Quote from: LennG on May 03, 2024, 08:25:21 PMThat is correct Kat, but in those days, when Wellington was the boss, our GM, Mr. Young, was lord and master over everything. To the best of my memory, Wellington never meddled into anything Giants business. Young did as he pleased, hired, fired, drafted and if he needed to run it by Wellington, which I doubt, it was just a sign-off. We used to say the BM of the Giants was a job for life unless they wanted to step down. I believe Accorias had similar power, It wasn't until Wellington passed and John took over, that the meddling started. Now our GM is more of a figurehead if he ahs to get John to sign off on everything.Len, he agreed to the job only if he had that autonomy. It was part of the deal brokered by Rozelle. And one of his first moves in his rebuild. Knowing a QB was the essential first step. He drafted Phil Simms.
