Broncofan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) 5 minutes ago, AnAngryAmerican said: If Kahn gives his new leadership full control, that’s a nice spot - clean slate, cap room, tons of premium picks, Trevor Lawrence - plus it’s a nice spot to live. Atlanta has a real owner who spends on everything and seems seriously committed. Not a bad job given that it’s almost a clean slate and has a legit QB with some years left and some talent on the roster. I’d put the Chargers next. The problem is ownership. Atlanta has better ownership but the Chargers have a younger QB who looks legit. I’d just rather work for Blank than for Spanos. Then us. We are what we are. Detroit and the Jets are and have been a total mess for decades; I’d take those jobs only as a last resort. FWIW, LAC is only looking for a HC, not a GM. Telesco is safe - him drafting Herbert and his record of building from the draft had him a lot safer than Anthony Lynn was. From a HC perspective, LAC has to be either #1 or #2, depending on your view of JAX's overall direction (#1 cap space and Trevor Lawrence in the fold).

I think they got lucky how all the ownership stuff worked out and Robinson hit (for now) with Tannehill and Henry. I see things crashing back down to Earth before too long. We’ve done Patriot Way before and it didn’t work. The draft of AJ Brown and Simmons was phenomenal they good a pro bowl lineman in the 3rd I disagree. I like him a lot. Tannehill trade was 10 times better than Flacco and cheaper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One probowler drafted since 2013 carson wentz disgraceful Roseman built a SB winner 1 year after Elway did. And he drafted Hurts when everyone thought it was a crazy pick with Wentz the starter. They've made the playoffs in 2 of the 3 years since then. If Elway wasn't in danger of losing his job with 1 extra year and no playoff years, Roseman was? That's a lot of recency bias. I mean, it's not that crazy he's saved his job, or that he was in trouble (like Elway has been the last 2 years, but that's a long way off to getting the pink slip). But like Elway, his seat is red-hot next season. Hurts ironically probably saved him & Pederson. Edited January 4, 2021 by Broncofan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 BTW, it should be said right now - good on Elway for knowing when it's time to step down as GM. I would have NEVER thought he'd go out that way - the great ones rarely can see the end coming on the field, or in this case, in the FO. Then again, Elway went out on top after '99 - he's not going out on top, but it's nice that the org doesn't have to give him the pink slip. He chose wisely here. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Roseman's on the hot seat now - but frankly, if Elway had that record, he'd still be the GM today. And while some of us would despair, we'd be laughed out of the room to suggest otherwise.

But he’s swung and missed on 2 HCs now - Lynn and McCoy - OUCH. He’s got to be on a short lease but, again, and why I wouldn’t take a job, is the Spanos family’s rank incompetence.

AnAngryAmerican Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 (edited) What if Elway hires Peyton to be GM? Seriously. What if that’s what’s we do? The new owner wouldn’t dare to fire Peyton Manning, at least not after a year. Peyton as the GM and an Elway’s heir-apparent as president, Ellis buys himself, and Brittany, time.

I see Peyton more on the investment group side, but could be wrong. Is GM work something he’s hinted at wanting to do? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a case where the cap saves franchises. I feel bad for SD though they didn’t deserve that. The day the Spanos family cedes control I’d hope they move back to SD. Unlikely for a while.

7DnBrnc53 Posted January 4, 2021 Share Posted January 4, 2021 I'm not surprised that something like this happened, especially with another losing season, and a QB that may or may not be the man. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
