I'm in no way a Broncos fan but he's done an outstanding job. If the roles were reversed and we were talking about the Chiefs, I wouldn't give a shit that they just paid Stephenson $5 per because my team just won a Super Bowl.
And keep in mind, every time a Chief has left for the Broncos, it's worked out for them, whether it was Neil Smith, Keith Traylor and so on.
Face it, Dude: Since Elway arrived in Denver back in 1983, they've been the far superior franchise and it's not even close.

I give Elway credit for what he's done, and of course I wish it was us that got Peyton and everything that followed. I just think they caught lightning in a bottle finding an elite/all-time great QB in free agency, and I don't see it happening again in the same fashion. I don't doubt he will make them respectable again, and maybe even a playoff caliber team, but I don't think they'll be a SB contender again any time soon. They don't scare me and neither does Lynch going forward.
