Eh; I kinda agree w OP, there r still many diamonds in the rough out there; look no further than the NFL and how many 2 star & 3 star guys are there. However, the problem is we don’t have the eye for talent like once before. Butch learned from Jimmy. Butch’s eye for talent was ridiculous. Same w Jimmy. That’s the missing element.
Now, I do think this current staff tends to identify rising 3 stars better than have had over the last 15 yrs, however the problem is we zero in on a target, and neglect to cultivate more diamonds, so when we chit the bed, by the time our targets bounce and we try to regroup, those diamonds are no longer hidden and are long gone.
