Elway should look at the Bucs operation for some ideas on getting the fans back. Coach Morris and the whole team have been available to the media all season. Morris is a no nonsense guy that tells it like it is. The local sports station here,WDAE, has carried a live call in show monday through thursday with direct access to the team leaders /playmakers including Coach Morris , Josh Freeman , and even G. M. Mark Dominik .

Does this hire really matter?

OAK will still own the Donkey asses for years to come!

Elway’s got the right idea – knowing what you don’t know is one key to success

Unfortuately I think there’s some things that Elway THINKS he knows that he actually doesn’t

That’s the true challenge for him

the organization and the fans are embarrassed by that which was Josh. this is exactly what the team needs to recapture its credibility. A PR move no doubt, but the right thing to do.

He did a great impression of head cheerleader on ESPN today. Living in the past doesn’t seem to make it in the NFL, where what have you done lately is the motto. Good luck Denver fans.

Probably pretty difficult to be WORSE than J. McDaniels….so, what’s he got to lose?

Are we forgetting that this is a business and it’s about getting money out of people’s wallets?

Elway was the best hire in this regard.

He must know a lot, since he doesn’t know a lot.

The best leaders surround themselves with people who know more than themselves in such areas.

Why not Jerry West Part 2?

Matt Millen Part 2

With that in mind, Elway will hire a mathematician to deal with any issues involving advanced trigonometry, a linguist to ensure proper attribution of historical quotes in his speeches, and a wildlife biologist to advise him on matters pertaining to plant and animal species native to the area.

To better focus on running the football operations himself.

He’s pre-emptively setting the other guys up to take the fall. I dub thee “Teflon John” in the proud tradition of Teflon Mike. Tebow must have signed off on the hiring. After all, he is Jesus in cleats and pre-destined to win every game he plays forever more. Mr. Ed Elway can be the white horse Lord Tebow rides into paradise! It’s all over but the shouting, why even play the games huh donk fans?

“I’ve played quite a lot of golf,” Elway said. “I’m not done playing golf, but I’m not going to play as much as I was.”

There’s all you need to know, Broncos fans.

Now if he can find another Terrell Davis, maybe the Broncos can win another Super Bowl. It worked last time.

“I know what I don’t know, and I’m going to hire to what I don’t know”

Wow. Who knew John Elway was enlightened?

Hung Mung slapped his buttocks, hopped about, and shook his head, saying, “I do not know; I do not know!”

Nobody’s actually under the impression that he’s there to do anything other than put asses in the seats, right?

Yeah, I don’t know how you so easily dismiss Elway’s potential in this position. His comments already begin to prone out what I posted earlier.

“the men who have earned their stripes by grinding for years” How many of those guys have a degree from Stanford, have won 2 Superbowls as a QB, and won a championship as an executive? (although I assume that championship is from arena league or something) Just saying, I doubt Elway is a dummy and I’m sure he’s going to surround himself with similarly intelligent people.

Sounds like Xanders will be running things (doing the hard stuff), while Elway will be more like a figurehead (attending the balls and charity functions). Like the Queen.

I guess there is no intent on learning, just throw the hard part of the job to someone else.
