Let's take a look at the last quarter century. Since 1998, they've missed the playoffs 15 times (63% of the time), with a 7-8 postseason record. In their playoff losses, they've been outscored 295-120. They've reached double digit wins 8 times (33% of seasons) and have finished with 8 wins or less 54% of the time.
Is there anything that suggests that this franchise has been elite since Elway retired?

Not sure when you ran the numbers, but 1999 was the first season after Elway.
Denver is 10 total wins less than KC at this point, each has a SB win since 1999. Broncos are 1-1 in the SB in that span, as are the Chiefs... and they'll either be 1-2 or 2-1 after this next game. And, yeah - they're definitely built for a hell of run.
