It's probably the responsible and best approach, sure, but I can't help but think that some of those years could have ended differently for them if he had just been a little more aggressive in free agency. It's one thing to not make any sudden moves when you're not sure about the health of your QB, but it's another to be among the top handful of teams in available cap space year after year after year. |

Such a difference from the King Carl-era when prolonged holdouts/pissing matches with players and their agents became standard operating procedure.

Can Veach get to work on the coronavirus vaccine so we can move past that?

Veach was the best GM in the NFL last year when he took a shoestring budget and in mid-damn-season turned our defense from worst to arguably top 5. This is just icing on the cake.
It's a perfect situation. Brilliant GM, team players, and a coach so damn good at this that his players will make sacrifices to stay on this team. |

Early on in his tenure there, they had a ton of cap space but hadn't built a foundation around Luck. Then Ballard steps in and gets that foundation built damn near overnight....and Luck walks away. He was tip-toeing forward last season w/ stuff like the Houston deal and then got more aggressive this season w/ a move like Buckner. But I think if he had Luck still you'd have seen a similar off-season in 2020 to what Veach did in 2019. Where I give a slight edge to Ballard is that I think he's the best pure eye for talent around right now. I look at that 2018 draft and am just in awe of the thing. And I think Turay is just scratching the surface and could be a force this year if he has recovered from his injury against us. DeCosta is another guy who deserves a nod here, but the track record is still too short. He ran that scouting department before he took over last year as GM in Baltimore and I think he's been the driving force behind their success for about a decade now. We'll see if he can continue that run with all the additional administrative burdens, but he's a damn good front office guy. |

He hasn't been GM long enough to make that claim but he is off to a hell of a start

Imagine Carl trying to get this done back in the day... He would have run off everyone.. and traded Mahomes for some draft picks and a brokedick 49er.
