My benchmark, when he starts failing in the draft. When he starts getting bad talent. It’s one of the hardest things to do. Some guys have just by-passed it altogether like Les Snead and now the team is hurting bc of it. Or you suck at it and need FA to compensate like Grigson did. Everyone sings the praises of Lynch in San Fran, but since the 2016 off-season the 49’ers have picked in the top ten of the draft 5 out of 7 times. Duke Tobin did little before Burrow. Keim in Arizona still has a job since 2013. Barely hear about some of these average GMs around the league some with longer tenures but suddenly our fanbase can’t shut up about it.

The other is multiple losing seasons in a row unless they are breaking in a young QB and building for a better future.

Basically on his results concerning the roster.

Kind of like the Pacers that you told me to quit bringing up? Gotcha.

Makes sense, it sounds about right. Ballard is not held accountable to actual results, he just has to be not Grigson. As long as he drafts ok the actual results of the TEAM he assembles doesn’t really matter. It explains a lot.
