What really hurts about all this;
In 73 &74 our coach was John Ralston, a breath of fresh air out of Utah and Stanford. He had the unmitigated gall to use the Broncos 1'st pick on a corner, Louie Wright. He built a damn good team that ultimately rebelled on him and the team hired Red Miller.
That 76' team went to the SB. A few tears later they replaced Red with a goofy cracker named Daqn Reeves. Reeves proceded to drive all us fans crazy with his ultra-conservative game. Reeves received probably the best gift in the history of theleague when they basically traded for Elway over a cup of coffee.
3 SBs later they fire Reeves abd hire the cuddly one, Wade Phillips. Here came Mike Shannahan and the Elway juggernaut abd 2 SB wins.
For 30 years the Broncos were one of the elite franchises as far as competiveness goes.
Now we're an afterthought, even a joke.
I see no relief in sight. Is Tebow the guy? I think he will be, but we can't see him throw a pass even in the worst beatdown in recent NFL memory.
