He’s whiffed on 3 out of 4 drafts. He’s failed at putting an elite offensive line together.

He took a QB that was clear as day a project at 2 because of combine hype.

Our wide receiver room is extremely weak.

Our most recent draft he uses our top pick on a project at the only position we’re actually deep at.

I could keep going but let’s see the excuses you guys make for him.

    Because outside of 1-2 contracts and the ZW pick, he’s been pretty damn good.

    2020: 1 star (Huff), 1 starter (Becton), 2 contributors (Davis, Hall) 2021: 4 starters (AVT, Moore, MC2, Pinnock), 3 contributors (Carter, Sherwood, Echols) 2022: 4 potential superstars, 3 contributors (Ruckert, Clemons, Mitchell), and another starter in Tony Adams 2023: TBD

    That is an incredible hit rate. None of these drafts are whiffs. A whiff is what Idzik did to this franchise.

      It’s more than just 1-2 contracts, the list of underwhelming signings is actually pretty long. Just off the top of my head you got Ryan Khalil, Breshad Perriman, Pierre Desir, Tevin Coleman, and Corey Davis- and a quick Google search will dig up at least a few more names. All of these are in addition to the Lazard, Cook, Hardman, Turner, and Cobb duds from this year (a couple of those Rodgers riders really aren’t 100% his fault though).

      All that said, I actually agree with you overall. His solid draft record and the transactions that did work out have put us in a really good position to win. I truly believe that we’re just a quality quarterback (which we had btw) away from being a great team and that deserves credit.

        Looking at it from a rubric perspective sure, some of those are objectively bad deals, but what’s the long term consequences? Guys like Bell, Trumaine Johnson, are absolute cap wreckers.

        I remember someone here debating me about how horrific the Jarrard Davis signing was. We almost spent more time talking about it than time Davis was actually here.
