    Von Miller out for the season

    Looks like a vicious ankle injury is gonna put Miller out for the year. This is why you don't pay outside linebackers franchise quarterback-type of money:

    That sucks. Broncos are done unless Drew Lock magically transforms into Peyton Manning

    The Broncos are done regardless. Drew Lock is merely Brock Osweiler v2.0: a quarterback with a good arm and above-average measurables that everybody eventually figures out sucks after about 3 years.

    Elway is absolutely dreadful as a general manager, but everyone in Denver gives him a pass on it because he's treated like Elvis. The last QB they drafted in the first round just got kicked off the Steelers PS because Duck Hodges is apparently a better option. Ee-gads. Then, they tie up Von Miller to a 9-figure contract - the kind of money typically only reserved for franchise QBs, which precludes them from surrounding him with other talent.

    Von Miller goes down, and now they've got no Plan B behind him. Denver may be a last place team this year in the AFC West.

    TJ Watt is going to get a Von Miller type deal in all likelihood, so I am not sure I'd bash Elway for signing Miller to a lucrative deal. The guy was (..and maybe still is when healthy..) a game wrecker that had to be accounted for on every play.
