You herd it hear last Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I'd be interested to know if anyone has accumulated and analyzed data for NFL general managers and their career success. I'm thinking along the lines of drafting impact players, length of player careers, wins, probowlers/HOF'ers selected, etc... What other categories would apply if we had a GM rating scale? What things would interfere with the validity of such an assessment? (tight budgets come to mind)

Punch Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 Coaching The coach should also be factored into any evaluation of the GM.
NoSaint Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 It's near impossible to have any type of reasonable numerical grade for something like that. Unpredictable injuries, the types of teams taken over, careers of players after the GM is gone, etc.... All make it incredibly difficult.
Mr. WEO Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I would say consecutive years as GM with a team is the only all encompassing metric of value.

Beerball Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 I'd be interested to know if anyone has accumulated and analyzed data for NFL general managers and their career success. Yes, I have...Buddy Nix--one 7th round QB drafted in 3 tries. (this points towards career failure)
bowery4 Posted January 14, 2013 Posted January 14, 2013 You mean like analytics for GMs? Russ is on the case.
DDD Posted January 15, 2013 Posted January 15, 2013 injuries. Torell Troup would be on his 3rd pro bowl trip were it not for his back problems. I don't know if you are serious or kidding.
