He inherited a BAD team that had been on a steep downhill slope from 2015 on. I believe that team was worse than many (including me) thought. He's rebuilt this team into a winner with mostly high character players. This team believes in what he's selling.

I have to give him a good bit of credit for that. Am I saying he's the next hoodie ? no But I'm willing to let him continue rolling the dice.

My favorite is when people are like 'Zac brought in these free agents...and names a list.' (And the list is impressive of who we signed.)

Then, people are like 'Zac's calls can't work with a line this bad!' (Seemingly negating the fact that they think he's responsible for personnel.)


Personally, I think he has input, but MANY MANY factors go into personnel. Like Hendrickson - The contract he signed had a clause in it where the team could get rid of him after 1 year because they thought what he did with the Saints may have been a 1 year wonder. I feel like no one with the team knew he'd play this good.

Vonn Bell - Nice signing. Seems we waited and saw value in him. Didn't aggressively target him early. Turned out to be a good signing.

Sometimes it takes some luck and good circumstances.
