Almost everything we read about our Broncos at this time of year ties back in some way to the great talent that John Elway has accumulated for our team. Here are some examples:

Demaryius Thomas contract issue - he's one of the most talented WRs in the NFL

Too many Tight Ends - we brought in a slew of talent to compete after our start TE left in FA because he was so talented

Arguments about Chris Harris Jr. getting snubbed in the top-100 ranks - because he's top three talent in the NFL at his position

Manning this or that - the guy is just a little bit talented

O-Line woes - our most talented guys are injured or left over the past couple of years!

This team is built very well. It is a credit to John Elway honestly and a boon to Broncos Country. You may not always like the moves he makes, but it always is about getting the best talent available to put the best team on the field in order to compete for a championship.

Our apologies for the late tracks ladies and gentlemen.
