I just don't buy that theory, not in today's NFL and not given the history of the franchise. Denver could totally be in the thick of a stretch similar to 2006-2011 or 1992-1995.
I think many here believe they could be in line for a level of sucktitude on par with the Raiders and what they've done since 2003. Only 3 seasons at or above .500 out of 16 (5 weeks into 16 now). I absolutely do not see that happening.
Denver was 9-7 in 2016... 5 wins in 2017 and looking bad now at 2-3 in 2018. That's a relatively short timeframe and speaking for myself, it wouldn't shock or concern me too much if they hovered around that average/mediocre or even poor production through 2020.
In the grand scheme of things, 2016-2020 may seem like an eternity to some, but not for me. It happens to most teams. Some never get out of the cycle of losing, but one way or another... Denver will rebound. May not be 2018 or 2019.

I agree. We as fans want you to be bad for 40 years. In reality, you'll probably only be bad for 15 years
