Too often CP was forced to concede that players we brought in by trades were going to have more value than a pick he would have wasted on Kenyaron Fox or Junior Siavii types. Has there been any head coaches who spent so much time in one job that have been helped out so little by the draft as DV? Herm has had three years on the job, and the talent level is nowhere close to being what it was when he took over. DV trusted perhaps too much in veterans. With the rookies we brought in I don't blame him. Its not like the trend hasn't continued with Herm at the helm. Is Donnie Edwards the same player now than when DV let him go? How did Napolean Harris turn out? Its not like we haven't brought in some dud FAs since Herm got here. Difference is we brought in more younger players who are a real reach to ever get to a level where they can be trusted to contribute on a weekly basis.

For me, it's not a 'blame game' on Vermeil; the situation that Herm inherited just was what it was. Herm has had 3 years to write his own show, and he and Carl did not operate wisely. It's not like Herm was the first new coach faced with a challenging task.
That's it and nothing more.
