NFL.com analyst Gregg Rosenthal released his rankings of the league's general managers, and Detroit GM Bob Quinn did not fare particularly well. 

Apparently, not all analysts are impressed with Quinn's job performance since he was hired back in 2016.

In his fifth year with the Lions organization, Quinn came in at No. 22 out of 25 ranked GMs. 

Rosenthal decided not to rank inexperienced leaders that were hired after the 2018 NFL Draft due to his belief that they have not been on the job long enough to warrant a fair evaluation. 

"Some teams take on the personality of their head coach. The Lions have taken on the personality of Bob Quinn. He's a decision maker who's there. His draft hauls and free-agent signings have mostly been inoffensive, if uninspiring," Rosenthal writes. "He's hit a lot of opposite-field singles in the draft, with Kenny Golladay possibly the best pick he's made in four years. Justin Coleman and Marvin Jones have been nice veteran additions. The Lions are a zip-up sweater of a football team."

Rosenthal points out what many have felt regarding Quinn's tenure in Detroit: Quinn simply has struggled to find many big-time playmakers in his four seasons on the job. 

The 2020 season must be Quinn's best, or he risks finding himself not on the list at all and unemployed.
