It takes an elite personnel guy to build off a bare roster using only draft picks and pulling everything from the scrap heap. So if that's the knock on him, that's really unfair expectations. Herm made the right call to demolish the roster. He and kuharich were pretty effective in drafting (brought in more talent in 3 years than Pioli did in 4 yrs...vermeil in 5yrs). And while he didn't bring in much free agent talent, he also purposely chose not to and deserves credit for his restraint.

I'm not comparing herm with the best. But you're comparing him to the worst, and that just aient. I'm not missing the point at all. I don't believe bandaiding the roster was even an option. So if the only option is to build through the draft and the scrap pile, I recognize that that is going to be a lot longer and more difficult process to find talent than if you binged on proven free agents or inherited a mega roster from your predecessor.

Dude. You are misremembering. It's late and I have to be out early tomorrow but dig up the thread the last time we debated this. He'll look it up yourself, the roster when he was done was a joke. Making the call to blow it up is one thing actually doing it in an effective manner is quite another. Herm was like a bear cub playing with his dick. He was a total and abject failure. He had a handful of good players after 3 years!

It's insane. Give it up.

I'm off to bed.
