As a GM?! Wow, we really
REALLY disagree on this one. Yes, after Kubiak got sick and he drafted Paxton Lynch, both in 2016, John's GM work hit the skids. Bad HC hires especially.
But from January 2011 to 2015, somebody oughta write a book about Elway's General Managing:
1) Beats out six other teams to sign Manning - Peyton credited John as making the difference. The 2013 Broncos set every possible team offensive record, as did Manning with individual records. 606 points, three 50-point games, five players scored 10+ TDs.
2) Then JUST TWO YEARS LATER, Broncos fielded an historic defense - entirely assembled by Elway. Won Super Bowl, but you can't blame this one on HGH - despite starting just 10 games, Manning finished second in the league in interceptions (Bortles).
