They were admin and Ops positions.

Yeah, the title helps take the sting out of the humiliation of parading the ol pachyderm trunk on national tv.

Exactly yeah. It would have been a pain in the ass if i did get one of the positions with commuting like that but would have been cool to have an NFL job in any capacity. I did think i had a shot at an interview just because of my resume but whatever.

But don’t worry, Cugel will say something to contradict it later.

I guess I'm wondering why they can't do both? It's not like Flacco is some bum off the street - he's been successful in this league, and as far as I know there weren't any "better" QB's available. We did draft a QB that was 1st round rated, who happened to slip into the 2nd round (where we moved up to grab him).

I think they can do both. Have a decent to good veteran QB in place while the kid learns. Flacco is not a multi-year solution unless he lights up the field (which is probably beyond wishful thinking). Plus, he's light years ahead of having Keenum on staff for the kid to watch.

Have we paid this dude yet?

I don't think so, but if they don't, we'll probably go 0-16 per a highly placed source and the Broncos will fold due to lack of fan support.

Yes teams can both rebuild and be a competitive at the same times. The Raiders use to be very good at that, the Patriots have done it several times, the common factor is a core of players you and rebuild around.

They’re clearly doing both, which they’ve tried several times in the past. My contention is that first round-rated quarterbacks are ready to play, and have been for about five years. I think it wastes having time with a cheap, quality quarterback, and it will hinder Lock because he won’t be getting reps, Flacco will. Elway obviously disagrees with me, but we’ve seen this not work twice for him and I’m surprised he’s gone back to the well.

This has been my point of contention for years. I love Elway, but he has had a half-baked approach to a rebuild and 'contending' at the same time.

That being said, if Flacco doesn't work out, we have a viable option, a real damned viable option. We drafted Lynch knowing that he was lazy, still did it, so in the past we didn't have a viable option with any QB on the roster.

That's my solace.

I honestly don't think he was seriously planning to take Lock until he kinda fell into our lap. I think he liked him, but knew it was more important to build around Flacco, hence Fant in the first round. Once we had a chance to grab him in the second he probably felt like it was too good of a value not to roll the dice there, and I can't say I blame him.

I don't think they did all their homework on Lynch and Elway knew thwy had to do things differently going forward.

Im hoping he learned from his mistakes, especially in regards to VJ, which was his biggest whiff.
