At the end of the day, his job is to acquire players and be able to project how they'll do in the future. Barring injury, why give him excuses when moves don't work out? It's literally his job. It's the NFL, you don't get points for trying.

First off many who were upset were the same that are upset any time this team trades a pick for a player. Second off it's his job to acquire players that better this team. If the player ends up not doing such, especially if they were young and proven at the time that is another matter. He has no way of knowing down the line that said proven player would not live up to what was paid for him.
No one is giving him excuses, the Clark move didn't turn out long term as planned, but to say he is average as a GM or not good because players like Clark underperformed and Veach somehow didn't know this years prior like he is some sort of Miss Cleo is just hating on the guy. That is what you are currently doing.
