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'.
He basically held Elway's hand when Elway came in. Elway essentially 'learned on the job' from him.
I think Xanders would be a home run. I really, really hope they don't screw around and hire one of Peterson's boys just because they're Peterson's boys.
