good to see Denver isn't horsing around. They should be stable for the next 5 years as long as the contracts he negotiates doesn't saddle them with a ton of dead money.

Good for KC. Good for the rest of the AFC West.
The march towards the bottom continues . . . . . . |

You guys think he sucks? He became GM in 2011. They missed the playoffs for the five years before that, and since then they have made the playoffs 5 out of 6 years, won the division all five of those years, went to the SB twice, and won it once, while building perhaps the best defense in the NFL.

They'll need to start relying on the draft, and that means Elway's sharp eye identifying the next Quanterus Smith or Lamin Barrow or Darius Kilgo. |

Yeah, not great, no arguments. A few good players -- Paradis especially was a steal (I didn't know he was a 6th round pick) -- but overall, pretty meh. But he has CLEARLY shown talent for handlign the FA market -- both deciding which players to pay/keep, and which ones to let go, plus which ones to bring in. He's done it well enough to build a truly terrific defense, and an offense with some pretty decent skill position players. Only problem is one that about 25 NFL teams have -- lack of elite (or at least consistently good) QB play. Meh -- I'd still rather have him leaving Denver to go back to selling cars or whatever. He's proven effective, unfortunately, overall. |
