Watching the Eagles destroy the Chiefs was very sobering for me. It made me feel like we are 20 players away from competing against the top teams. I do agree that Howie has proven to be a far better GM than Monti, heck most GMs.
Hoping Monti has some aces up his sleeves.
You bring so many quality posts but then do this. How about he doubled the # of wins in just one year. Both these stats are true but neither really speaks to the point.
It was an obvious tank job in year one for several reasons. Monti missed big time imo in year 2 by not getting an impact edge...
But filled an even more position at LT. Both are very important positions and he found a deal that got us our LT and extra picks to fill the myriad of other holes in the roster. You wanted the Edge guy so you won't or can't see the impressive trades he made. He had a plan and executed perfectly.
I think Monti demonstrated that very acumen with his first draft. Not sure what the lack of self awareness means. I respect your opinion very much and would appreciate a clearer picture if you don't mind.
