Doesn't mean squat in terms of filling teams with talent. Every team he's gone to in some capacity or another has went from crap to the playoffs within 3 years primarily due to the people he brought in.
Talk about hypocrisy! If he was available this summer when we were deciding on a GM.. over every other candidate available, you(the haters) can honestly tell me you wouldn't have jumped at the chance to land him? We've been trying just to get into the playoffs for how many years?
I guess you have a strange definition of talent because his teams sure haven't sustained success for very long under him.
BP on the Giants - 3 divisional titles, 2 superbowls, 8-3 playoff record, only two losing seasons (first year, and 6-9 during the strike year)... looks successful to me.
BP on the Patriots - within two years got them to 10-6 and their first playoff appearance in 8 years. Took them to a superbowl the next year. Drafted players like Willie McGinest, Ty Law, Ted Johnson, Curtis Martin, Lawyer Milloy, Teddy Bruschi. Wierd wasn't it the Patriot defense that basically won them their first Superbowl??? I'd say he was successful
BP on the Jets - Took a team that went 4-28 in the years previous to his arrival to the playoffs in his first season. Then 12-4 the next season. The season following Testaverde got injured and BP retired again and became an analyst. Successful.
BP on Dallas - Took them from 5-11 to 10-6 and revitalized Quincy Carter's career before he destroyed it with drug use. Leaving him with old qb's past their prime like Testaverde. The emergence and subsequent choking of Romo and TO drama lead him to retire again. Notable Players he drafted during his time at Dallas: Demarcus Ware, Marcus Spears, Terrence Newman, Jason Witten, Marion Barber, Chris Canty, and Jay Ratliff. Leaving the team as the popular pick to win the NFC.
Please pass what your smoking... cause that looks pretty successful to me. He never lucked into a Tom Brady, he was given either aging QB's or unproven talents who end up being choke artists.
He isn't the best at drafting offense, but the dude knows his defense and his board lines up with ours in terms of our defensive players. Lay down the crack pipe and get excited haters!
