****ing GMs wet dream My hairy ****ing ass. There was. I ****ing talent on the team. At all. Such a GMs wet dream that NO ****ING GMs WANTED ANY OF THOSE MOTHER****ERS. On any team. Sure they were cheap, they were also trash. That does nobody any good.
If I get off this tractor before midnight I'll dig up the posts.
Squirmin Herman Mother****ing Sack of **** Edwards was an axe man. And largely like axe men in business, he cut the payroll expense and was horrible at everything else. Anybody can be an axe man. You could literally walk in the door, cut all the high salaries, draft dudes that are rated high and do as well as that mongoloid. But I bet you wouldn't stand in front of the media and rail on Vermiels "circus offense", would understand that passing isn't the debbil all while being an arrogant one who sucks the penis blathering on about tough football while fielding a miraculously soft team.
**** that guy.

Dick Vermeil had 5 years. 5 drafts, 38 picks, and only 6 amounted to literally anything (I'm being VERY generous with Jimmy Wilkerson. And that includes a punter). Herm had 3 years and brought in 7 (and that's being very generous leaving Dorsey and Page off the list).
Dick Vermeil built a roster of long-term players because he spent a shitload on free agents. Free agents are known commodities. Vermeil gave big contracts to: Trent Green, Priest, Wiegmann, Roaf, Kennison, Morton, Shawn Barber, Dexter McCleon, Patrick Surtain, Kendrell Bell, Carlos Hall, John Welbourn, Sammy Knight. 13 PLAYERS. Herm spent on Damion McIntosh, Ty Law, and Napoleon Harris. DV's personnel success came from signing a LOT of high-priced talent, and hemmoraging the cap to do so.
Being an axe man wasn't easy. Again, Vermeil/Peterson restructured these contracts to death and gave long-term contracts to geriatrics, so there was a massive amount of dead money. And it's well known that Herm went over peterson's head and direct to Clark Hunt to get the axes laid down. In an NFL where coaches get blamed for 1 bad season, it was incredibly bold for Herm to accept losing seasons to clean up the roster.
