The Broncos couldn't dream of competing without a much better QB. They couldn't draft one, so they traded for one. Does this put them in the SB this year or next year? No. I've never said it would get them there. They're more than a QB away from advancing to and winning a playoff game. Slightly different scenario than when they signed Manning, that team was more complete and ready for a run.
The comment I made that some of you are stuck on was about the team's front office. I said they had to view this as a win the SB in 2-4 years moment, so they made the trade. If they didn't think that could happen, they wouldn't have made the trade. That was the intent of my comment.

Who knows what the FO's true expectations are. I'm guessing they just want to get Denver into the conversation and see what happens. But there are a lot of teams in that conversation now. Teams that didn't give away 7 high picks/players or hand their starting QB far more money.
Denver could have a substantially better team than any since 2015 and still never sniff a SB or AFC title game with Allen/Mahomes/Herbert/Burrow/Jackson to deal with.
