He made enormous mistakes in counting on Sullivan, Fusco, and Loadholt to return from injuries. He's had good luck this year but he also made bets (not disastrous) on Datone Jones and Michael Floyd.
can we just agree, the last few offseasons that Rick S has done his job!?
I'm not trying to open a franchise of the NJVike Club or crucify Spielman. His additions this year have been mostly great and that's a combination of good decisions and some luck (and a lot of OL improvement is due to changes to the blocking scheme). But just because we have a winning streak, don't declare that he has been mistake-free for the last few years. He has learned from mistakes, so has Zimmer, and the team has improved.
