Eh, I was off by a year. I thought that horseface brought in fivehead his first season. Either way, ElFraud didn't build that 2011 team. He built the current version, which is sitting home for the playoffs without fivehead. [Reply]

60-80% new OL, an actual OC, and some talent on the DL besides Wolfe.
I don't know what Elway will do. I suspect that he will do some work on the lines, but I worry that we'll have another non-coordinator leaving everything offensive to Kubiak. [Reply]

Debatable and you dubiously framed the statement (as if only those two years matter, and not the others in relation to John Elway's performance as a GM), but really FAs are rarely going to statistically improve your team. What John did was build the team through the draft with guys like Malik Jackson, Derek Wolfe, Von Miller, Shane Ray, Danny Trevathan, Bradley Roby, and Matt Paradis. To date, 5 years out of 6 in the playoffs, 2 home AFCCG, 3 number 1 AFC seeds, 2 Super Bowl appearances, and 1 Super Bowl Victory. Now you girls can try and paint that as some kind of failure, but it isn't. And few sane people would view John's GM accomplishments as failures.
What I am going to ask you to do is to enjoy your own success and not try to (try) and elevate yourself by putting other people down. It's bad form and etiquette. [Reply]

Strangely, I agree with this. The pendulum always swings. [Reply]
