Make no mistake, when there’s a discussion about the greatest to have ever played for the Denver Broncos, John Elway is at the top of the list. However, when it comes to managing the team, it’s a different story.
If the fanbase pulled Elway aside after hoisting the Lombardi trophy after Super Bowl 50 and challenged him to make that championship team into a 2-6 wreck in just four seasons, you’d think that would have been impossible... and yet here we are.
In the years that followed that Super Bowl, terrible short-sighted decisions compounded upon one another and what you see is what Broncos fans now get.
