The difference is that Smith is a better coach than Angelo is a GM. At least Smith could fix his deficiency by hiring the right OC.
| Quote: | | There were no character issues prior to the draft that surfaced with either player. Benson has been a thousand yard back most if not all the years after he left the Bears. He never had a complete season with the Bears. He was cut because of the legal issues not because he sucked. |
Cedric Benson was taken with the #4 pick in the draft. If you take a HB that highly, you expect him to be more than mediocre to average. Benson never was. Even when he was a 1000 yard back, he wasn't considered a good HB.
| Quote: | | I have no idea what that is supposed to mean. It is funny though that when a GM does go outside the box and pick someone not consensus he gets reamed from all sides. |
By the media...and then when the picks pan out, the media kisses his butt.
Which is part of being a GM. Making the picks that will get you criticized because they're the best thing for the organization.
| Quote: | | And that was all Jerry's idea? Or did the coaches have a role in letting them go? It was common knowledge that Martz's (Lovie's boy) did not want Olsen. |
Olsen was let go because of Martz, no doubt about that. Danieal Manning wasn't though.
| Quote: | | Williams came to the Bears long after Haynes and Grossman were gone. Haynes was a huge bust but he looked like he was the real deal when drafted. He had a great college career, very smart, great character, tore up the Senior Bowl and looked like a potential All Pro. Rex took us to the SB. |
I'm quite aware of that. Williams was chosen in the 1st round the year they chose Forte. Which was the point I was making. In the years they took those great players, they made terrible choices with their first round picks.
| Quote: | | That is true even though Angelo did not miss on "the vast majority" of his picks. |
Now you're not being honest. He missed on around 70% of his picks.

Jets doing 2nd interviews Tues. would expect guys like Omar Khan, Russ Ball, Scott Cohen to be in the mix. Sounds like Jerry Angelo is not.
