I'd imagine it's more public than he'd like, but July 12 when they sit down to negotiate together and a deal is done the 15th, it won't matter |

Yea ok. I guess it's just a coincidence he's having his worst offseason yet after Peyton retires. Getting an elite QB in FA, and later getting Talib/Ware/Ward in FA to come win a SB was great, but it certainly doesn't make him the best GM in football. The best GM's in football build through the draft. Let's see if Elway can do that now. |

is Eric Berry creating drama by sending messages to Dorsey through posts on Instagram?

I'd argue Dorsey has been a FAR better GM when you look at what he was dealing with in trying to overhaul a roster that went 2-14 the year before his arrival. |

Off the field, Elway has spearheaded several innovative efforts to achieve and sustain success for the football team. In 2011, the Broncos became the first NFL team to hire four full-time strength and conditioning coaches to implement adaptive training regimens for players. The team also offers a full-service kitchen and nutrition staff to optimize player performance through customized diet plans. The Broncos under Elway have embraced various methods of football analytics as a tool to sup- port evaluations and situational decisions made by the personnel staff and coaches. Additionally, the team has been at the forefront of equipment testing and technology to maximize the health, safety and performance of its players. Complementing the Broncos’ investment in support and infrastructure, the organization has been among the NFL’s most active clubs in improving its roster under Elway, utilizing the NFL Draft, free agency, trades and waiver acquisitions to assemble a championship-caliber team. During his four seasons as an executive, Elway has signed or extended the contracts of 14 players who have combined for 20 Pro Bowl selections with the Broncos. He is the only general manager in the NFL during that span who has acquired future Pro Bowl players through the NFL Draft, street free agency, unrestricted free agency and college free agency. Signed by Elway as a street free agent in 2012, quarterback Peyton Manning was named NFL Comeback Player of the Year in his first season with the Broncos before earning his unprecedented fifth NFL Most Valuable Player Award from the Associated Press in 2013. Elway’s 2014 free agent class—Emmanuel Sanders, Aqib Talib, T.J. Ward and DeMarcus Ware— made the Broncos just the second team in league history (Carolina, 1996) to sign four players who made the Pro Bowl in their first year with the team. In all, Denver’s 11 Pro Bowl selections in 2014 represented the most in the NFL and set a team record. http://www.denverbroncos.com/team/st...e-bf841f14cf89 You can keep Dorsey, he's fine. I'll go with Elway.

Peyton Manning. He was the best recruiting tool the Broncos have ever seen. Do you think DeMarcus Ware, Aqib Talib or Emmanuel Sanders come to Denver if Mark Sanchez of Tebow was your cube in 2012 instead of Peyton? Come on. Listen, credit to Elway for getting Peyton in and signing him, but after that he was on cruise control and let the business run itself. |

I bet I can go back and find an equally impressive fluff piece on Scott Pioli that the Chiefs wrote about him back then, lol.

It's amazing how people underestimate how much easier the job is when you have an all-time great QB fall into your lap like Peyton. |

It's annoying hearing Broncos fans say "Paxton Lynch is gonna be a franchise QB bc Elway knows QB's" when he hasn't even played a down. What's hilarious is these same fans were like knowmo last year and said the same shit about Elway's drafted messiah. Now that he's in Houston he suddenly sucks ass.
