Full disclosure: I’m a George Paton apologist. I think he has improved the talent level on the roster in two seasons as the general manager relative to the previous five.
George Paton was hired in January of 2021 to take over as the GM of the Denver Broncos. He has taken much flack recently for his part in hiring Nathaniel Hackett; for the contract that he gave Russell Wilson before taking a single snap for the Broncos; and for the signing of the injury-prone edge, Randy Gregory.
Let’s leave aside the Hackett hire (which was not solely his decision) and the Wilson contract (which could still look decent if Russ in 2023 plays like Russ in 2021); if you can’t you should just stop reading now.
