How is it a non sequitur when you’re praising Ryan Poles for all these good decisions outside of Edmunds and I remind you that he made one of the worst trades of the last few years?
Do you know what a non sequitur is? And why are you capitalizing it? |

When you add in all the extra capital they already acquired, not sinking any ships. Veach had a horrible first draft in KC and the Frank Clark trade and the Hitchens FA signing were pretty gross early moves. None of those stopped Veach from making better moves elsewhere. Very simple minded mindset you have there. |

The trade was labeled an overpay when it happened and it looks horrific in hindsight. |

They have added more draft capital than they lost overall. Poles is doing well so far. If the standard is that a GM can't make a mistake then Veach sucks too. |

You went out of your way to praise him. Fine. You then went out of your way to say the only recent mistake he made was signing Edmunds. I reminded you that he also traded for Claypool which was much worse. You then pretend like I’m having some debate about how good of a GM he is when instead I’m just pointing out that you have a glaring omission when you’re complimenting him on his track record. And fwiw - I think the Carolina trade last year was more the stupidity of that franchise than the shrewdness of Poles. |

Right or wrong Poles job evaluation comes down to getting the QB decision right. Chicago fans will monday morning QB his decision and it bette be right.
