I give the Broncos credit for bringing in Manning to win. Idk how much credit i'd give Elway as it was clearly all about Peyton. He could have gone almost anywhere he wanted to go. Elway lucked out and Manning chose there. From there it was easy coasting, as they really didn't even need a head coach either because you got a hall of famer QB and a coach with that deal. Moving on from Tebow was an easy choice so I wouldn't give them too much credit on taking the risk on a broken manning either. They won the super bowl, have to give them credit there. Defense was key but the team was still better because of manning, even with a noodle arm. Manning left and as much as the media wanted to suck their dick, they weren't ever smelling another title. I suspect it will be the same this year unless Romo comes in. That's a bigger gamble than Peyton though and it could easily go south. Chiefs should top this division for the days to come even with Alex Smith. Raiders are the real challenger to us.
