Elway is the most over-hyped GM in football...and this off-season proves it. Wade was a great call...I'll give him credit on that.

Sure, they benefited from the "SB or Bust" theme. It worked and now they have a great foundation in place. While they've lost some top guys on defense and could be without Talib, they're far from having no talent to fill those voids. The defense is still a top 5 unit, at the minimum.
The OL is a mess, we knew that last year and they haven't been able to fix it. It all comes down to the scheme and can they do enough with Trevor at QB to mask those issues. It's a tall order, no doubt about it, but they have playmakers on offense too and they're not some spare team hoping for 4 wins.
That might be your wet dream, but when the sun rises... you're still just going to have wet sheets when you wake up from this 'doom and gloom Elway sucks dream'. Denver can win 9-10 games this season with what they have right now. I'll bet when the season ended in 1998, you thought it would be the last you'd type about Elway and that likely pisses you off more than anything else.
