Around SBN: Eden Hazard In London For Medical, According To Reports

"I’m asked time and again, "What would you do if you were General Manager, in charge of football player personnel?", and this is how I answer;

EFX is tasked with both winning now and building a foundation for winning in the future. Because of never before seen "futility" last season, there is heavy internal/external pressure to show immediate progress. But EFX can’t succumb.

Fans and media tend to forget we "don’t see what is seen" inside the walls of Dove Valley. We don’t watch a complete practice, record the passing efficiency, review the resulting tape over and over again. We’re not privy to the answers in the classroom, the demeanor up and down the halls of the facility. We don’t know the "locker room" reaction; what they perceive, who they support. We’re not aware of game plan "understanding", the ability to "check off" at the line."

Ted Sundquist is a Houston, Texas native. For six seasons (2002-2008) he was the General Manager of the Denver Broncos Football Club and was employed with that organization for sixteen years (1992-2008). He was elevated to GM by Broncos owner Pat Bowlen after having been pursued by both the Chicago Bears and Atlanta Falcons for similar positions in 2001 & 2002.

His persepective is probably more accurate then mine.

It wasn't him Charlie, it was you. Remember that night in the Garden you came down to my dressing room and said, "Kid, this ain't your night. We're going for the price on Wilson." Ya remember that? 'This ain't your night.' My night I could of taken Wilson apart. ~ Brando aka Terry Malloy

Is it me

or is that a pretty bad answer to a direct question. He should get into politics.

Q: “What would you do with the QB situation?”

A: “GMs know more than you do.”

Perhaps he would still be the GM

If he knew basic football information, such as the team 900+ miles south of Denver is known as the ARIZONA Cardinals and not the Phoenix Cardinals.

And no, he didn’t answer the question did he. Just sidestepped it.

GMs may know more than us but that doesn't mean they are always good at their jobs or make the right decisions.

How many GMs get fired every year because they don’t do it right. That is a cop out answer and has no legs to stand on as a reason for their decision being the right one.

NFL players are too smart to try and pull something over on them. I saw it happen when Jay Cutler was given Jake Plummer’s team before he’d earned it. This was the "beginning of the end" for Shanahan and he too was shown the "guillotine".

Except Plummer wasn’t playing piss poor and took us to the playoffs while here. That was a no brainer. Unfortunately Kyle Orton is no Plummer

Whatever

What do you expect him to say?

Can EFX really keep saying “Orton gives us the best chance to win” ?
I’d say the “guillotine” is waiting for them, especially if they run this team into the ground AGAIN this year with Orton.

Ted uses an amazing amount of quotation marks

But I love hearing his perspective.

The bad thing about doing nothing is that when you get tired, you can't stop and rest.
