    Default Practice / press conference notes - week 12 (Raiders week)

    Nothing official happening today, but it looks like Lynch will indeed get the start on Sunday:

    Orange & Blue 760‏ @OrangeBlue760
    35m35 minutes ago

    Elway on Paxton Lynch: “I talk to Vance every single day, we’ll talk about that, but ultimately it’s gonna be Vance’s decision...if you look at where we are, I’d anticipate at some point in time we’ll see Paxton.”

    Just got a text from a team source stating Paxton Lynch has been named #Broncos starting QB.

    I think Elway is trying to avoid 3 words "NFL Draft Bust." I think Paxton Lynch is a bust.

    I hope Paxton Lynch could fit in Bill Musgrave's offense.

    After 2 games? That's it?

    I'm thrilled to see what he can do so they know where to go next year with him.

    Well, we fired our OC this week and the Raiders apparently just fired their DC:

    Sources: The #Raiders have fired defensive coordinator Ken Norton, per @MikeSilver and me. Big change.

    Josina Anderson‏Verified account @JosinaAnderson
    now

    Breaking: Source: The #Raiders are relieving Ken Norton of his defensive coordinator duties. John Pagano will take over.

    Broncos GM John Elway to @OrangeBlue760 on his comments last week: "I was talking about everybody in the organization and the track record we have... I put myself first in line there... My job is not to be liked. My job is to win football games."

    #Broncos Paxton Lynch will start against Oakland. Denver winless on road and thrown 8 picks. Time to see what Lynch can do. #Denver7 http://bit.ly/2jcps4Z

    Elway on soft comments reaction from players: “I was talking about everybody in the organization, and the track record we’ve had...when you’ve had success sometimes you get soft. I’d put myself at the front...I knew before I said it that some guys were not gonna like that.”

    Ditto. Not sure how the sentiment soured so much on Lynch in one off season, considering he was always considered a multi year project.

    Default Soft? John Elway said comment was directed at entire organization. Himself included.

    Brandon Marshall took offense. Vance Joseph was initially taken aback. Von Miller was a bit, too.

    John Elway‘s four-letter description of his team — that it got “soft” since the bye — struck a chord with players.

    “I felt like if anybody has any type of pride about them, it should have struck a competitive chord,” Marshall said Monday. “I wasn’t taking shots at him. I think everybody said, ‘Oh, he’s taking shots at the GM.’ That’s just ridiculous. I’m a competitive guy and I have skin in the game. I’m out here running around busting my tail, so if somebody said that, it really makes me feel some type of way.”

    Tuesday, in an interview with Orange and Blue 760 radio’s Dave Logan, Elway explained his thinking and why he falls under the label of “soft,” too.

    “I think first of all if you think about the comment: No. 1 I was talking about everybody. … I wasn’t just talking about the football team and I wasn’t just talking about the coaches. I was talking about everybody in the organization and kind of the track record that we’ve had. And sometimes success will make you soft and you won’t pay attention to some of the details that you need to pay attention to. I put myself first in line there. … ‘Wait, I got to think about this and we’ve got to now put the hammer back down and get back to our winning ways.'”

    Logan, a former NFL receiver, told Elway that if someone had called him soft, he would have had a similar reaction to Broncos players. He, too, would have been offended.

    “Now, if someone took offense to that, I would understand that,” Elway continued. “And you know what? I would have welcomed a response that you just told me, that you would’ve gotten mad. That was the intent, that at some point in time we needed a little jolt and I knew before I said it that some guys weren’t going to like it. But my job is not to be liked. My job is to try to win football games. So therefore, I made that comment and hopefully we can get this thing going.”

    I agree. The 7th round QB gets 1.5 years to show what he can do, but the 1st round QB only gets 2 games? Makes no sense to me.

    Yup, Oakland was an ideal first game for PL cause they suck in pass defense.

    Fans can sometimes be emo and irrational. It's ridiculous how so many fans have labeled Lynch a bust after 2.5 games.

    If he had improved at all from last year, he would have won the job in preseason. Too much talk of him not being mentally ready. I hope for the sake of the team that he’s good but has anyone seen evidence of this at any point since we drafted him?
