Matt Millen: 'I Stunk' at Being GM, John Elway Can Succeed

by FanHouse Staff

Filed under: Broncos, Lions

John Elway is following in Matt Millen's footsteps, taking over an NFL team with no prior experience in an NFL front office.

Millen was an abject failure as GM of the Lions from 2001 to 2008. His drafts mostly turned out terribly, and his teams were constantly at the bottom of the NFL. The last of those teams, in 2008, became the first squad ever to go 0-16.

Millen hopes Elway can succeed where he's failed.

"I hope John does better than I did, because I stunk at it," he said.
