Great job, Chris! Want a damn cookie?
Hitting on a couple draft picks doesn't make you an elite GM (particularly for positions that are harder to go bust on than others). Has he created a bank within his own salary cap structure where cash can be "withdrawn" through contract restructures? Has he devised the most creative and awesome contract for his QB the league has ever seen? Has he ever completely renovated an entire position group in the course of just 3 months of an offseason not once but TWICE?
He's absolutely the ultimate Carl. Dane is right. He'll get you a playoff team, but he's never going to make the moves that will put them over the top.

This is a great post. I live in Indy and the reactions to him are baffling. "Amazing GM". Colts have exactly one playoff win against the Texas in his time there. They play in one of the worst, most incompetent divisions and aren't even winning the division consistently. At best they might be the fourth best team in the AFC this year if everything breaks right. At worst it's another year of not being in the playoffs. He made great picks in leonard and nelson but wasted their rookie deals and hoarded cap space for...? Now all that cap space will be gone once they are extended and they have wentz on the books. To me it seems like people label him good because he doesn't make many bad free agent signings, but that isn't really "good", just more "not terrible".
