maybe martin's best trait is an ability to recognize talent (and with that, an willingness, bordering on eagerness, to cut bait when he's been wrong). he signed a lot of players that were better than their ratings, and he was in early on a lot more that ended up elsewhere.
i haven't followed weber enough to know if this is accurate, but a glance at his career recruiting and winning trends would suggest that he might not be terribly good at the same.
