who's to say that our braindead coaches would have put them in a position to succeed?
Really, a lot of getting players to that level is developing the talent you do have, as well as identifying the talents that could help us most. I know MW was not the most popular guy here, but possibly under the right coaching, he could have succeeded. There are many woulda-coulda-shoulda scenarios. Hell, if the Colts would have picked Kelly, Marino, Blackledge, O'Brien, or Eason, they may have had a QB and may still be in Baltimore.
I will agree that our college and pro scouting dept's need to be revamped, as risks like McCargo, McBadknee, and Roscoe were completely unneccessary picks. In addition, pickup like Larry Tripplett, Melvin Fowler, Tutan Reyes, Dave Moore, Eddie Robinson and Chidi Ahanotu were all pretty pathetic pickups. So Guy and Modrak must go, and the new crew must have fortune of having coaches that are able to develop the talents
