Something to consider here when comparing Elway to Thompson is Thompson inherited a team that was picking in the bottom half of the draft every year and Elway inherited a team that had been picking towards the top of every round. Not taking away from Elway, he did win a Championship and that's what it's about. It's just hard to say Elway is better than Thompson when being the almighty word here, objective!!

Didn't spend a lot of time here, but here's where they originally were selecting. I would have to think the Packers would have a little better roster if they were picking there too. Then again, the Broncos developed their players so they do deserve a lot of credit for that.

2011 - 2nd (Elway first year as Exec)
2010 - 14th
2009 - 12th
2008 - 12th
2007 - 21st
2006 - 15th

John Elway is the Anti-Ted Thompson?

Meaning that Elway's lets his drafted and developed future starting QB get away in free agency, unlike Ted Thompson did?

Elway had a price for Brock and he wasn't going to budge. He probably knows he's nothing more than average, at best.

Fascinating thread, and then adding this little bit makes it more so.

beast (30-Dec) : If Falcons win, Packers stay as the 6th seed and Falcons lead the NFCS, if they lose, Commanders 6th and Bucs take NFCS lead

beast (30-Dec) : Win or Loss, the NFCS is going down to week 18
