100% agree.

Elway basically won the lottery with Manning falling into his lap. IMO Manning was coming there regardless cause of the 4 teams he had narrowed his free agency down to, Denver had the play makers and potential for him to do something. People forget that they made the playoffs and won a playoff game with Tebow. That was not a horrible offense.

Elway has drafted very poorly from the beginning. Von Miller is a left over from the previous front office and before that, Josh McDaniels drafted some decent players like Demaryius Thomas and Eric Decker who were essential pieces of the Manning Broncos.

I think Elway also gets too much credit for signing ring chasers between 2013 to 2015. They got Demarcus Ware, Wolfe, Talib and they had traded to get Emmanuel Sanders and later Vernon Davis (2015). Those were good moves, but it also goes to show that players are going to want to play for a contender that isn't the Patriots and Denver was the only team to really back up the hype by beating them twice in the playoffs during that time frame.
