    Look at all the Free Agents making plays for the Broncos

    Ware, Sanders, Talib, Owen Daniels, TJ Ward.....it's almost like there is more than 1 way of buildling a team.

    Huh.

    Sure if you want to bet the House on a 40n year old QB. It gets dismantled starting this offseason.
    Bud Adams told me the franchise he admired the most was the Kansas City Chiefs. Then he asked for more hookers and blow.

    So because it gets dismantled in the offseason, their SB win is worse less than the Packers not getting their at all? Okay.

    1 Super Bowl in a four year run. How is that better than Packers 2008-2010?

    and if GB had been there, it might have been Julius Peppers, Letroi Guion, James Jones, John Kuhn.

    the first 2 are legit...and your last two were street FAs. But whatever keeps you warm in your TT pajamas warm at night.

    Well, for that matter, Julius Peppers was a street free agent too, as was Letroy Guion. What's the difference? Are they worse because they were street free agents? Oh, and why the insults?

    Not only is Elway a better GM than TT, but Elway doesn't even have front office experience and had to learn on the fly.

    He's a great one, no doubt. Elway should go into the HOF with Tony Dungy. I mean, why wait?

    Doesn't have front office experience? He's been in training since 2003, 1st as owner, CEO etc. of a minor league team, then as an adviser to the Broncos, then as VP of football operations for the Broncos, now as GM. He started working toward it shortly after retiring as a player.

    Your argument loses steam when you act as if there is no difference in these players and their situations vs the key Broncos free agents.

    In what way? Weren't they able to sign with anyone they wanted to? Couldn't any team have signed them if they wanted to? Don't some street free agents, sign big $ contracts? Don't some "regular" free agents get minimum contracts, or no contract at all?

    Educate me. What is the difference between a free agent whose contract expires, and a free agent whose contract is terminated before the final year it had on the face of it? What was the difference between James Jones in 2014 and James Jones in 2015?

    It's a different philosophy, a different kind of approach. Its far more aggressive to pursue a free agent whose contract has expired vs acquiring a guy who was released or taking a flyer on someone else's practice squad,etc. You have to see that? Denver has more pursued free agents that made an impact on this super bowl team than the Pack have had in a decade. There is a clear distinction, in the aggressive approach and the volume. It's clear as day.

    It's like packerbacker1234 is back.
    But Rodgers leads the league in frumpy expressions and negative body language on the sideline, which makes him, like Josh Allen, a unique double threat.

    It is kind of amazing that horseface the GM has won a Super Bowl.

    What an ugly game though.
