GREAT NEWS! Fingers Crossed!! (Xanders interview)

[MarinoEqualsGod]

Who is this dude?? Where from?

Helped build Broncos from 09-12, although John Elway had veto power. Drafted Demaryus Thomas with 22nd pick, Eric Decker in 2nd round, Von Miller, Knowshon Moreno, etc. Has been in Lions front office for past 2 years.

Biggest positive compared to others is that, as far as I know, he is the ONLY candidate we have who has actual General Manager experience.

 

[Phinatic8u]

Awesome.

My pick for GM.

 

[spiketex]

I disagree with hiring inexperienced OC. We deserve better. I do not trust Philbin's judgment at this point. Sorry! But Xanders is awesome, and this would be a great hire.

Prostyle - You were pushing for Xanders a week ago. Looks like some of us have finally caught up. Let's make it happen.
BTW - Convey my best regards to Dawn, I know that she is looking forward to negotiating with all of the player agents.

 

[Hayden Fox]

He would be a nice pick. I hate that it is a LAC report.

 

[phinasota]

He's the senior personnel exec for the Lions. Prior to the 13' season he was with the Denver Broncos.

Sweet! Thanks!

 

[Casas9425]

Is it just me, or do Xander and Lazor sound like the names of the lead characters in a Science Fiction movie?

X-Men.

Your preference would have been who?

didn't Elway get there in 2011? and what power did McDaniels have before that? either way he was part of a group that basically set the stage for this Bronco run.

Would be awesome.

The Broncos executed high-producing NFL Draft classes over the last three years, which finished #1 in the NFL in playtime and #2 in games started during 2010-12. There were nine primary starters from those draft classes, including three Pro Bowl players: LB Von Miller, WR Demaryius Thomas and OG Zane Beadles. The opening day roster of the 2013 Broncos had 18/25 starters from the draft classes from 2008-2012. There were also eight other Pro Bowl players who were acquired, signed or extended during his tenure: QB Peyton Manning (FA, 2012), SS Brian Dawkins (UFA, 2009–11), WR Brandon Lloyd (FA, 2009–11), RB Willis McGahee (FA, 2011), CB Champ Bailey (re-signed, 2011), DE Elvis Dumervil (re-signed, 2010), WR Brandon Marshall (re-signed, 2010), and OT Ryan Clady (1st round, 2008).

God dang he sounds good to me! Thanks for the info

 

[ProStyle]

Your preference would have been who?

Any experienced OC, Kubiak, Norv, Shanny. Such hire would tell me as a fan that the team is committed to winning the SB next season. This hire does the opposite for me, and that is unacceptable.

 

[roy_miami]

McDaniels had final say then Elway had final say. This Xander guy never had final say on the roster in Denver, not that it disqualifies him as a good candidate, just sayin'.

 

[nick1]

he would be ideal with Gamble off the table, Farmer would be a good 2nd option as well.

 

[DuderinoN703]

Has Kubiak looked for OC jobs? Kyle Shanahan, what is his track record that shows he's better than anyone else? And Norv Turner, what's he done lately to warrant a pass?

he helped develop Foles into a stud, thats good enough for me. develop our QB like that and we are cooking with gas
