I don't think it's a coincidence that now that Peyton is gone Elway couldn't even keep his own guys, including the QB he handpicked. Where's all that magic now?
Also, I'll ask this question again, what QB's have Elway/Kubiak successfully drafted and developed?
I just don't see Elway pulling it off again. Getting a QB like Peyton through free agency is a once in a lifetime oppurtunity. He was GMing with a handicap that won't be there anymore. I don't see his future drafts being good enough to overcome the obstacles that are now in his way.

I disagree.
I recently watched several of the America's Game specials on The NFL Network, including the 1997 & 1998 Broncos. Elway was a salesman then, getting Neil Smith to flip in a heartbeat after nine seasons in KC.
The Broncos may not be in the Super Bowl hunt every season under Elway but as he's proven in the past five years, he's not going to be very far from it.
