Not worried. I got to ride Matt around on a golf cart at a golf outing a couple of months ago. Great guy, down to earth, not worried about the rehab and happy to be here. H may have some rust but the knowledge and smarts doesn't go away. He'll be fine.

Curious how much action he sees in training camp and the preseason. Did he take a practice rep in minicamp? I seem to remember him not even suiting up

Nothing but every season has shown how poorly Elway has performed at personnel decisions. Since he took the reins of the Broncos organization it has been a downward slide, only spotted by the Super Bowl win which was built on the best picks of previous leadership and grabbing Peyton Manning for his farewell victory lap/on field coaching show.

Elway is an arrogant, horse-faced jerk who thankfully has been wrong way more that he has been right. The fact that he made that call on Paradis actually makes me feel a bit more confident that we did the right thing. 

 

He's been better than Hurney at every turn as far as I can see so far.

After he took over he went 13-3, 13-3, 12-4, 12-4 with two Super Bowl appearances and 1 Super Bowl win.

The last few years have been tough as he hasn't been able to find a QB, but to say he stinks is kinda crazy to me.

Honestly, Elway sucks as a GM. This is a QB driven league. If you can't find a QB and whiff repeatedly on highly drafted and highly paid FA QBs, then you suck as a GM.

The job of a GM isn't to find a QB.  The number 1 job of a GM is to put a football team on the field that can win a Championship.

He as done that, almost twice in his short career.

I'm not saying that Elway is great, because he does some boneheaded things for sure, but for us to praise Hurney 2.0 and bash Elway....man, that's tough to understand.

Elway is not a good GM.

You're acting like they've been consistent contenders. They haven't made the playoffs since that 2015 Super Bowl and only have 11 combined wins in the last two seasons. They're spiraling downward. Elway will probably be out after another 6 or 7 win season this year.

A GM's specific job description may not be to find a QB but if you don't have a legit QB in today's NFL you're not going anywhere so it might as well be.

I'm not praising Hurney 2.0.

I tried to check the net I don’t see one single update since we signed him anybody know anything of substance or we just waiting until next week to see if it’s pup status for or not?

Paradis was a risk, but a risk worth taking.

Everything says he's expected to be cleared for camp.  Nothing is happening now so there is nothing to report.

Been to two SB's in his short reign there.  I'm not sure what else to tell you, but having that on your resume isn't too shabby for a GM.

As to the consistent contenders...nope, not as of late, but they surely were his first 4 years there.  Much more so than we have been during any 4 year stretch of our existence.

Spiraling downward for the past three seasons in the "Not For Long" league. Not sure what else to tell you. Another losing season this year and he's out. You don't get fired because you're doing too awesome.

As I said the first time you quoted me...he's not great.....however he has fielded a more competitive team, over a longer period that the Panthers ever have.

I DO NOT like him as a GM, but he's not trash either.  13-3, 13-3, 12-4, 12-4.  You do that, 4 years in a row, and you aren't going to have many high draft picks to go after a QB.  All of your 2nd, and 3rd rounders are at the back of the round.

He's trash I hear....well, he's certainly better than anything we've ever had per the record.

Got Manning to come there when he had juice left in the tank.  Made a SB run with John Fox in charge, saw he couldn't get it done, made a change and won the damn thing 2 years later.

Again, not great by any means, but has a better track record than Hurney and Gett's.

Feet are a bitch....that fifth metatarsal bone is easy to break depending one where you break it. its also very slow healing.
