Yeah, not great, no arguments. A few good players -- Paradis especially was a steal (I didn't know he was a 6th round pick) -- but overall, pretty meh.
But he has CLEARLY shown talent for handlign the FA market -- both deciding which players to pay/keep, and which ones to let go, plus which ones to bring in. He's done it well enough to build a truly terrific defense, and an offense with some pretty decent skill position players. Only problem is one that about 25 NFL teams have -- lack of elite (or at least consistently good) QB play.
Meh -- I'd still rather have him leaving Denver to go back to selling cars or whatever. He's proven effective, unfortunately, overall.
