What's the climate going to be if they start 1-4 or if Osweiler has success.... The fans are used to the Manning gravy train...as is Elway. This is the first, real, adversity he will have faced since becoming GM. Last season would've been ..had Osweiler/the defense not bailed him out.

Any Broncos' fans that came along as of 2012... well, they'll be looking for new jerseys. Most of us that have been around a while remember the Griese, Cutler, Orton, Tebow eras and we don't take success for granted. Do we expect it? Yes, the history of the franchise has given us peace of mind that the down times don't last long.
Honestly though, you put way too much focus on the loss of Brock and are really fixated on this narrative that Elway has screwed the team with his ego.

Hell, after those 4 games 'with Peyton in 2015' or Brock this year, the 1-3 or 2-2 was a very real outlook. That's not an easy start, so for me ... 2-2 would be the desired goal.

Little better, with 3 at home (oh no ... 5 of first 8 at home - bastards!)
After 8, they are likely sitting at 4-4. Less than that wouldn't shock me, nor would it concern me. Now, if they're losing ugly, then that's another topic entirely.
Going back to 2012, I remember all the talk about the team being a joke that was delusional for thinking Peyton was going to do anything with that team. The supporting cast was a joke and it was 'lucky' wins with Tebow. Now, I hear 2015 was 'lucky bounces'... hell, I guess Denver is just annually lucky, so there isn't much to worry about. No?
