If you think Herm is the one who developed Thigpen, I have some ocean front property in Nebraska to sell you.
I'll give Herm Carr and Leggette. Flowers and Albert were already super talented.
Keep grasping at those straws.

Herm's job entering the nfl was a scout. He evaluated talent. He had input in the draft. The fact that we have Carr, Leggette, Flowers, and Albert is a credit to him. He wasn't the only one involved, but he still deserves some credit.
Talent or draft position does not insure success. Look at Vernon Gholston. Is he talented? Yes. Has been successful yet? No. Herm deserves credit for developing talented players.
Herm has supported Gailey in designing an offense that suits Thigpen. Most NFL QB's could not be productive behind that offensive line.
And to answer your question about Charles, Charles has shown that he has the ability to play in this league. He has shown that he can make big plays. He can catch the ball and be a change of pace back for LJ.
What did Greg Hill show when he was drafted? He was a high draft pick. Using your line of thinking, he was talented, he should have been successful.
Going into almost every game the opposing roster is more talented and more experienced. You have unrealistic expectations. The same unrealistic expectations held by most people on this board. Very rarely can you take free agents off the street and start them in the NFL and expect to win. Do you know how many players the Chiefs have on their roster like that?
