VJ and Keesum happened.
Elway saw his team win a Super Bowl with arguably the worst QB in the league. He felt that if he maintained his defense and brought in average QB play that we'd continue to win. It didn't work. Kubiak had to retire. Keesum was garbage. As was Vance Joseph. Drafting Paxton caused us to miss out on the 2017 QB class and led to us being scared off of Josh Allen in 2018. Drafting Drew Lock in 2019 caused us to miss out on Justin Herbert in 2020, who Elway would've drafted in 2019 had he come out.
Nothing worked according to plan. Some of it was due to injuries or bad luck. Some of it was due to a bad plan.
