It's becoming more obvious to the casual fans, but almost no one on this board was pleased with the selections of Pollard, McBride, and Tamba was pretty controversial (prompting a "Mother**** You Carl" thread from banyon).

You know, for all the Carl bashing (and I shouted at the TV at the early draft picks as well as most everyone else those years), we were able to field enough talent to go 9-7 or better most every year. Maybe it was luck. Maybe it was having the best OL in the NFL (I suspect the latter). Still, I find it ironic that we are so happy those years of 10-6 are over so that we can have three years of 3-13, 5-11, and then 10-6.
Yeah, I'm thrilled King Carl is gone. I trust Pioli more. Just pointing out the irony. The 90s (and pre-Herm early 2000s) are looking pretty damn good about now.
