Chris Ballard told Veach to prepare for GM interviews 2 years ago. He reached out and helped Brett prepare for the Chiefs interview. People don't make public proclamations if they don't believe in the person their endorsing. Quote:

A bunch of people are citing the salary cap as why Dorsey got fired but the cap is not in bad shape. Cutting Maclin hurt but the cap next year is going to be ok. Cuts next yr/cap space freed up Alex Smith - 17m Tamba Hali - 7m Jah Reid - 3.2 Derrick Johnson - 8m Demetrius Harris - 2m Plenty of cap flexibility for us next year all because of Dorsey's lousy cap management. We'll still have an issue at linebacker unless some players step up this year though. |

And if Veach was the "right man for the job", then why wasn't he hired as Chiefs GM in the first place? I'm beginning to think that Clark Hunt is the shittiest businessman in the entire NFL. Would you like to know what "Chiefs bad luck" really is? It's Chiefs decision-making. |

I think my ability to go in there and challenge him in different areas raised his game. And I think that he always understood that, when I came to him with an idea, with a solution to a problem, that it was well-thought out and well-researched. We have a great deal of trust and respect.” |

When Reid was in charge of personnel it wasn't a secret. That's something that would be incredibly hard to keep away from the local media and fans. It's very ignorant to think otherwise. Do you really believe that somebody would sign up to be GM knowing that it will be them that catches shit when Reid makes a bad decision? Besides, Reid himself has said he doesn't even want to ever do that again. Why would he with the success he's had since he went back to HC only? Also, I'm not an Alex ball washer so I don't really see the point in bringing him up. Last edited by staylor26; 07-27-2017 at 07:14 PM.. |

Dorsey was Andy's best friend and he brought him in the same way, so it's fair to give Veach a fair shot. I didn't like Clark waiting so long to fire Dorsey, but Veach was a big part of the success here. Guess we'll see in 3 years |

If he had said "Okay, that's it. Veach, the job is yours", it would be an entirely different scenario. But trying to reason with a butt****ing moron is fruitless. |

I think I'm more excited now about Veach than I was Dorsey when we hired him.
I think we will be better than we'll be fine Do you agree Simply Red? |

I see it like this. Dorsey is a checkers kind of guy, good at scouting and drafting was able to clear the board. Good at one dimensional GM duties. Brett Veach is a Chess kind of guy and it takes more skill to play. He is good at crunching numbers and negotiations and sees the big picture. He sacrifices players but is two or three moves ahead of the game so he can checkmate his opponents. So I think that's what Clark Hunt sees in Brett Veach and the difference between them. Brett Veach is still a good or excellent scout so we won't be losing anything there.
