Personally, I'm going to relish the final nails in the coffin this coming season as Russ continues to struggle due to his own hubris and declining abilities, until he's inevitably benched, sealing his fall from grace and any chance he had of HOF consideration.
Should be a fun season.

I just can't wait until we cross the threshold to the point the Bronco's brass has to swallow their pride, admit Russ was the biggest mistake in NFL history and bench his ass. I'm not sure just how terrible he'll have to play to reach that point, but as we approach that point my schadenfreude will reach heights I never even deemed possible. They're going to be damned if they do and damned if they don't. They literally won't have any decent (let alone good) choices left to exhaust and I'll be there first in line to gleefully take it all in.
I know many of you might said "but why would we want them to bench Russ? He's terrible". Of course he is and they don't have shit better than him and they're out of draft capital (the only resource that could to rectify the situation)
I don't think I could've written a better demise for that loser franchise.
