He can't draft well and he doesn't give good extensions... This barely readable graph doesn't change that.
The thing I think he might do better than any GM in the NFL are trades. He always gets good value on them.
He has righted the ship and that is enough for me to let him stay on and forget about his shortcomings for now. He will need to improve his drafting ability in the first round and his ability to retain top talent (and to let lesser players walk) in order for us to keep this up for years.
It is fair to criticize the guy, he isn't perfect, and has been far from it in years past. This offseason however might be the greatest I have ever seen (draft aside).
A lot of people on here like to say that the coach makes a lot of the player personnel decisions when the GM makes bad decisions, so the same should go for when the GM makes good player personnel decisions, which to me means Mike McDaniel might be a large part of our improvement in this department as well.
At this point, I don't even care who is making the decisions as long as they keep making good ones as they have been recently.
