Didn't Casserly engineer the Earnest Byner and Gerald Riggs trades? Or was that Beathard's last hoorah?

He was brilliant here though. I wonder what happened.....

I thought Casserly was a HORRIBLE GM. Beathard built the team, and it started going downhill during the Casserly era. He is a complete loser when it comes to talent evaluation.

Is this irony? I thought he drafted desmond howard, michael westbrook, heath shuler and sean gilbert.

westbrook was Norv's favorite in that draft, don't know who had more pull, him or Casserly.
We traded for Sean Gilbert from the rams, then we eventually got 2 1st rnd. picks for him when carolina signed him.
Desmond Howard was Gibbs' & Casserly's doing. Gibbs said he found "no holes" after they'd researched him. Casserly later said that all of the nfl had Howard rated that high too.

From what I recall Norv wanted Dilfer and Westbrook, Casserly wanted Galloway and Shuler (or vice versa)

So they compromised

Damn, the Packers sure are stingy with money. I would be shocked if they trade him for anything less than a 1st round or a 2nd and 3rd rounders.

We came out on top on the whose Sean Gilbert fiasco.

Well, I guess. Though admittedly Sean Gilbert wasn't any part of their success, Carolina made it to a Super Bowl since that trade, and we haven't.

Plus, one of the draft picks we got from them is officially gone -- Lavar Arrington -- and he never lived up to the hype, either.

Casserly did squat here. He won a ring off a team he didn't build with a HOF coach he didn't hire. Once all that washed out he was gone pretty quick. He then proceeded to do very little in Houston starting from scratch. I think it has become apparent that he isn't that great a GM.

norv got the same kind of boost being in on those dallas teams, yet he still manages to get coaching jobs... i don't get it.
