When you gotta go to a dubious stat like “since 2011” you’ve lost. You had Manning fall into your laps. You beat the Pats the time you had the game at home like Manning did that one time in Indy. That’s what you got. And a ton of endorsement cash for Von Miller. If that car ain’t up on blocks this morning you guys are delusional, and I’m glad.

That's not "a dubious stat" - 2011 is when Elway became GM for the Broncos. Any other year would be selective cherry-picking - in your words, "dubious".

You had Manning fall into your laps.

Well, no - Manning didn't fall into anything. Elway signed Manning, in the face of recruitment by several other teams. Signing a Hall-of-Fame QB with miles left on the odometer over the competition is one of the most impactful and significant things a GM can do, and that's entirely to Elway's credit.

There's no "you" or "your" about this for me - I'm not a Broncos fan. But Denver would be remarkably stupid to let him go - guys with that kind of winning record aren't available to front-offices every day.
