I also figure that if you're some no-name ruling council person, there's a big self-sacrifice involved in firing Elway. I think a lot of Broncos fans have figured out that he's a failure, but there'll always be a large number who look at him like Pepe Le Pew looked at that female cat. The person who fires Elway will be vilified by half of Broncos fans who can't rationally see the problem, and hated by the other half because it proved the emperor had no clothes.
It's going to take one of those Bowlen chicks winning the war, figuring out how football works, and then realizing that the egotistic old sot telling 1988-era stories in the big office is the reason. That's going to take a while.

Nobody on the Board of Trustees is qualified to suss out a new GM...so Horseface is there until he decides to quit.
The only reason I can see doing this bizzare Flacco trade is they have their sights on the 2020 QB class. A lot of teams who need QBs are either going to sign a vet or draft one...Miami, Giants, Washington, and Jags....that leaves the Chargers, Pats, Saints and Steelers...maybe the Bucs in play after the season. Donks will likely be the worst of all of them...I think they wanted Herbert. I could see Arizona trying to flip Rosen and taking Murray (which I would do )...so all four of those teams with an aging QB might bite. Chargers get a Cali boy QB....that makes too much marketing sense to pass up.
Maybe Horseface is trying to mask the fact he (his new staff) finally recognized they are rebuilding...and can keep Flacco on a year to year.
With Mahomes in the division...you cant draft Lock and expect to compete head to head. He might be tanking for Lawrence in a few years...
