NFL: The Broncos, since beating us in the Super Bowl

“Do I trust him to fix what’s gone wrong? No. I mean, how did he fix it in the first place? He found himself a unicorn, Peyton Manning,” Schlereth said on FS1. “Peyton Manning makes up for a multitude of sins. All the quarterbacks he’s gotten after don’t.”

Schlereth said Elway has built a roster lacking in depth and talent, and he singled out left tackle Garrett Bolles, whom Elway drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, as a player who’s only on the roster because Elway can’t admit he was wrong to pick him. Schlereth said that Bolles is playing so poorly, the rest of the team resents it.

“You think you can continue to run him out and not every guy in that locker room’s pissed off? Why is he on this team? Why is he playing?” Schlereth said. “Because he was my first-round pick and I’m going to prove I got it right.”

Those are harsh words, but it’s hard to disagree with Schlereth’s point. The Broncos still haven’t made the playoffs since Manning retired, and Elway is showing no evidence that he knows how to get them back to the postseason.

Keep in mind as you read this that Schlereth and Elway were teammates. This'd be like having Mike Singletary ripping Ron Rivera.

But it's true; since beating us in the Super Bowl, the Broncos have fallen off a cliff.

(not that I expect that to exactly hurt anyone's feelings, here)

We fell off a cliff as well. Since then one playoff appearance with a wild card loss

outside of 2017, we’ve pretty much sucked all the same.

At least they can hang their hat on a victory in 2015. We can’t even do that.

I don't even count 2017 if you remember the context. Getting swept 3x to the Saints including WC loss is pretty shitty and left a horrible taste in my mouth. I wouldnt consider that a successful season

Hard to argue with that.

i saw this show.   mark also said elway tried to hire kyle shannahan and wasn't allowed to (kyle went for a visit). even would have hired his dad.  they don't have an owner right now, they have a board, and the board decided they had been down the shannahan road and weren't going to go down it again.  can't blame that on horse face

Elway had some poor draft classes since 2015 other than taking Bradley Chubb last year. But give the man his credits. Elway added Talib, Ware and TJ Ward which made that SB50 defense that great of a defense. The Broncos beat us bc of their defense, not Peyton Manning. 
 

Elway playing Garrett Bolles is like Hurney and Ron playing Daryl Williams game after game.

That's fair.

Even so, it's hard to deny a lot of his personnel choices have been horrible. That's especially so at quarterback, which is kind of hard to forgive given that if Elway knows any position, it should be that one.

i totally agree.  later in that segment they were wondering just how neutered elway is, since he's not even allowed to select the coach.   but there's no doubt he's been awful at personell

      something to feel good about in the offseason..."could be something special brewing in Carolina"

      No, I don't root for drops to be what loses a game, especially from a player who has/had drop issues, as that's not showing improvement. And no, I don't resent it if they win, just as I don't "celebrate" if we lose either.  But I don't get upset if we lose because I know it's for the best for our future, just like I don't go running through the streets celebrating a meaningless December win that doesn't do anything other than hurt our draft stock in a lost season. In a year like last year and this next year, where we've put considerable assets into the offense at the expense of our defense to be fixed later, something both fans and the team themselves know, as you can only add so many players in any given offseason.  Then I'm looking for us to click offensively, have everyone looking better than the year before and show growth.   But then the side of our team we know is a weakness, to be the reason we lose in a high scoring game.  Give me Bryce going down and taking a 2 point lead with 2-3 minutes left in the game, but then our defense almost holding the other team from getting into scoring position and they end up needing a 55 yard FG to win the game and beat us. That can happen while our young defensive players show tons of promise, but still have one or two too many holes and/or just inexperience that it costs us games in the end, but it's still a successful season of growth and improvement. Or even better, just look great on both sides in a close game and end up getting totally screwed by the refs with a bad late call that hands them the game. And again, those are the kinds of things I'm wanting to see happen once it's already a lost season.   And I'm only saying I'd rather not make the playoffs when the alternate scenario is making but losing in the first round. Because those are the scenarios where we improve as a team, get better draft picks, and an easier schedule the next year.  You then use the cap space and higher draft picks to fill the remaining defensive holes with impact players and you're then cooking with gas in that next season and have real potential.
