The current Broncos remind me of the Chiefs of the mid 70s. They won that Super Bowl in 2015 and thought they were on the cusp of winning more. They clung to that belief so tightly that they ignored the realities of their front office and roster.
The Broncos have been chasing a mirage and ignoring the reality that their team is getting worse. They gave up vast riches in money and draft picks to obtain/extend Wilson when they probably could have obtained him for far less at a time when they desperately needed all of those draft picks and all of that salary cap to perform necessary maintenance on the roster.
Now the Broncos are hoping to obtain a franchise QB, but even if they do, they still have a crap roster to surround him and a hell of a lot of money owed to Wilson. Furthermore, the process of surrounding him with the talent necessary to win will have to be done by the same front office that has put them into their current bind.
The Broncos are bad and the future is not looking good. I saw the same thing when the Super Bowl IV winning Chiefs got old. If your team doesn't wake up to those realities soon, it can, and will, get much much worse.
