People remember single huge and colossal moves that have huge effects on a team moreso than many "quieter" yet solid moves that a peronnel guy makes. For Davis, drafting Russell and, to a lesser extent, trading for Seymour, gave him a bad rap. The opposite applies to the Colts FO, in which their "genius" is actually mostly due to one of the easiest picks to make in the draft(P. Manning).

Also, McFadden having a terrible first year also hurt.
