KC has 11 and the only one of consequence is Poe...Berry will be locked up. Look at the salaries...

So much for Elway being a "genius"....chickens are coming to roost. If he didn't knock this draft out of the park, especially with Lynch...you're looking at some lean years ahead. |
You're smarter than that and you should realize that many things change with cap situations and contracts. I'm going to go by history, both during the recent tenure of Elway as vailpass pointed out and going allllll the way back to Bowlen buying the team.
Sure, anything is possible. Your wet dream of Denver becoming the Cleveland Browns for the next decade could come true, but it's highly unlikely.
Denver has had 3 losing seasons since Elway retired (1998).
Denver only had 2 losing seasons during Elway's time as QB, so 5 losing seasons from 1983-2015 ... help me out, that's what 32 years? And, to make up for those 5 losing seasons - 7 SB appearances.
2006-2011 were some lean years
1992-1995 were lean as well
Team was roughly .500 combined during both of those stretches. There are many fans that have been staring at decades of combined .500 play and still hoping for the best. (looking at you, my friend) So, yes, the next 3-4 years could get bumpy, and that's fine ... it happens. Teams aren't on top forever and it's been a fun ride from 2011-2015 quite honestly.
I'm prepared for anything, but I highly doubt the cellar beckons.
