Here you go...you Elfruad ball-washers. Numbers dont lie...only cheating pieces of shit (and their apologists) do.

Looks like the press is finally catching on to the sham...Manning built that team.

2. Chiefs (18)

Pro Bowlers: 5
Best Pick: Marcus Peters (2015, first)
Worst Pick: Eric Fisher (2013, first)

I’m not sure anyone has done a better job than John Dorsey over the past two years. Marcus Peters is an absolute stud, and his gamble on Tyreek Hill in the fifth round last year looks like a good one so far.


31. Broncos (15)

Pro Bowlers: 0
Best Pick: Malik Jackson (2012, fifth)
Worst Pick: Montee Ball (2013, second)

This may be surprising because John Elway deservedly has gotten a lot of praise for the Broncos’ recent success. But he has been living on free agency (*cough* Manning). After nailing his first draft in 2011, Elway has a lot of swings and misses and has not landed many impact players.

"Living on free agency"

Gee, I wonder who said that not too long ago?

[Coochie liquor]

How many years before VaJona is run out of town?

2. John Elway, Broncos

Last Year’s Ranking: 2


At some point, the hot streak — Von Miller, Julius Thomas, Peyton Manning, Derek Wolfe, Malik Jackson, Danny Trevathan, Brandon Marshall, Chris Harris, Aqib Talib, DeMarcus Ware, Emmanuel Sanders — was going to end. In 2016, John Elway used his first-round pick on Paxton Lynch. Free agent LT Russell Okung was a bust. A re-signed C.J. Anderson struggled. It wasn’t Elway’s best year, and yet, arguably the top move of free agency was his reluctance to win a bidding war for Brock Osweiler. While Osweiler loads down the Browns’ roster, Elway is still reloading. Quarterback remains a trouble spot for a team adjusting to life without Manning, but Elway has made an executive career out of getting the big decisions right. His refusal to panic at football’s most important position could create headaches now, but leaves the Broncos better off for the long run. That’s not to mention that Lynch could still pan out. Elway’s near perfect streak is over. That’s life. Broncos fans can rest easy knowing they have a general manager with the patience and personnel skills to ensure they’re competitive for years to come.

Yeah I wouldn't call going 2-4 in the division competitive.

If they do that again and nothing looks to be improving, you'll have a point. One great year doesn't make a dynasty and one off year doesn't put you in the cellar for years to come.

Elway certainly hit it big with FA moves and on a "SB or Bust" mission, yes that's going to attract top talent. After the stomping by the Seahawks, they reversed course and changed their future. Elway did that... is he the best VP/GM type in the business? Hell no, he's made his mistakes and will make more, they all do.

If the Broncos don't win, that falls on Elway - he knows it, everyone knows it...

Dorsey has done really well during his stint in KC, if that doesn't result in playoff wins, he'll be gone... just like anyone else in that role. It's all about expectations.

[Quesadilla Joe]

How much of Dorsey's moderate success can be accredited to Ballard???

When I was with the Bears, we drafted 12 Pro Bowl players in 9 Drafts. Many of those players came from Ballard's area. #greateyefortalent

My money is on Chris Ballard having an outstanding Draft in Indianapolis

That's Horseshit and you know it.

#1. Eltwat DRAFTED Brock in the second round...he was supposed to be the hand-picked QB of the future. He was groomed behind Manning. He is busted pick....4 years of development and Houston just gave draft picks to have him removed from their roster.

#2 Horseface TRIED to resign him...and Giraffeboy wasn't returning his calls.

That article acts as if letting his drafted/groomed QB go was a stroke of genius. Truth is, the Texans stupidity bailed him out. He would still be your QB if it weren't for them.

#3 Sanchez

Sometimes you get lucky and yeah, he was drafted to potentially be the next QBotF... Elway wanted him back for the right price, thankfully he bought into his own hype and Houston jumped on the stupid train and bailed them out.

Not sure what Sanchez has to do with any of this, brought in as a possibility and cut, he was just a body for camp ... Siemian and how he performed last year proved they can get value out of the QB positon, regardless of the round drafted or if anyone thought much of him. Siemian produced as well as roughly a 1/3 of the QBs in the league. We'll see what happens with him and Lynch going forward.

Semen will never be more than a glorified back-up. He did well for where he was picked...I dont see Lynch developing into a franchise QB. Strong arms are over-rated...you cant fix dumb. Carr, at least, showed potential early on. Bray has a stronger arm than Boyband...and he cant even fill the vacant back-up spot.

Sanchez was brought up because of Horseface's ineptness...besides lucking into a HGH-infused Manningstein, he has Brock, Semen, Sanchize and Boyband to his credit. Those four are his actual choices....

[Mile High Mania]

Solid opinions, but that's all they are... will either of them become great? Maybe not, but nobody knows at this point.
