The O-Line took a hit by losing Koppen/Walton in the summer and Clady in the second game. On the defensive side, I would label missing starters Von Miller, Vickerson, Wolfe, Harris, Moore and Bailey for significant time crippling. And a bunch of other bit players. Again, with normal...

You missed the qualifier I put in my post about "no significant injuries at the end of the season". I'll give you Rice, which probably was their WR3 (behind Harvin and Baldwin). And McCoy which would have been their TE2 or TE3. While Browner was missing at the end, that wasn't due to injury.

Dan Koppen played 0 snaps for the Broncos last year. JD Walton played 0 snaps for the Broncos last year. Chris Kuper played 106 snaps (8%) for the Broncos last year. I doubt they will have too much trouble replacing the contribution from those players next year.

I agree that Elway has to share the credit for the very good 2011 draft. So lets look at the 2012 FA class instead. Elway got great value from Manning, Vickerson and Holliday. And had some decent signings in Tamme and Dreesen, Adams, Koppen and Brookings. The only real miss that year was...

Given that Von Miller, Chris Harris, Julius Thomas, Terrence Knighton and Trindon Holliday all were acquired after Elway took over, it would seem that you are, without knowing it, quite impressed with his job thus far.

I can give you some feedback: Your wrong :) In 2013, the Broncos OL looked like this: Clark, Beadles, Ramirez, Vasquez, Franklin Of these, Clark, Ramirez, Vasquez and Franklin are still under contract. For 2014, Ryan Clady (which went on IR after week2) will return and provide a huge...
