That's only part of the problem in Denver. They also missed on coaches, TWICE. Radio was a terrible choice and Fangio was just as bad or worse. Elway went with defense, and a statue QB when the NFL is going offense and mobile QB's. The QB's you speak of are having success because the league offenses are changing. It's not by accident either - they're incorporating parts of the college game into the pros.
You mention Lamar Jackson - Harbaugh consulted with many folks who know spread offenses and went out and got guys to coach a more wide open offense to best utilize Jackson's skill set. If Denver would have drafted him, he'd have failed if Elway goes in the same HC direction - and he likely would have because he LOVED V.J. and Fangio.
BTW, I was happy that Elway passed on Shannahan Jr. and Josh Allen at QB. I LOVED that he doubled down on stupid when he chose Fangio after V.J. You, my friend, may take the "We'll see" approach, but there is plenty there right now to suggest that Fangio is a total disaster and he's going to set Denver back.

Some idiot over there thinks it’s all easily solvable...

For us one of Fromm, Tua, or Herbert lie beyond the year we have left of this dark and horrible valley that you've known your whole life. We only slum in your neighborhood for so long then we become good again. You lot are worse than us if Mahomes goes down. So be happy we ain't rushing our edge rushers at him this year.
Same idio.... I mean quality individual

Can you not tell?
Why else would we not rush Von Miller?
Even Vance Joseph rushed with Von Miller.
Every dumb ass in Madden rushes with Von Miller if he is on their team. Figure it out man. We are getting Tua or whoever Miami leaves up there for us.
We see your window. We also think it is too high for fat Andy to jump through. Your QB is a badass. But fat Andy will make him eat up records in the regular season and go one and done again.

Hey, after 20 years... the expectation should be nothing less.
Plus, the next three games are pivotal if Denver is going to be at .500 when they face the Chiefs in Week 7 on Thursday Night Football in Denver.
Up next -
Jaguars: 1-2, after beating the Titans and losing to KC and HOU. New QB running the show, looks good so far. Game 4 (still constitutes early, yeah) in Denver.
Chargers: 1-2, after beating the Colts in OT and then losing @ Detroit and home vs HOU.
Titans: 1-2, after a huge butt kicking of the Browns @ CLE, they've now lost vs the Colts and Jags.
Denver has an incredible bag of issues, but with three 1-2 teams on the schedule and 2 of 3 in Denver... you know the place they nearly won at two weeks ago vs CHI, who knows - maybe they can get on a win streak.
Denver obviously has to figure out a way to get pressure on the QB, it's now a pitiful joke how clean they keep the opposing QB. And, a turnover by the defense would be good.
Denver could have easily won the CHI game had it not been for mental errors and penalties, but that's what dumb teams do at the worst possible moments and they have been playing like a dumb team.
Against Green Bay, Denver did pretty well in a lot of areas and they didn't get out to a slow start. They're downfall was heading into the half - fumbling on a key drive and then GB scoring on that as they close out the half. Then, to open the half... yep, another turnover resulting in another GB TD.
I mean, they had 3 solid drives (33 plays) to open the game only to fumble, punt, fumble, TD, INT, punt to close out the game.
Jaguars - who knows what to expect, they are 0-2 against two teams that are a combined 5-1, tough schedule early on.
Chargers - hell, who knows? On paper, Chargers should win that game in their sleep. Denver won there in 2018 and since Manning retired, the series is tied at 3-3.
Titans - who knows, they may be as ugly as Denver, save for the week 1 win.
Denver may be in a world of suck right now, but if they have any heart and any leaders on that team - they'll find a way to win against teams that are an uninspiring 1-2 each, two of which have lost 2 straight.
And, BlackOp and all the others from the tinfoil hat crew ... if they NFL is fixed, maybe this is one of the moments they're waiting for. The once dominant franchise, down and out... but are they? Can they battle back to 3-3 to face the undefeated Chiefs in Denver on Thursday Night? Hey, if it's rigged... that's a hell of a story line, yeah? Let's see what happens!!!!! C'mon... let's go.
