Things are cyclical... if we're still dealing with this in 3-4 years, then yeah - total failure.

Siemian was the best of the bunch imo. He never lived up the all the Monday Night hype that he was the next Manning, but he was better than Case, Brock and Lynch.
I don't think Flacco can stay healthy for the rest of his contract. So who will be the backup QB? Do you keep Case as a 10 million dollar 2nd stringer?
It seems like a complete desperation move by Elway. You have the highest QB dollars being spent in the NFL and yet the worst QB situation in the division.
Add to the fact that Flacco is not mobile at all and you have to play the Chargers and Chiefs both with great pass rushers. Elway has gone down the rabbit hole and it will take years and a lot of luck to get back to the Playoffs.
