I think people worry about how brash he can be and if it rubs the players the wrong way, but my experience with people is that they very much appreciate candid honesty. I'm sure Backlund had heard that before, and really appreciates the truth, and hearing about how he's made his management team change their minds on him and his value to the organization.

This is it. Good for Burke to say it. Anyone who has ever criticized Backlund here in the past is now called "Backlund hater" as in triumphant "What do you say now Backlund haters?!". He did play below expectations for a long time. It's good to hear the same assessment from the top. Looks like it didn't stop Backlund from getting into the groove.
