KARL'S INSIGHT....

Character and lack of character are exposed by failure. All who challenge themselves risk failure. Those with character bounce back and risk again. While the storm rages around them, men with character look within, take a step forward, and lead by example. Success is overcoming obstacles on the way to your dreams. Now is the time for Broncos with character to lead. They will be the Broncos hope for future success.

Thanks for sharing. It’s not a popular opinion, but character matters. It doesn’t mean those who lack leadership can’t be great player (Von), but the Broncos need players to lead right now, and the only one I see doing that is Wolfe.

Just going on locker room reports and such, but it doesn't sound like Von "lacks" leadership it's just that some people lead in different ways. Von has been reported to rally teammates in the locker room and on the field, but I think what they are missing is not leadership in that sense but accountability. John Elway was never a vocal leader, but he lead by example and how he applied himself on and off the field. You didn't want to let him down and he pulled the rest of the team up to his level. Manning did something similar but was much more of a vocal leader. Right now there is no accountability, just BS excuses. It still sounds like some of them are mad that TJ Ward was cut. That did leave a leadership vacuum, but they need to get over it and start playing for each other again.

I wonder how he got it.

Our obstacle just happens to be shitty coaching.

Karl is one of the best follows on Facebook, I've talked to my favorite player a few times on there.

What they are missing is a single leader like that on offense. Not a single guy like that on offense that is starting. Sanders is the closest to that kind of leader, but he manifests it as me first bravado. I've heard Brock is that type of leader, but you can't lead a team from the bench.

In the past, that kind of leader was Nalen, he lead that line with as close to a nasty mean streak as you could get.
Shannon Sharpe made the men around him better, made them believe they could do anything. Even Jake Plummer, the locker room believed in him, he was their guy, and you could see they were angry when Shanny benched him. Rod Smith.

That leadership left when Manning left and not a single player has stepped in to fill that.

Yes, leadership, fire, passion, will to win......
