Part of the blame can go on the player, QB play contributed to along with injuries. I bet you wouldn't have to go to far where you guys around here were calling Josh Allen a bust.

I haven’t made any definitive claims about Paton’s drafts. I’ve maintained that it’s too early to judge either way.
My points are: A) it doesn’t take skill to find a solid prospect with the 9th overall pick. It’s a huge failure if you don’t.
B) There is absolutely no reason to label him a “top GM” at this point, yet I routinely see Broncos fans doing it (while insulting Veach).
C) Veach is vastly more accomplished at this point as a GM. Not even debatable. Paton has a lot to prove. Veach doesn’t.
