Obviously you missed the "winning" part of my post.

None of your choices have ever come as close as Reid to winning a SB.

That was the year the Patriots cheated, wasn't it? They still only won by 3.

This was my big knock on DV and I have to admit this is the biggest worry I have about Reid.

My hope is our former LB GM will influence a building of a good D.

None of my choices have ever had the opportunities that Reid has had.

We would have had him as our DC if AZ wasn't so butthurt about us stealing Andy from them.

I agree with him on Shaw. He was my top choice too. Actually to the point I did this just to see how it would be:

Would have loved to have had Shaw.

Maybe if Reid doesn't pan out?

I think Reid pans out. I'm biased but I think if Geno pans out + Reid's philosophies offensively + we still have 2-6 years with our current nucleus on the team performing at an above average level, then we'll be competitive for several years. Enough that Shaw will have made the leap to the NFL before we fire Reid/ he retires anyways.

Of course, I'm also banking on Charles staying healthy, Geno performing like a 1.1, Bowe thriving in a WCO that plays to his strengths in terms of YAC and route design, and Geno being able to eat people up with PA off our stretch play with Charles.


Shaw is ****ing awesome though and I'm while I'm more than happy with Reid, I think Shaw is going to make an excellent NFL HC one day.

Updated.... as you might expect, there's a lot of news, but nothing earth shattering.

Hope Lemon can get a roster spot. Guy was impressive pre-injury at OSU.

Reid had some pretty good defenses in Philly under Jim Johnson.

I'm not worried about Reid "ignoring" the defense...I am however worried about the overall underachieving coach we selected as DC...so in a sense I will agree with you, just from a different angle.
