Both true! Which goes to show you there are probably a lot of opinions on the guy made without remembering the little things.
He certainly had his wins. Horak wasn't anything remarkable, but those 2nds have absolutely helped improved our fortunes.

All true. That's what Feaster did, and it's the unfortunate part of how he did it. When you go "hands off" at the draft you put all your trust in the scouts, you give up credit for their wins, but you're still saddled with responsibility for the losses, because you're the guy who is supposed to stop them from making mistakes.
Perhaps Feaster's worst mistake was talking too much. It seems like many of his mistakes were amplified by his own explanation of them, and his victories diminished by the very same.
