If Elway the GM wasn't a HOF QB

[Iggloo]

He would have been fired some time ago, I think we can all agree to that. But at what point does Denver fire its Hall of Fame QB and hire a real GM?

Broncos starting QBs since Manning retired:

Brock Osweiler
Trevor Siemian
Paxton Lynch
Case Keenum
Joe Flacco

The man is basically running a social experiment--how bad can I be before I get fired.

Didn't Tim Tebow start a few games as well?

 

[Iggloo]

I only counted the QBs after Manning. If you go before, and look at all QBs since Elway took over in 2011, yes they included Tim Tebow and Kyle Orton.

Elway did of course help win a Super Bowl under Manning, and had a number of good defensive draft picks. But his evaluation at QB has been downright awful, other than bringing in Manning, which is something any guy on a barstool coud have identified as a good move.

Isn't Bowlen's daughter calling the shots now as a owner ?

 

[FaCe-LeE-uS]

Elway is running the Broncos like its the 90's and his head is so far up his own ass to notice the NFL has passed him, and that era, by.

Elway is better suited as a PR stunt, like an ambassador of sorts.

But because he signed Peyton Manning he will be forever exonerated.

I get what you're saying but to be fair, if the defense don't allow a last second drive 2x at home then they're 2-2.

There's an ownership fight right now over there, so that would surprise me.

They're getting "good" Flacco this month, and it has amounted to nothing is another way to say that. This is very not good.

 

[Mebert]

There is a reason that Elway does not know what a good QB prospect looks like.

After Manning? no.

I live in BroncosCountry. And last year I had to hear how lousy of a coach Vance Joseph was. Well before yesterday the Broncos were 0-3 for the 1st time since 1999. Now they're 0-4. So Where's the outrage from those idiot Broncos fans about Fangio's 0-4 start? Bunch of hypocrites.

After Manning? no.

Before Peyton. He took over for Orton and went into playoffs, beating Pitt first game and then losing to NE

hes awful

 

[Sparhawk]

I have to give Elway credit for creating one of the best football video games of all time.
Using the little joystick to control the pass was quite innovative for the time.
Intellivision-like, if you will....

Yup. But the OP's list was "After Manning".

 

[Ricky Roma]

Someone has to come in and basically do what Jerry Jones did to Landry, Schramm, etc.

 

[Shanemansj13]

He's about as overrated as a GM as he was a player lol

Well...be glad he's not drafting a WR in the first round every year.

Have always said other than Manning falling into his lap he has been a disaster when it comes to QBs. Maybe he's hoping another all time great near the end of his career gets hurt, their team secures the #1 pick and they let the all timer walk?
