And if you're arguing that they dominated the NFL for 20 years simply because they had Brady, that's funny. They dominated because they consistently made good personnel decisions, drafted well, and had excellent coaching (and some cheating, of course).
If Denver had a recent period of dominance anywhere close to what the Patriots did, I wouldn't deny that they're a great organization.

They went to 2 SBs (and lost both) in the span of 40 years before Brady. That’s definitely what I’d call a consistent winner.
I’m not saying they’re not a great team (now). I’m really only laughing at your earlier post that a great team is one that consistently wins without a great QB.
Do the Broncos get credit for going to the AFCCG with Plummer?
