Correct. Things Elway has done well: have Von Miller fall in his lap, convince Manning to come to Denver, sign Ware/Talib/Ward all around once. Maybe hiring Kubiak.
Things Elway has done poorly: literally every FA contract. Depressingly bad drafting that decimated any depth the team might have. Every coaching hire not named Kubiak. Ran Wade off to protect his ego. A comical inability to evaluate QB talent. A refusal to accept a rebuild and trying to win now with a 4 win roster.
The Browns would kill for the kind of terrible Elway has had? Sure of course but they’re a joke organization. This is the worst stretch in Broncos history and Elway is the architect. Until he’s gone they’ll be bad.
