The once proud Denver Broncos franchise has been brought to it's knees in recent years. Spygate II, a 4-12 season, and years of mediocrity prior to that. Never has the Denver fan base been so disenchanted with it's beloved NFL team. Owner Pat Bowlen was in dire straights. His team had developed a talent depleted roster, with seemingly no light at the end of the tunnel.
Only one thing could stop this downward spiral. It was time for Pat to play his ace in the hole, time to bring out the big gun. Enter the Duke. Naming John Elway vice president of football operations was a shrewd move. The Denver icon who once rode off into the sunset with 2 championship rings and a Superbowl MVP in hand has been called out of retirement to save the day.
In his first press conference as an NFL executive, his exitement was contagious, his attitude uplifting, and his determination refreshing. Recent history be damned, this is the Denver Broncos! We will turn this thing around and compete for championships again. It's a mountain to climb, but Elway has climbed mountains before and reached the summit through pure grit, determination, and passion.
This time, he's starting from a new postion, with a steep learning curve and the knowlege that he can't do it alone. He'll hire those who know what he doesn't. He'll find competitors to contribute on both the playing field and the front office. This thing may take some time, but it's going to get done.
John Elway is going after another championship and he's going full steam ahead. I, for one am happy be along for the ride. The best thing about supporting your team through the tough times is that it makes the good times even better. The light is there,,,,,,,within sight once again. Well played Mr. Bowlen.
