Horse Tracks: Broncos’ Penner proving his mettle among NFL franchise owners

The Broncos’ end-of-season pressers last week offered little surprise in how the owner, GM and coach each evaluated themselves and the team’s season.

George Paton seemed relatively unaware of his impotence as a GM with Sean Payton in the house.

Payton provided the expected dismay with just enough arrogance to distance himself from total accountability but still own some of the shortcomings.

And Greg Penner offered the appropriate “it was better but not good enough” view from the owner’s seat.

But as a guy new to football ownership - having just had his first offseason to make changes and be fully responsible for the product on the field in 2023 - Penner had a few really interesting things to say that I like to believe show this franchise as a whole - not just the football team - is finally on the right path.
