Glad you're still here.
On the other extreme, there are some who believe πΉπΉ can do no wrong.
Looking back historically, I rank πΉπΉ in the top 10 GMs today. I may be a minority here, but I actually like π²π² more than πΉπΉ and attribute more of our success to π²π². Yeah I know, one could argue that πΉπΉ hired π²π² so he should get credit. But that argument doesn't fly with me because it would be like the guy who hired me taking credit for my work.
π²π² I rank as one of the top 3 coaches today.

Really poor R1 choice, and he was no replacement for Corey Williams, who he also let walk, and never replaced until how many years later? I know WIlliams wasn't the best, but he was pretty freaking good for us back then.
I think he totally whiffed on Flynn, letting him go for zip, when he could have been traded for something. If Rodgers goes down, yeah, we need a backup, but we all pretty much know we would be done. Get something for those guys you develop Ted! Ron Wolf should have taught you that one. Another missed opportunity.
We were so very WR heavy last year, and we did nothing to add a DE/OLB before last year's trading deadline.
His overall philosophy was on point, and because of our insane depth, we won it all in 2010. Trouble is, to me, we had no business repeating as youngest team in the NFL last year. He seems too rigid on holding to one philosophy. If anything, last season, we should have loaded in a couple more vets on DL/OLB to leave all doubt behind that we were definitely going for 2 in a row...
It is revisionist history, but I would have been happier seeing him shoot for a couple SBs in a row, rather than sticking to adding, again, to the underside of our roster.
He could be making a dynasty here... and he still might be, using his own map to get us there. Sometimes that is tough for me to see, sticking to one philosophy. His team is evolving, and I think he would be prudent in evolving along with it to give it the best chance for success.
