At the end of the day, while fan bases develop some unique aspects to their personalities (inbreeding and Camaros, for example  ), most fan bases aren’t that different.

Ehhh...
You can probably find better examples than Croyle. He was taken in the 3rd round in 2006 and was the highest drafted QB we had since Matt Blundin in 1992. You can't blame us for having enthusiasm for the franchise finally attempting to legitimately try developing our own QBs.
And even then, I don't think people were blowing him the way Knowmo does any and all draft picks taken by the Broncos, particularly their QBs. I mean, the guy legitimately thought Elway had found future starters in Swag Kelly and Kyle Sloter. He totally thought they would be more successful and better QBs than Mahomes based on what he saw in preseason and comparing it to Mahomes' preseason stat lines.
