John has been our GM for over 10 years, he has hits and misses, more hits in the first 3-4 years and last 2 years, more misses in between. How Jody placed the future in John's hands, but how good is John?
Yup. Overall it was difficult to determine where PC began and JS ended. It's a guessing game. Although I do not think JS makes the JA trade, and I also think he took a more authoritative role the last few drafts. We'll see over time. But I've heard some pretty knowledgeable football people remark that he's a top 5 or so GM in the league.We'll see
Pete was John's boss. The buck stops at the top.If JS was overshadowed or took the backseat to PC for 14 years ; then that's on him . He was the GM . He should of been the BOSS ; but he wasn't . I read many opinions about JS here ; claiming that he is NOW able to roll out his awesome abilities in draft picks , trades , free agency , coaching hires etc. It was easy for everyone to blame PC only , for the mediocre teams the Hawks fielded for the past half dozen years or so ; but JS was every-bit as responsible for anything and everything that occured .
