blackstar12 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Just this offseason alone Darius Leonard- DROY Quinton Nelson- Already one of the best G in football. Braden Smith- Another solid player Ebron- Turned his career around after being labled a bust in Detorit. There’s others but these are the main highlights I wanted to mention.

Blackstar12 Posted December 17, 2018 Author Share Posted December 17, 2018 I just feel like he deserves more credit for turning around a team many thought was one of the least talented team in the NFL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forge Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 It's been a season (and not a full one). You can't grade him after that small a sample. John Lynch is in his second year and it's probably too early to form any opinions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NJerseypaint Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 One year can be attributed to dumb luck. Consistency will prove if he's good or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No question it just feels good knowing the Colts finally have a Competent GM after the Griffin/Pagano era. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oops, correct. My bad. But yeah, still too early. After his second year as acting GM, Trent Baalke looked like one of the best GMs in football following back to back drafts that produced Iupati, Anthony Davis, Bowman, Aldon Smith, and a number of other starters. 3 years later he was considered one of the worst gms in the game. GMs require a large sample size of at least several seasons before you can really look at them in full scope. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soko Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He tried to hire McDaniels. Need more time, TBD. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Xmad Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 Give him 5 years, you'll have enough to evaluate him then. 1-3 years can be fluky but if the colts are successful for 5 or more, throw him up there with the DeCosta's and Newsome's of the NFL.

ET80 Posted December 17, 2018 Share Posted December 17, 2018 He had an easy act to follow, given that Ryan Grigson might be the worst GM in recent memory. Next few years will tell us, but he's built up a strong foundation for his legacy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
