As long as he keeps drafting under achievers and over pays for average talent I'm going to have to say that he is not the best.
Also, this is not a political discussion board.........however, sometimes I can't stop myself either.

Apparently Spags brought with him some new scouts when he got here a year ago, which might have been a reason they did so well with the defensive draft picks last year.

IDK, but hopefully those scouts didn't leave with Spags if they were infact responsible for picking Hicks and White.

+1. I think Ozzie has done a hellava job over the last 10 years or so as GM. Loomis has been solid for the most part.

Yep, the locals here claim they are 'trying' really hard to resign Spencer but their main focus at the moment is locking down Romo to a long term deal.

+1. Until JJ releases that GM title (he never will) & have Romo as their leader, the Cowboys will continue to flounder in a miasma of mediocrity.

I agree we have done terrible with our highest picks so he flunks there. I never could understand that one. I also thing hhe is outstanding with his other duties. Mickey does not play football so even if he knew what was going on it doesn't matter. That blame stands firmly on the players shoulders. Even Payton's loss should not have hurt the defense. We had a D coordinator that should have got that side of the ball going in the right direction. Smith, Ellis, Vilma, Harper, Shanley probably others also all need to be sent packing. So in this respect he needs he needs to man up. All of these players can be replaced I would say fairly easily with the money that would be freed up. I would have thought we would have seen some of this happening already.

I hope they make Romo the highest paid QB in the league!
