I said “this year.” None of those guys are here this year. I don’t care about looking back, I want to look forward and there is some good young talent on this team. I’m not willing to blow it up because Vance Joseph was a bad hire or because Joe Flacco was terrible.
Basically your logic is this: don't care about the last years because its all in the past, but i actually don't care about this year either because of injuries. So essentially Elway gets a pass no matter what.
We have young talent that can transition with a new FO. Thats not an excuse to keep a regime that isn't working.Last edited by TheAsianPA; 11-22-2020, 05:27 PM.Superbowl 50 Champions!

People often mention Vance, but if he was paired with a good offensive coordinator and solid GM, he wouldn't have been bad. Broncos defense was still amazing under him, which was the point, he's a defensive coach. But as mentioned before, you won't see a defensive coordinator as head coach succeed if he doesn't have a offensive coordinator that knocks it out the park on offense. Mike McCoy was his coordinator, whom got fired mid season(27th ranked offense). 2018 the coordinator was Musgrave(24th ranked Offense). 2017 he had Paxton Lynch, 2018 he had Case Keenum.
A defensive head coach had Lynch and Keenum as his QB's with 27th and 28th ranked offenses. If anyone expected success they are fooling themselves. Vance was the scapegoat by the fans. He wasn't the problem.
The problem is John Elway.sigpic

Vance wasn’t great but he wasn’t as bad as people make him out to be.sigpic

Until the ownership situation is sorted out I don’t think firing Elway makes sense. The trust that’s in place likes Elway because he takes pressure off of them. If Elway is fired and his replacement doesn’t succeed then everyone will start looking at them. They are sitting back getting paid. I would love to see the team sold to an owner who has the money and desire to win the Pat Bowlen did when he bought the team.sigpic

Pat was a great owner but I just don’t have faith in any of his kids to run the team like he did or like a hungry owner with the desire to win would.sigpic

I disagree with firing Elway.
He has been instrumental in free agent acquisitions and signings. He has kept our salary cap out of trouble and out of the red. He is an excellent negotiator. He excels in every area except the draft.
He just needs his draft privileges revoked. He can’t draft a QB or OL to save his life. The Broncos need a specialist who can evaluate QB talent and one who can evaluate OL talent.Super Bowl XXXII, XXXIII & 50 Champs

But he does have connections to Colorado from his youth.
With that being said, I wouldn't mind seeing the Broncos going to the first Black owner in nfl history, over continuing with the "Joe Ellis train wreck".

I am wondering how the draft will go, because I am not sure what to expect from Drew these days. Odds are in his favour, as he is so young and relatively inexperienced. Yesterday he starts poorly but has an ok game. That's good.
My concern would be that he finishes the season in any form of disappointment, because it does mess with the draft strategy, once again. Do we have to search for yet another QB, or can we move forward confidently with Lock?
Lots of games left, so this is not a pressing matter. Hopefully we will see some progress in these last 6 regular season games. That might be all we need to know.

I think regardless of whether the team thinks Lock is the guy or not, you still have to build the team as if he is. This win almost undoubtedly takes us out of the running for Fields/Lawrence and I don’t think any other QB is an improvement over Lock so we’d be starting back at square one trying to develop a guy that may or may not have it. A lot of pieces are already in place, the only real hole on offense (outside of the QB question) is RT. If that gets addressed, Risner/Glasgow reverse course on their regression, and Cushenberry improves with an actual offseason we will have the best offense and it’ll just be on Drew to make it happen. If he doesn’t then you’ve set your next rookie QB up for success
If you can’t get Fields or Lawrence, make it work with Lock.My Opinion isn’t determined by what the Popular Opinion is. Sometimes I agree with the Majority, Sometimes I Don’t. If My Opinion is Different than Yours, I have to Ask One Question:
You Mad Bro?

I love how now the blame has now shifted to the ownership, and a few Elway apologists are even predicting no change until that situation is rectified, please. Elway is still trying, how has lack of management affected his ability to perform ? Elway on his exuberant salary still has the cash at his disposal and is just spending it poorly year after year. Elway has still had the same privileges as when Bowlen was around when it comes to the draft, he wasn't good at it then and he remains bad at it now. The fact is an inability to draft by Elway for an extended period has led us here, and as some people have seen now for years, Elway is just not good at his job.
