He had a handful of good players after 3 years!
It's insane. Give it up.

I posted the roster above. But I'll do it for you. He brought in Charles, Albert, flowers, carr, Hali, bowe, glenn Dorsey, Barry Richardson, Wade Smith, Ron Edwards, pollard, page. That is more than a handful. 7 of those guys started for many years. Richardson, Smith, Dorsey, page, Edwards were adequate enough to start.
That's while spending barely any new money on free agents. Even a good game is lucky to hit on one quality scrap haul player and landing 3 quality players in one draft is considered excellent. Over 3 years, that's 12 players.
But you keep comparing him to either elite gms or gms who spend a shit load of money on free agents. And most of those gms, by the way, are building rosters that probably have more than half of their starting roster already set with decent enough talent. Herm spent virtually no money and within 3 years, only had 1/4 of vermeils roster worth keeping.
