They are not the worst in the league anymore

#7 wins everything

I said it after we won the back to back SB's that i would be good for a while. Same can be said about this past year. Would love to repeat but its never easy but even if we dont win next year at least i can saw ive witnessed another championship before i die.

Elway wins with trade, he wins with the middle east, he wins with China. He's a winner. He has made the Broncos great again.

Can't post a link because it was on the radio, but Elway just bashed Brock a bit.

"We only want people here that want to be part of the Broncos".

Not really bashing, but I agree to a point, given all we're learning now...sounds as if the marriage would have been volatile and bad for the locker room. Still not optimistic about the direction of the offense, mainly due to lack of capable replacements.

They will run the ball and play defense. You can win a lot of games that way.

I think we might have screwed up on CJ's tender.

Especially with a very easy division.

We'll see how it plays out.

RBs aren't that hard to find.

I think we now know what it's like to be the New England Patriots (without losing draft picks because we don't cheat). They lose tons of players in the FA all the time because they excel in Belichick's system, and they go somewhere else and turn out flat. Talib is a very good exception. They lose a lot of good players and in return they get picks back, and draft very well. Sort of like us as of late. We wouldn't of been so comfortable letting Danny Trevathan leaving if it wasn't for the fact that Front office feels good about the depth of LB's. I heard good things about Todd Davis, and Shaq Barrett.

I was thinking about this as well, then stopped myself in the comparison. Big difference is Brady is still there, and has been for a long time. That's a key difference to me.

Yup, that's been the only common denominator the last 16+ years. Not one other player on that team has been there as long, or as crucial.

I also happen to believe Belichick has a good offensive system with Brady which matches his talents very well. Infact, I think a lot of QB's would thrive under Belichick. I have the same sort of faith with Kubiak and Elway. They'll figure it out, they know they don't need to spend big cash on a suspect QB when a mediocre one will do till they find their QB.

I posted this in the Oswiler thread but it probably deserves to be here more.

Elway: We want players who want to be here

Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the Broncos began thinking that Osweiler didn’t want to be part of the team when he stopped returning calls from teammates and coaches in the last couple of weeks
"We’ve stayed true to our philosophy of building a team with players who want to be Denver Broncos and want to be here. That’s been a successful approach for us,” Elway said. “While we did offer a very competitive and fair long-term contract to Brock, we ultimately had to remain disciplined while continuing to assemble a roster that can compete for championships.”

I've always been impressed with the way Brock had conducted himself while he was in Denver, especially with the media. Seemed like he modeled himself after Peyton. Sounds like he was starting to show his age here a bit...
