Doubt it. Denver's string of relevance came from Elway, Shanahan, Manning and, most of all I guess, Pat Bowlen. RIP to the guy.
The Broncos are now an absolutely irrelevant franchise. No one is going to care about you any time unless you basically hit the lottery on a QB, and with Elway in charge that damn sure ain't happening any time soon. No free agents are going to come there for anything other than money.
The league is going fast-paced, up-tempo, creative offense. Chiefs, Rams, Saints etc. Meanwhile, Elway hires a near-retirement, defensive-minded coach and trades for old-man Statue Flacco.
The real question is: how many years will it be before you guys finally get rid of Elway? Til he's gone you are a basement-dwellar, unless maybe Rodgers snaps his leg next week, the Packers lose out, draft Tua and you guys trade a couple 1sts for Rodgers. And even then you're looking at 8-8 with that roster.
