and a crappy coaching staff and toxic work environment are part of the responsibilities of the GM/VP of Op as well, pioli owns that...i could name other players and coaches elway has brought in but i imagine you are aware of them for the most part...
whether you want to admit it or not, since elway has arrived as the guy in charge things have turned for Denver...

Alright. My issue is tht Miller was about a big of a lay up as Berry was for us. I don't think many GM's make any other pick there besides him. I also think Manning went there in large part knowing that Elway would think like him as a QB. If Elway was a HOF CB I am not sure Manning is in Denver right now.
