ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- To find a franchise quarterback, to mine the biggest of football diamonds, is hard.
As in once-in-a-career difficult and only if you’re lucky. To find the keystone to build a franchise around is no small thing in the NFL, as the constant search for The Guy who can lead the way to where the victories and trophies are found always seems to be underway.
But in the end, it still may not be as hard as life as The Next Guy, or if the search isn’t successful, The Next Guys.
A search John Elway, the Broncos' top football executive and Hall of Fame quarterback, calls "one, in this day and age, you have to succeed at. You have to find the guy who can lead your football team. If you don’t, you’re going to have a hard time doing the things you want to do as an organization."
