We are such spoiled NFL fans. Not only do the Broncos have one of the best team owners in NFL history in Pat Bowlen, the franchise hero John Elway became the GM and delivered a Super Bowl trophy in his first 5 years. That effort allowed Peyton Manning to retire a champion, just like Elway did. Given the current QB situation and the absence of Wade Phillips, I expect the Broncos to miss the playoffs again this season. However, I have no doubt that Elway will figure something out and get the Broncos back to the playoffs sooner than later. In Elway We Trust.
