Vance Joseph
Noah Fant Jersey 2019 , but CEO Joe Ellis made it clear at a press conference this week that firing General Manager John Elway wasn’t under serious
consideration.Some have opined that it should be given the talent that Joseph
was given to work with and veteran cornerback Chris Harris‘ belief that the team
has failed to evolve in the three years since Peyton Manning retired did little
to fend off critiques of Elway’s work.?In an interview with Mike Klis of KUSA,
Elway called that criticism “part of the job” and said that he should be held to
the same standard as “anybody else in this position.”That led to a question
about whether his history with the Broncos means that the standard is different.
Elway said“My path, my history here in Denver does not have anything to do with
what?? going to happen going forward,” Elway said. “I get that. We won five and
six games the last two years and it?? my job to get that fixed. … I?? just like
everybody else and I have been my whole life. You [reporters] put me on a
pedestal. My mindset has always been the same in the fact that I?? only as good
as the people around me and people that I hire and that work together and try to
get the best solution for problems that we do have. It?? a great challenge for
us. Disappointed about it, but it?? also a new start for us.”The Broncos won
five division titles, advanced to two Super Bowls and won one in Elway’s first
five years as an executive and that kind of run buys time to get it right. The
last three years have been much less successful as the team and it will be a lot
harder to argue that the past isn’t affecting the present or future if his job
security remains unchanged in the face of further struggles. DENVER (AP) —
Denver Broncos backup quarterback Chad Kelly was arrested Tuesday on suspicion
of criminal trespass after a couple reported he came into their suburban house
uninvited and sat down on their couch “mumbling incoherently,” according to
court records.General manager John Elway said the team was “very, very
disappointed in Chad and the situation he put himself into” and suggested the
Broncos were pondering Kelly’s future with the club.Kelly attended a Halloween
costume party hosted by Von Miller on Monday night that has long been a
tradition for Broncos players and their significant others.The Broncos were
trying to figure out what happened after Kelly left the party.“We are in the
process of getting all the facts and talking to Chad, and then we’ll figure out
exactly which direction we’re going to go,” Elway said on his weekly radio show
on Orange & Blue 760. “When the team has a get-together, (it) is always a
good thing. You like . when they get together and the camaraderie that goes
along with being a team. But when you have one person that kind of puts a dent
in the whole process, it’s very disappointing.“We’re going to look into this,
and look into it very seriously, because the charges are very, very serious and
we understand that,” Elway said. “We will look into this and then make decisions
as we go.”The 24-year-old Kelly posted $2

into their Englewood home after 1 a.m. The intruder sat down on the couch next
to the woman, who was holding the couple’s young child, and was “mumbling
incoherently,” according to the records.The man yelled at the intruder to get
out and hit him in the back with an aluminum tube from a vacuum. The homeowners
showed police surveillance video of a man wearing dark pants, a white long
sleeve shirt with a brown vest and a red scarf around his neck entering the
front door.The homeowner told police he thought the door was locked but police
found no signs that someone had forced their way inside.Police said they found
Kelly sitting inside a black SUV parked about a block from the couple’s home.
Kelly matched the surveillance video footage and the man later identified him as
the person who came into the house, according to court documents.Police and
court records do not address Kelly’s physical state at the time, and there is no
mention of testing for alcohol or substance use.Police said officers made the
arrest “without incident.”Kelly’s arrest could put the second-year pro in line
for discipline from the Broncos or the league, which doesn’t need a court
conviction to mete out punishment for a violation of the NFL’s code of
conduct.“We are reviewing the matter,” the NFL said in an email to The
Associated Press.The Broncos chose Kelly with the final pick of the 2017 NFL
draft. Although Kelly brought an attitude that had often crossed the line in
college, Elway said fellow Hall of Fame quarterback Jim Kelly personally vouched
for his nephew, so Elway signed off on the selection.Chad Kelly missed his
rookie season while recovering from knee and wrist injuries, then beat out
former first-round draft pick Paxton Lynch last summer to serve as the backup
for starter Case Keenum.Keenum signed a two-year, $36 million deal in March but
is off to a middling start for the Broncos (3-4). He has eight touchdown passes
and nine interceptions after throwing for 22 TDs with just seven interceptions
last season in Minnesota, where he led the Vikings to the NFC championship.Kelly
has played just one snap, a kneel-down on the final play of the first half
against the Rams two weeks ago while Keenum was being evaluated for a
concussion.On Monday
Dalton Risner Denver Broncos Jersey , coach Vance Joseph said he’d be comfortable with Kelly at quarterback should anything happen to Keenum.The only other quarterback
on the Broncos roster is Kevin Hogan, a third-year pro from Stanford who was
awarded to Denver off waivers from Washington last month.Kelly’s spectacular
college career at Ole Miss was marked by off-field slip-ups, although he hadn’t
been in any trouble since the Broncos drafted him.He was kicked off the Clemson
team in 2014 after arguing with coaches during the spring game. He also was
arrested after a bar fight in 2014, eventually pleading guilty to a misdemeanor
charge of disorderly conduct.In October 2016, he was involved in a brawl at his
brother’s high school football game in New York. He ran onto the field after his
brother, Casey Kelly, apparently took a late hit and video shows several coaches
restraining him on the field.Although he didn’t play in the Senior Bowl after
his final season at Ole Miss because of a right knee injury, he was in
attendance all week in Mobile, Alabama, so he could talk with NFL teams about
his off-field troubles.At the time, he said being upfront about his missteps was
important: “You’ve got to be honest, of course, but you’ve got to admit to what
you did and you’ve got to try to convince them that you’ve learned from those
mistakes and that you’re not going to make them again. The owner doesn’t want to
hear about it. The GM doesn’t want to hear about what you did. They want to know
if you’ve learned from it and won’t make the same mistake twice.”
