Nothing but people trolling for clicks who look like they need to carry a frozen turkey on a windy dayMost of his moves were in preparation of the big contracts comingThat's not saying it was good or bad. It was needed. But you could probably find a GM who improved their team for this specific 2025 season better

I've been critical of a few moves but again throwing that out there today isn't what some of the old school WIP hosts would have done. They had flaws but they weren't so annoying outside of Eskin.

But you could probably find a GM who improved their team for this specific 2025 season betterIt's hard to top last year and he certainly didn't but as you said it was different circumstances. I think he's setup the team for sustained success even tho every move hasn't worked out perfectly well

That's not a take I'd put out today unless I was looking for attention.Oh, they're definitely looking for attention. But that's the business model with all media because sports media is dying and they can no longer sustain normally without rage bait. I'd give Howie like a C+ for his year, which is a meh score. Spike gave him a D- which is 100% rage bait. But you see this everywhere in media now. You'll see in the coming weeks, the Dodgers could sign some bench player from the Pirates and the national media will act like they just signed prime Barry Bonds. ESPN still talks about Shadeur Sanders everyday. Every YouTube channel has some thumbnail of the personalities expressing shock or horror just to generate clicks, even if the video doesn't have it. It's unfortunate, but this isn't exclusive to WIP. And it's hard to argue with the formula since they're obliterating 97.5 in ratings.This is what media is now.

What might get attention is someone who actually talks about sports without the rage bait. Maybe I'm turning old.

The first 2 picks in the draft are starting on defense and Campbell has put up some of the better stats in the rookie class while Mukaba has 2 INTs. The signings were all bargain basement given that he's setting up for future signings but he did re-sign Goedert which was a good move. And Baun was clearly the right choice as well. These trades are all TBD. I'd say B compared to every other GM.

I'd say B compared to every other GM.The draft as been good, but the whole reason he's had to make all these trades is because of things he did that didn't work out in the offseason. Basically every trade he's made so far is an attempted correction of a failed move he made during free agency.Tank Bigsby - AJ DillonJaelan Phillips - Ojulari, UcheGetting BG out of retirement - same as aboveFred Johnson - Kendall LammJaire Alexander, Jakorian Bennett - letting Rodgers go, Adoree JacksonMichael Carter - same as aboveI don't think it was a terrible offseason, but it definitely is not up to the recent Howie standard, and we have 5 fewer picks now in next year's draft because of those attempted corrections.
