Howie Roseman killing it again

[imahobgoblin]

I'm just going with what the OP is saying, that Roseman is killing it.

Last year, he posted a link to a report of Josh Simmons looking good in camp, called him the steal of the draft and ranted about how the Pats should have traded down for him. When Campbell looked good in our first preseason game, we then really needed to see him play multiple games that count before we can judge.

It's a weird thing to say Wolf needs to intern with them considering we traded up for 2 of our picks and seemingly have a deal in place for AJ Brown. This after a fantastic offseason last year. I don't understand the problem.

Everyone knows that Sam, Wozzy, and PatsFan2, and Andy all take special to a whole new level in their posts. They can't be fixed.

This reminds me of the typical pundit reaction after the draft as to who had the best draft(complete with grades), without any of these guys even going to Training camp...

Roseman is a very good GM who gets far too much worshipping. A lot of his draft success especially in the first round has been failures of the GMs picking in front of him making bad selections that allow players to fall to the Eagles. That isn't skill it is luck. When a player who should have been drafted five to ten spots earlier than your pick and you draft him, what did you really do that was special?

I think the Makai Lemon thing is being overplayed because it is Roseman. Yes, him jumping ahead of the Steelers to draft him while they were on the phone with Lemon is a good story (things like this happen probably more often than we think), but it is being really played up because it is Roseman.

I like the trade for Greenard. I wouldn't have been upset at all if the Patriots made that trade. I think people are overrating Greenard a bit, but I think he is a very good player but he has only had two great years and may not live up to the contract he just got.

I like what Wolf is doing since he was able to create the scouting and player personnel departments in his image. It is clear they draft more like the Packers under his father than the Patriots under Belichick. The players the Patriots are drafting not players that Belichick would have drafted.

Is Roseman better than Wolf? Sure at this point. But based on last year and how promising this offseason has been thus far this year, I think Wolf has the potential to be his equal or surpass him. Not betting on it. But I like Wolf. I think his issues with drafting and players management in the past was he was working in Belichick's system and not his own.

And I am not doing this as a swipe at Belichick. I am pointing out that Wolf was using a system that wasn't his and how he likes to evaluate players which no matter how good Belichick's system was or wasn't would hamstring him at a bit.

This what a bold and aggressive GM not afraid to make mistakes look like.
Eagles are going to be very good next year. Probably return to SB is in the cards


Wolf should intern for Rosenbaum

Makai Lemon sounds like he is on drugs.

Howie is so incredible that his teams have achieved the unbelievable feat of being knocked out in the wild card round, or not even making the playoffs, 5 times in the last 7 years. He is a genius!
