Fire John Elway

[Ear2dastreets]

The only thing keeping Elway employed is the misperception among Bronco fans that COVID and injuries cost us this season. Elway always has an excuse for losing:

2016: “we just won the Super Bowl and lost Peyton.”
2017: “Vance Joseph is new, give him time.”
2018: “we need to find a QB”
2019: “give Lock and Fangio time to grow”
2020: “COVID and injuries cost us the season.”

how many more losing seasons before people see through Elway’s failure!

Preach!!!!! Agree 100%

[Ear2dastreets]

Really now? Ok how do you explain Phillip Rivers and the Colts or Tua Tagovailoa and the Dolphins or how about Brady and the Buccs?

Man I agree with this. If I hear someone else make an excuse about no offseason and covid im gonna scream.....

while I dont think we are a good team (maybe around 8-8 with a normal season) I dont think injuries and covid is an "excuse". Its just a fact. You lose nearly the entire secondary to injuries...I have no idea who these guys are covering right now. Two best players on the team missed the whole season. Half the guys playing right now are second string or much worse. Name me a team that had these types of issues and is doing well. 49ers have had it about as bad as us and...oh look about the same record and they were just in the superbowl.

With everything that happened I feel this is just a wasted season. I wanted this season to be used for finding out if lock is the real deal or not but now its just a throwaway season and we have to watch him play again next year. I dont think he will ever be good but its still possible I guess.

Let’s not pretend injuries and Covid-19 aren’t legitimate excuses.

The question is whether or not those excuses are enough to warrant another chance.

It's an excuse for some things but not everything. Lock being horribly inaccurate has nothing to do with Covid-19 or injuries. Elway drafting wide receivers 1-and-2 had nothing to do with Covid-19 or injuries. The offense's inability to consistently score points this late into the season has nothing to do with Covid-19 or injuries.

Here's the bottom line...if the plan is to cycle the exact same players, coaching staff, and front office next season, then don't expect anything different than what we saw last year, what we've seen this year, or what we've seen over the better part of 5 seasons now.

Lmao Sutton is the 2 best player on the team bow woooow.....News flash Sutton had "1" good season. Yall acting like this man was a 4 year pro bowler like a wr can never regress.

Boyue is not injured he is suspended.
Again outside of Sutton he offenseis in tact. Stop act like lock and Sutton has had years playing together and have a great relationship. Im not saying we should be a playoff team but better than we are now. Lock is doing what his was in college beating up on sorry teams and dis appear vs good teams. Even when we win its only by one td vs even the sorry teams lol.

[Ear2dastreets]

Let's not act like injuries and coivd didn't not affect all 32 teams. Im done with all the excuses.

I dont have my #1 so I can't put up 20 pts in games.

Are you for real? You think Elway's legacy will be forgotten because you are unhappy with him? LOL. I don't understand the mentality.

Elway is now 45-60 win/loss record post Manning and rated as the 20th ranked GM in the NFL. What legacy are you holding on to? 1997 & 98 or 2015? I guess if you're frozen in that time only and don't care what the Broncos look like now, you're probably all good. The JE fan club posters on here refuse to hold him accountable. This mess is 100% Elway's, coaches, players and record for past 5 years. You can spin it any way you want but it is what it is. We're a bottom dweller multi-year losing team that's barely competitive. That's how legacies are remembered. Just ask Matt Millen.

I agree. They run this coulda should woulda into the ground. Von was loss before the season started get over it. Sutton was loss in the 1st game get over it. At the end day you are what your record says you are.

It's gonna be worst bc he already said vic is coming back and he is gonna convince himself lock is the guy and bring him back...

Lock is what I thought he was. Its not gonna change..

Exactly and we should expect a 6th losing season

[Ear2dastreets]

Oh its coming....until we get a QB we will come into every season with at least 4 losses.

0-2 vs kc
1-1 vs raiders
1-1- vs chargercharger

4 losses right there....we can only lose like 3 more that would put us at 9-7 season and im being modest.

We badly need an owner, GM, HC, OC, QB, and several key position players before we return to any level of competitive again. Elway being what he is likely means we lose Harris, possibly Simmons, and who knows how many more that want to play for winning teams.

The only way things with the Broncos change is if Elway is either fired or steps down from his current position and the team is transferred to an actually owner, either via sale or by decree from the trust.

The only leftovers from the Super Bowl team are Von and McManus. Von will likely not be back in 2021 unless he's willing to take a drastic pay cut. That means that entering 2021, all the players the Broncos have drafted from 2016 onward only know losing in the NFL. That's such a toxic, incurable situation that only changes when everything is blown up and the Broncos start from square-one.
