If your assertion is that I need to dig up ancient history on each of these moves to show what you and others were saying at the time, you're out to lunch, and frankly we both know you're being disingenuous.

Here's a post where I outline his good moves and bad moves.
"My arguments would be
- Strong RFA performance
- Generally a positive trader, with a small number, but notable exceptions.
- Draft performance has been strong in my view.
Arguments against are
- Poor UFA performance and management of cap as a result
- Perhaps guilty of trying to accelerate the re-build, resulting in premature shedding of picks
- Poor coach selection.
Which is why he's #3 on my list (behind Fletch and Coates)"
There are others you can find too.
Yes I have stated that i believe consistency at the top in key management positions and lack of consistency is a hallmark of badly run organizations.
But that's a valid opinion to have. And we can agree or disagree or whether BT is a good GM. I think he is. You think he isn't. That's not a problem. Both are valid views to have.
What is a problem is when people over-simplify and miss-represent the positions of others. State your opinion and back it up. We can have a discussion. Don't make up what other people feel or minimize it down to some so bare bones that it doesn't resemble their points. That makes for awful debate and discussion.
When I state my views I try to outline them with thought and detail.
So no I'm not being disingenuous.
If you want to go through my posting history go ahead. But this isn't about being right or wrong. Those keeping "score" for that can do so to their heart's content. I've been wrong as much as right. But if you want to find posts where I blindly state things without thought or perspective I think you will find that challenging. You may disagree with them. But they aren't without thought.
It's wildly known that Burke pretty much ran the 2014 draft and he confirmed that again. If you want to ignore that - that's on you.
