Broncos trade Emmanuel Sanders, a good move. Then you have a clearly inebriated John Elway give a mid-day presser where for no reason at all he cites issues between the team and Sanders, passive aggressively bringing up an "incident" in another game while not elaborating on what it was. He decided winning the trade wasn't enough, he had to win the narrative and make Sanders look worse. Everyone agreed with the trade, issues or no issues and Elway decided the best move was to hit the Scotch hard during lunch and throw a team legend under the bus on his way out. This continues a pattern of coaches and players leaving with a bad taste in their mouth under John.
You all know the things I want to say, usually some form of threat with lots of profanity, but in all seriousness I would not be shocked if we hear about a "leave of absence" for John for some period of time in the near future because he's looked really bad the last couple years and the drinking is clearly taking its toll.
When the dead money isn't prohibitive (after the season), they need to shop Von as well. Ideal scenario is cashing all the veteran contracts in for draft picks, then hiring a GM who will know what to do with that huge pile of picks. Elway is not going to fix this.

32 year old soon to be free agent who's been unhappy for a while, not sure what you expected but you buy that for the same reason you'd buy any throwback. You want a current player jersey, it has to be one of the 2018 or 2019 picks.

I know he loves the Broncos. I wish he had it in him to step down and let someone else fix this because the longer this goes, the more he fucks his own legacy.

He's an all time favorite Bronco. And this was probably my last jersey I'll buy, anyway.

We're new to this "bad ownership" thing. We may end up being the mountain Bengals.
Lmao. That's perfect. I can remember some bad Broncos teams, but can't remember three years of bad Bronco teams. My Bengals....yeah. You all know the story lol.
Did Trevor Lawrence fall off the map, or what? Heard teams planned to tank two years in a row to draft this kid and now all of a sudden he sucks, or something?
