Who would that be? That's almost much worse of a crap shoot as a Draft pick.Another GM.

Who has the power to fire Elway? Ellis?

Sure. It may be a situation where Elway takes a step back on full operational duties as president of football operations and hires a GM with more power, while he stays with the organization. I’m not sure he’d allow that, but it’s not working at the moment and some changes and some innovation are needed.
I think the ownership situation really complicates this, however.

You cant be scared of change, even if it means Elway. If Elway isnt getting it done than keeping him isnt the answer and will only make things worse.

The problem with the SB50 leadership is they became toxic when the offense started to struggle, they have been counterproductive ever since, imo.
From what I understand that locker room is a meat grinder when times are tough, dating back to Orton/Tebow, the main reason I like Flacco at this point.

Joe Ellis could fire Elway, but he would never do that. He doesn't want his legacy being the one who fired Elway and shoved him out the door to Dove Valley. They are long-term cronies and I think they both imagine retiring in a few years when Elway's contract expires.
If Pat Bowlen was in charge the team would have already changed direction or else Elway would be gone just like Pat fired Mike Shanahan when it was clearly not working.

Change for the sake of change is not a good strategy.
Prof Von HammurSchlong
Yea, but this isnt a case like that. Its pretty clear what Elway is doing isnt working.
Retiree
Elway has shown he can fix his drafting strategies. And I love the last two drafts. A's in my book. But he can't face the reality of the fact we need a rebuild and not a half-baked one. And he can't seem to find a workable head coach unless the roster is loaded from FA.
I don't know if it's change for the sake of change.

The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.

NO it's really not.
Sorry, this is a pet peeve of mine. I see this a lot. Sometimes this quote is also erroneously attributed to Einstein.
People do stuff all the time, over and over, and expect different results. Rationally, even.
