Rick had his misses but rarely had the WTF moves BoB made routinely. It's simply amazing how bad Cal screwed things up right off the bat.
He wasn’t bad at finding undrafted free agent either. he didn’t typically screw up rounds 1-3. Late rounds were terrible but his way avoided total catastrophe
Or just watches a ton of film. Not sure I’ve ever seen a GM sign so many players in such a short span.
I always considered Rick Smith an "average" gm or maybe slightly above (on a good day) but there's really no way anyone can say he wasn't at least "competent"! Again Caserio is bringing in quite a few new "deck chairs" to reshuffle. I'll take a wait-and-see posture to see how much water they take on.
