Well, we were wondering who the scapegoat would be this year...and we thought it was just Jim Bates! However word around the ESPN campfire is that Mike Shanahan's Scapegoat Club now has another member. Batesy, Jake Plummer, Brian Griese, and Larry Coyer have been joined by yet another meaningless layer of the Broncos' decision onion..."GM" Ted Sundquist is now unemployed.
We'd like to congratulate the Broncos for taking steps to improve their management team. Perhaps next, instead of firing the yes-man who does the paperwork, maybe the person who was directly responsible for almost every Broncos personnel move for the last 10 years can get the boot. Mike Shanahan is and has always been the shot caller in Denver. Sundquist was just his gofer.
Shanahan: "I want Jake Plummer." Sundquist: "Sure boss!"
Shanny: "I don't want Plummer anymore. Draft the best QB available." Sunny: "Sure boss!"
Shanny: "Larry Coyer displeases me. I want to hire my buddy Jim." Sunny: "Sure boss!"
Shanny: "Okay, my buddy Jim sucks. Lean on him to step down." Sunny: "Gun or crowbar, boss?"
And so on.
Mike Shanahan has been the man writing checks that his results can't cash. Ted Sundquist? He was just a gleefully willing Mr. Greenjeans the mailman, delivering Shanny's orders with little alteration. We aren't sad to see Sunny go, but for Jake's sakes, can we finally start blaming SHANAHAN for the team's failures???
WHO ELSE IS LEFT???

Hey I understand you guys want Shanahan fired and nailed to a cross, but look at what has happened to the Miami Dolphins. That team has been a disgrace ever since Wanny left. They have been out of the playoff picture for many years now and they don't seem to be close to remotely being on the right track. But I guess that's what you guys would prefer here right?
What I'm saying is I want stability within the Broncos organization. I think Shanahan should remain the head coach for as long as he wishes because this team needs him. What we haven't won a Super Bowl for 10+ years? Didn't the Dolphins go 20+ years without a Super Bowl while Don Shula was their head coach? I know what your thinking Shanahan is not Shula but the Dolphins were patient not to jump to conclusions and shake up their personnel.
Simply put....My Broncos are better off with Shanahan on the field than someone who would leave the organization as soon as a college job opens up.

yup.
Also, what do you guys think of us not resigning Jason Elam? You the, the guy that won half our games last year.
Plummer to the Falcons, or Panthers!!!!
"I think Jay is the guy," he said. "I'm answering those questions until they find the guy, and Jay's got the chance to do it. Jake did a good job, but Cutler is just a different guy, a different style, a guy who can drop back and throw the ball downfield." John Elway.
Elway has spoken...
Sorry to keep posting random things, but I thought LPP would like to know his ol buddy Andrew Mason was fired.
