It's fun reading the 'my GM is better than your GM' stuff, but it's kind of silly.
Teams are built many different ways, only a few teams can lay claim to consistently building through the draft. Elway has found some solid players in the draft, no they haven't all worked out, but it's not like the team is suffering that much.
And yes, many players signed up for the SB or Bust path they took with Manning. It still took Elway to bring Manning there in the first place, when many here said they had absolutely nothing to work with... and after the SB blowout, they put all their money on the table and fixed the defense.
It would have been great to sign Calais, but hanging in the balance was an extra $6M in guarantees and no state income tax... I'm sure they budget $'s for spots and to bridge that gap, it was too much. So be it.
Would have been great for them to resign Jackson and Travathan last year - and despite what Jackson said afterwards, who knows if they truly could have pulled off all those contracts.
Yesterday was only Day 1 of Free Agency and rarely is FA won just on day 1. Washington always goes crazy early in FA and how has that worked out?
Just saying ... I don't care about the draft history comparisons of our GMs. I care more about the final product and we're far from done in seeing how that pans out for this year.
You kids carry on with the pissing contest though...
