Both are true, and both are also the result of things for which he should be credited and blamed, but also with the clear recognition that many such things took place amid circumstances beyond his own control.

Bringing this back up, as it is still really what the back and forth on Feaster comes to.
But for everything that Feaster had done that didn't work out, I challenge someone to find a GM with a flawless record. You are trading and banking on human beings physical attributes and team chemistry, they aren't numbers with predictable outcomes.
Do I love all of his moves? No. Am I happy with the rebuild so far? Absolutely. Do I credit Jay for getting us on the right track? Yes.
But Jay Feaster was most definitely not a fiasco, and there is a zero percent chance you could have done better than he had.
See that kid over there? Tom, or whatever his name is. He doesn't want to sign here and would rather try his chances re-drafting. Give Glen a ring and see what you can get for him. Do better than Jay and I'll be impressed.
