Depends on expectations... signing Manning was a 2-3 year SB or Bust mentality and I've been leaning more towards the 2 year window, but we'll see how this year goes - he's looked really good.
My expectations is improve on last year... so winning 1 game in the post season is the minimum expectation for me. You don't go sign PM and make the changes they made to barely miss or 1 and done it. They aren't "all world great" right now, but there are 10 games left and the AFC is wide open with a couple of legit contenders, but they even have serious flaws. The Broncos play BAL this season and if they advance, will likely face a NE, BAL or HOU again...
Improve on what killed them earlier this year in games and they have a shot at doing something great. I don't know if there is an elite all world team out there right now, but there are 5-6 overall that are in the discussion... but, the league has been weird this year.
Denver is not in that 5-6 mix in my opinion... they're in the top 12, but I don't know if they're any better than a host of other 3-3 teams right now to be honest. We'll see how things develop.
