I don't think Denver fans are any different than any others. All fanbases are impatient until their guy is playing at a pro-bowl level.
Were we living on different planets during the Cutler days? This fanbase went apoplectic when McDaniels traded Cutler away. I've never seen Broncos fans so upset. As for Oz, he played out his contract and went somewhere else. I think most fans wanted him back but understood that we didn't want to overpay. This idea that Denver fans give up on QBs too soon is a complete fantasy.
Personally, I'm of the belief that many QBs are as much a product of right place, right time as those just predestined to be 'nfl qbs'.
I think a lot of guys that could've been solid NFL QBs in the right setting ended up getting burned out of the league by bad situations. And conversely, others who are considered solid NFL QBs might not have made it long term in the league as a starter in different circumstances.
And some (not all) QBs who are given up on 'too soon' have a negatively impacted outlook going further into their career which is self-perpetuating.
Posters here just make up random crap to try and support their ridiculous arguments. Allen would’ve been loved here, a top 5 pick and a QB, in the post-Manning drought, he would’ve been a freakin’ hero. Add in the offensive weapons, and holy crap….!!!! We missed big time on him, it’s ok to admit it.
Yeah, it was a more active board for sure. But I'm not sure if that is what perpetuated the drama, or whether the drama kept the board more active.
Although I have to say getting immediately iggy'd for not donning Teddy kneepads in week 1 makes me think it wasn't the OM's monopoly on drama that did it.
No we were not, when the trade went down people were livid, but it was also because the replacement was going to be Kyle Orton. However during Cutler's rookie season fans were already calling for his head and even some on this board were actually good with the trade in favor of Orton.

Ultimately, it's a lot harder to develop a player when he's bad. Coaching can only go so far. Ultimately the player has to have the talent, intelligence, and drive to take the coaching and become a great player. I blame our QB failures more on Elway picking complete duds moreso than any lack of development. Development can only take a bad player so far. I think if you're a great player, you'll thrive anywhere unless it's a complete dumpster fire like the expansion Texans with Carr.

I ain't got no beefs with anyone.
Perhaps just lighten up a little GEM?
We have shared memories and neither of us is anything other than jokesters. Especially me and Shane. Strafen kinda less jokey, but he's not bringing drama either. Look just because a few friends razz each other over something you don't understand because you weren't there you don't have to get all mad and act left out or like it is "drama" just because we jab each other in the arm and giggle. You guys have your own history that we don't understand. Don't mean I'm going to tell you not to blab with your pals.
In fact Shane is the one that told me to migrate here. So again, chill. I got nothing but love for my guys. Don't mean I won't tease them though.
We had epic game threads where we were always jumping between football takes and dogging on those takes. Some dudes were weird like anywhere. True there was a gathering of weird over there. But there was good too. The grumps have checked this place out and already left.
I like our new digs. You guys are way cooler than that old place. Soon you'll get used to my weird. I'll grow on you. Like fungus.
