John Elway is turning out to be a pretty darn good GM

[Bump]

He went out and got Peyton Manning and now look at them. He won a playoff game with Tim freaking Tebow.

We should try this. Will Shields for GM! Our own hall of fame player from the same era. Let's do this. Get it done Clark.

I think it's hilarious. I never pegged Bump for a neg repper

We'll find out just how good Elway is when Manning hangs it up. He's basically doing the exact same thing King Carl did when he got here.

Except King Carl got a better coach.

I'll say this: I'm not at all impressed with Denver's draft picks outside of Von Miller and Derek Wolfe. Hitting on 1 draft pick a year isn't impressive.

I've received 5 of my 8 from the guy. This is not a ****ing joke man. My internet reputation is getting sodomized by a hellbent stoner.

Not a good way to look at it. Elway SHOULD be measured by being able to land Manning in Denver. You can't just throw that out. He has done a great job in Denver thus far. Just remember, Denver came in last the year we won the division. That team was in shambles. Now - they're about to repeat as AFC West Champs. Someone is doing something right.

and just to clarify, its not impressive that elway decided to go after manning, many teams did... the part he gets credit for is convincing him to come to denver over all the other choices, where many thought wasnt a good fit for him...

and a crappy coaching staff and toxic work environment are part of the responsibilities of the GM/VP of Op as well, ***** 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...

You have yet to explain why I need to slobber over Elway as a great personnel guy.

Ha I can't wait until the Broncos get destroyed by the Patriots again.

I doubt Denver will win a SB with Manning. Houston and New England will own the AFC for the next 3 years.

Hey. I didn't make the pic. I'm just observing the butthurt.

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.

Elway having been the player he was would have definately had a major influence over manning.

Yeah, drafting four impact starters and a group of quality back ups in two years is horrible. Especially doing this while improving from 4-14, to 8-8 division champs and a playoff win, to 6-3 looking at maybe locking up the division again. Yup. So unimpressive.

Still that's better than the Chiefs and the Chiefs had a head start on the rebuilding thing...Anyway here's how I look at Denver - they're kinda like this guy that you fight in a bar fight and get the best of - but you know that he's gonna fight you again. They're going to be a factor in the playoffs - regardless if they face Houston or New England again.

This year was not in the plans for them to win a SB - that part of the plan comes next. If you have the HOF QB - anything is possible.

I'm so going to teabag the shit out of Bump's sister if Manning gets horrifically injured, is forced to retire, and the Broncos suck and Elway has no ****ing clue what to do.
