And there is such a thing as meaningless wins. You always try to win with what you have, but sometimes you make decisions that make your team worse short term to build for the long term. Herm could have brought in Pennington. Would that have made people happier? Because that gets you 4-6 wins. Croyle and Thigpen were terrible, but the one time in history we have a coach who insists on playing youth over mediocre veteran qbs... Yeah, it led to losses. But I'm still glad we made the call.

Losing to get high draft picks doesn't mean anything if you can't capitalize on those high draft picks.
Herm picked Glenn Dorsey... a.k.a. Ryan Sims the sequel with the 5th overall pick.
