I'm not insulting your intelligence. I have zero idea about your intelligence, and I couldn't care less. But, I've just spent about 2 weeks listening to 104.3 the Fan radio and they are ALL saying the same thing. And if you listened you would know it too.
All that happened is that Rick Dennison and the other offensive coaches were bad-mouthing Paxton Lynch as they left town. They talked "off the record" about his supposedly poor work effort and film study habits.
The things I said are blindingly obvious stuff to people who are paying attention to what the sports writers and radio guys are saying, all based on having "off the record" talks with former Broncos coaches.
What happened is that Kubiak and Dennison became progressively less and less enthusiastic about Lynch - to the point that they refused to even play him in a meaningless last game of the season, when they were up by 24-0 against the awesome Connor Cook, and a Raiders team that was psychologically devastated by the loss of Derek Carr.
Meanwhile Elway and the personnel people became more and more unhappy about the lack of development of Lynch during the season. They invested a ton in this guy and want to know why he's not being given a chance.
Some reports are that Elway lobbied hard to have Lynch named the starter during the season, after the second loss to KC.
It's now definite, confirmed from multiple sources that there was a disconnect inside Dove Valley between Elway and the personnel people and Kubiak and his assistant coaches.
And those "sources" are the fired assistant coaches. They just don't want to go on the record attacking Elway because that would be a bad career move. You don't advantage your career in the NFL by insulting the powers that be. Even if you are right.
Especially if you are right. It's taken as a sign that you have issues following the chain of command, like a loud-mouthed colonel who keeps pointing out what an idiot the commanding general is. Well, maybe the general IS an idiot, but is there any advantage in saying so publicly?
