NBC Sports Edge, the Artist Formerly Known As Rotoworld, has issued annual General Manager rankings for years now. They’re always well-thought and well-reasoned articles. This year, author Patrick Daugherty holds Steelers’ GM Kevin Colbert in high regards, calling him the second best general manager in football.
In explaining his ranking, Daugherty writes:
“21st-year GM Kevin Colbert assembled an 11-0 roster. You’ll never guess what happened next. Despite last year’s collapse, Colbert’s 21st century team building is rivaled by only one man: Bill Belichick. Colbert’s squads have posted one losing season in 21 years, winning 10-plus games 13 times.
