In all fairness to Elway, he has done some good things as GM, but two glaringly obvious things he is missing:
1) The ability to identify and draft talent on the offensive side of the ball (particularly WR and O-Line).
2) The ability to recruit FA's to come to Denver w/o the lure of playing with Manning and the chance to win a ring.
With Manning, FA's were willing to come to Denver and take less money for a chance to win a ring. Elway's problem is the last 2 off-seasons he is still negotiating with FA's like it's a privilege to sign with Denver. Agents and players are no longer taking discounts to play there. Denver will have to 'pay to play' now. We'll see if Elway decides to adjust. Time will tell . . . . .
