I wonder if Manning "hid" the woes of the offense, inclusive of the o-line, and Elway just wasn't seeing it.  Manning's physical decline started to expose it, but he did just enough to let that D win the SB.  Once a mediocre QB got behind the line, the needs were apparent.  I like the staffing of the O-line this year, and Bolles is a great pick.  I love the change to McCoy.  And, Elway stocking the running game to alleviate the pressure put on the pass game is very, very smart.  Here's to hoping Charles just kills it and stays healthy.  That'd be yuuuuuuuuuuge!  Got some real speed on that offense, too (McKenzie comes to mind).

I'm liking this John Elway Broncos.  Glad they worked out his contract.
