I've seen him will his team to wins over and over. He has that 'it' factor. The problem is that I really don't know what his football IQ is, so I don't know how quickly he can pick up an NFL system.
I guarantee you Elway wants a franchise QB. Unfortunately, Elway has also shown that he is clueless when it comes to evaluating QBs. The Broncos are going to need one of two things to happen to get the right guy in the draft:
1. They hire some new scouts in the QB department.
2. Blind luck.
I love Mayfield. I love his passion, will to win, competitiveness, and swagger. If his football IQ is high, I think he can be a star. If it's not, he'll be a bust in the NFL.
