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

      Predictions from Charlotte observer sports writers

      By raleigh-panther · Posted

      Fowler: Bucs 23, Panthers 16. Baker Mayfield only won a single game when he was an unimpressive Carolina starter, but somehow he’s 5-0 when playing AGAINST the Panthers. For the Panthers to pull off this upset, they’ll need to score at least in the mid-20s. With Tampa Bay relatively healthy following a mini-bye (and Mike Evans’ return is huge), it feels like this will be too tough a task. Kaye: Bucs 24, Panthers 20. The win-loss-win-loss streak comes to an end. It’s hard to trust the play-calling following the loss to the New Orleans Saints. The Panthers know what’s on the line, but they also knew last week, too. It’ll be close; I just have trouble trusting a positive outcome after a defeating one on the road. Zietlow: Panthers 38, Bucs 35. This prediction goes against conventional wisdom, but then again, conventional wisdom doesn’t seem to apply to these Panthers. This group, after all, has yet to lose back-to-back contests since Weeks 1 and 2. I think they win this one to make Week 18 interesting — and yes, that’s even with motivated Baker Mayfield and future Hall of Famer Mike Evans in good form. Why not?

      Week 16 - Other NFL Games

      Sam developed into a different player after he mostly sat for a year and learned a ton by being in that QB room under Shannahan in San Francisco.  Then he went to the Vikings who have a poo load of talent and another genius level offensive mind at HC in Kevin O Connel. I think they genuinely built up his confidence in a way he never did in New York or Charlotte.  He would not have been the same player if he stayed here IMO. Especially if he had been involved in that disaster season with Frank Reich in 2023, that might have cooked his confidence for good.  I guess you could argue we wouldn't have been that bad if we also kept cmc and dj i guess.

      Willis was impressive last night given the circumstances. GB and SF seem to just have it figured out as far as QB goes.   It's frustrating, but I enjoy seeing our old players find success elsewhere.
