Longshot For New GM

[Garthshort]

If the season ends badly as I think it will and SK is let go, how about Carson Palmer becoming our John Elway? He does know FB and seems pretty intelligent. Granted, like Elway and John Lynch and Mike Mayock, he has zero FO experience, but would bring a lot of positive intangibles to the job. Anyone agree?

 

[juza76]

Yeah the GM doesn't need to have an economist or financial background, other people has to work with him having this type of knowledge
We need just football knowledge and foresee the player development in the NFL
Carson Palmer can be the guy, more then Adrian Wilson

 

[cardsfanmd]

In the event that we make the mistake of letting Keim go (which I don’t think, for a second, we will), Mike B will prob appoint Adub.

Do you think he's done a good job?

We just went through as difficult an opening 4 game stretch as I can remember. Opening with Detroit, Baltimore, Carolina, and Seattle would be a physical challenge for most teams in the NFL. Add a rookie HC, rookie QB, and losing both a HoF CB, and an All Pro CB, and the results shouldn't be a complete surprise. It's hardly a death knell for the remainder of the season. Instead of talking about future GM prospects, I'd rather look forward to continued improvement across the board. PP21 only has 2 more games on his suspension & I hope we see Alford a few games after that. Excited to see the Thompsons get more playing time. KK & K1 will continue to improve & let's hope the OL stays relatively healthy & gels a little bit.

The way things are going for the Broncos, I don't know if we'd want John Elway to be our John Elway.
If you're thinking about former players, how about Larry Fitzgerald, after he retires, of course.

Elway sucks, I don't want my own Elway

Elway has a SB as a GM I’d take that all day everyday

 

[TJ]

I get no vibe that he wants anything to do with front office work. I think he’d rather hang out with his family, surf, and relax in his cabin for the rest of his life

Yea because of Peyton & players wanting to play with Peyton.

His draft record is just as bad as Keim’s.

 

[Dougmo]

What about Kurt Warner?

 

[az jam]

Eliot Wolf would be my choice. Son of Ron Wolf, worked long time for Packers and is now Assistant GM for Browns. Also just 37 years old.

But does he have a SB? Peyton was awful the year they won FWIW.

 

[Garthshort]

Kurt Warner would be another long shot possibility.

Take those rose colored glasses off
The team planned from October of last year through today for a plan to be playing in next years playoffs....they planned and executed that plan and when the goal is to be playing in February they’re DONE, KOd in September.
That’s like training for a marathon all year and quitting after the first mile.
You’d laugh and wonder what the heck is wrong with any person who did that...that’s the Cardinals
O and add your now $40 million less than all the people who won the race going into next year and have nothing to show for it.
A broke loser is one way to call it what it is

Go see what Bronco fans say about him now.

 

[ARZCardinals]

Yea with Peyton Manning at QB
Every year without Peyton
Not so good

 

[Ronin]

Aeneas Williams. Boom.do it.

Playoffs, are we talking playoffs Trust me, I lost my rose colored glasses about 3-4 years ago. All I'm saying is that we can continue to make adjustments & improve. Maybe, just maybe that amounts to 3-4 wins this year. Our D can be significantly better adding PP21 & Alford back into the equation. Maybe the OL can stay healthy enough to gel just a tad. No playoffs, but improvement should be our goal the rest of the way.

I am thinking maybe one win this year at the most and that would be stealing one.

Elway recently has worked out so well for the Broncos

 

[Krangodnzr]

But does he have a SB? Peyton was awful the year they won FWIW.

The majority of the good players on that team were holdovers from BEFORE the Elway era. There has been numerous articles written about Elway's inability to find ANY good players.

Drew Lock is going to be an absolute disaster when he plays.

 

[BigRedRage]

nope. If we drop Keim we "should" hire an experienced GM.

I think this is reasonable, and really what I expect to see as we get into the 2nd half of the schedule.

Less penalties. Less wasted timeouts. More yards and points per game, less yards allowed and points allowed per game (as compared to the first half of the season).

The interesting thing about Eliot Wolf is he would more than like on board with K1 and K2 since he is watching what mayfield is doing.
