That was a terrible game by the Falcons against the worst D in the league.

The Pats D were up for that game. Where was the Falcons O?

I'm like 30% worried you guys will steal a win from the Vikings this week. It seems like a classic trap game, especially since it's in London--but the Browns are so bad it might not matter.

They came too damn close to winning that super bowl.

49ers acquire Jimmy Garoppolo. They sent a second round pick to New England.

Jimmy dodged a bullet and avoided the Browns.

People are so upset here that the Browns didn’t get Garoppolo, Wentz, or Watson. But I honestly don’t think any of those three would make a huge difference. The receiving corps is horrible.

My faith in ol' John as an evaluator of quarterback talent isn't real high.
Three quarterbacks on the roster, and Osweiler is the best of the bunch? Ouch. At least finishing 5-11 or 6-10 should mean getting a shot at Allen or Rosen or Darnold or the like.

Elway wasn't picking the players at that point.
The Broncos already had Tebow and Orton on the roster when he became executive VP/GM.
And really, it's not just quarterbacks Elway seems to struggle drafting. It's pretty much the whole offensive side of the ball.
He has had several major successes drafting on defense but the only guy on offense he's drafted so far that has unequivocally worked out is starting center Matt Paradis. His RBs, WRs, TEs, and offensive guards have been a train wreck. Bolles looks like a good pick at left tackle and the same is true for Janovich at fullback, but the rest is questionable at best.

A good qb can make the entire offense look great though.

It takes more than a "good" QB to overcome a horrible offensive line. Even great quarterbacks look like shit when they're getting hit 15-20 times per game.

Wilson is looking really good with one of the worse o-lines for several years now.

The man had the greatest neckbeard ever.
edit: my favorite Broncos qb ever, though, is Jake Plummer for stealing a shopping cart after he had his license suspended for a dui.

Want more proof? Ask Carson Palmer who got his arm broken thanks to an inept, injury plagued and make shift offensive line in Arizona.

He was a loser. All the talent, none of the heart or drive.
He took over a first place team and tanked them right out of the playoffs, and the team didn't get back until Elway came back.
