So, should Bronco fans be ready to burn him at the stake this year? Move on from him? What?
The guy put together one of the best offenses in recent history, made it to the SB with it. Lost the Sb. Built one of the better defenses of recent history, won a SB.
If Dorsey has a run the next 3 years like Elway just had, I could give about a half a **** what he does year 4.

Miller, Harris and DT is what that roster would be like without Manning...with Brock starting.
Dont confuse dumb luck with skill...Dorsey is killing him in the GM department. He had Sanders ready to sign...and Elway had Manning lure him away.
Kubiak actually wanted to poach a defensive coach from the Bengals and they refused. Wade wasn't even his first choice for DC.

Elway put together a very short-term and highly effective win-now.
Well, it worked.
Now, it's gone if not dissolving. Still, I would not discount the remaining players on that squad even though their horsey-glue has gone to the factory.
And you would be wise to remember that these are division games where anything goes.
