Chiefs So are Dorsey/Veach still just puppets to Andy when it comes to personnel? - Page 3

People said that about Dorsey. And they DEFINITELY said that about Veach when he first got hired, given he was young and a former protege of Reid, and Dorsey had just gotten fired.

The past few offseason strategies and types of players we acquire/sign has been so remarkably different under Veach that I don't know how anybody with a real brain can convince themselves that Andy Reid is actually the one who has final say or even says, "Here, go find me these players." Yes, they collaborate, but that's what ALL NFL coach/GM relationships should do when it comes to personnel acquisition and drafting.

When has Andy as a GM in Philly EVER so aggressively completely ****ing renovated entire position groups in single offseasons? We've seen Veach do this shit twice now, once with the defense and now with the OL. When has Andy "in charge" ever done that shit?

It's what I tried to tell some of you. The Chiefs said it's a collaboration, but that the GM has the "final say." They were pretty clear about that. The draft strategy is Veach's. The draft scouting is Veach's. The free agency strategy is Veach's. The team is Veach's pretty squarely Veach's to scout and construct, and Andy's to coach.

In his press conferences, Veach comes off as a guy who is in total command of his position. His confidence, knowledge, and passion for his job shows big time. I'm sure he is in contact with both Andy and Clark, as Clark outlined in the hiring of this regime. But at the same time he comes of as one who is comfortable in his own skin and his own job. Yes man? No chance. Power/control freak? Don't see it. Team player who knows his role and knows it well? Sure seems like it.
