They do a tremendous job of not only selecting players that you've never heard of, but also developing them to fit perfectly into their respective schemes. When contract time comes, they don't overpay to keep a player, they just let them walk, and pull the next one in off the shelf.
The management of those teams know the real value is in having great coaching and scouting. When you have good coaches and scouts, you don't need to "hit the jackpot" on a perfect draft, you just develop whatever you have on hand into what you need.
So true, if we had great coaches, losing players like Whit and Zeitler wouldn't completely cripple our season.
We could just move on to the next up and comers, with poor coaching, the next guys up are not ready.
Like in your other thread, MB moving aside and Katie hiring a GM would be the best start.
Then hire all new coaches and get bigger in the scouting dept.
This would be the ultimate change in a good way.
