    Same article says the Broncos are one of the best prepared negotiators.


    That also is John.
    IN PATON I TRUST.

    True, but there is a difference between being prepared and being trusted which I guess is what they are getting at.

    I think letting go of Ward the way he did and Peytons last two years probably contributed to this view.



    But I also think John is doing what he can to mend that rep. He dealt with both Talib and CJ face to face.

    They were both greatful. Very greatful.

    The Colts GM is on the most trusted list and he's awful.

    Elway has a horrible reputation with players, started to go south with the Von Miller negotiations that got so bad that the two ruined the ring ceremony with a very heated and physical confrontation.

    Elway has become detrimental in free agency and he sucks in the draft.

    Btw, I’ve been reliably told by Cugel that the Broncos have a capologist that dictates contract negotiations, so apparently he’s the one that’s prepared.

    Needed sentimental ties with Kubiak and a ridiculous contract offer to “land” Case Keenum, otherwise you never even hear the Broncos mentioned as a destination in free agency. You hear talking heads predict that Barf Cousins ends up in Denver after the Broncos leak their intentions to go full retard to sign him ... but then ... crickets.

    First day of free agency starts and with a stroke of a pen Case Keenum goes from being Case Keenum (the 4th best QB on his former team) to “our guy”.

    Elway is feast or famine. I think he goes through cycles. I remain optimistic, cautiously so.

    I remained convinced Elway will always be capable of great things but unfortunately he’s hired one of the worst talent evaluators in the entire NFL and his policy to allow position coaches (Kubiak/Sampro, Kollar/Gotsis) to exercise premium picks has eroded the depth chart.

    I love Elway, I grew up in Colorado in the 80's it's almost a law that I love that man, but he is a bad GM.

    He did two things right. He drafted Von and he signed Manning. Signing Manning hid a lot of deficiencies on this team and it helped us sign FAs we never would have signed.

    I hope Elway retires after this season, which will probably be a disaster.

    On one hand, a bad GM is on the 'trusted list'. On the other hand, the other least trusted NFL shotcallers are awful at their respective jobs.

    I can't call it.
