The Broncos officially suck now. The combined record the last 5 seasons (2016-2020) is 32-48. That's a .400 win PCT. You have lost 11 straight to KC, in mostly blowout fashion. No playoffs since 2015 SB. The shine is off that now.
Impatience and lack of vision or plan has led to the only thing being consistent is Denver's consistant appearance in the upper half of the frist round of drafts....which has done nothing to cure the problem.
Perhaps the greatest QB to ever play the game, can't figure out how to draft a QB. And that has been compounded by Elways penchant for giving bad coaching staffs an ultimatum season...this has cost them chances to outright draft Josh Allen, Justin Fields and Mac Jones, it has cost them the potential to trade up for Trey Lance.
Denver has spent in FA and in drafts at RB, with hardly anything to show for it.....and then let hometown UDFA RB Lindsay walk in FA....the one guy that could bust a long run.
The O line is sub par outside of Garrett Bowles at LT. The interior is a hodgepodge of failed draft picks and overpay FA's that suck.
The "Top 5" D only exists in Broncos fans heads...it hasn't been top 10, let alone top 5 since 2015. The LB can't cover backs or TE...Von Miller is dropped into coverage, the D backs might be good, but so many 1 year deals.....
Jerry Juedy might be a great WR but his hallmark of getting separation is wasted with the QB's Denver has who can't throw an anticipation route.
Current staff is just winging it....they wanted a VET game manager QB....and when their hand picked option, Flacco didn't work....ended up with the most bizarre situation in football where you have OLD Defensive guru 1st time HC, taking a fringe 2nd round QB and trying to win and develop that kid.....freaking PERFECT.
