Purchased one for my son's 27th birthday which arrived on the day itself. He's very happy (as happy as a Broncos fan can be this year) to wear it every Sunday for the remainder of the season.
Exactly, as a Kansas City Chiefs fan who sat through our 50-year rebuild, this brings me great joy to see Denver going through this. I'm sorry I'm a bad person for enjoying their pain, but I was bullied by too many Bronco fans over the years including my own damn sister
Honestly the Goff/Stafford trade has to be one of the best win/win trades in NFL history. McVeigh got his "fuck them picks!" ring, and now the Lions are using those picks to dominate the NFC North. Feelsgoodman.jpg
The Lions would have been fine with that trade even if Goff had been what he was expected to be (a stopgap before they find their franchise guy). I'd be surprised if there was a better "everybody wins" trade in NFL history.
Seahawks fan: The disrespect towards Goff as a cast-off in that trade pissed me off considering how successful Goff was during his tenure with the Rams.
And the broncos definitely don't have a claim to the "worst team in football". The bears, browns, chargers, Jets and many more have much stronger cases.
@@TheChallengerXXit’s so weird to me how some of these head coaches even landed some jobs to begin with how odd they are. Some people just aren’t meant to lead and that’s ok ha
This video reminds me of how bad the Chiefs were before Andy and Alex showed up. We were having very similar disasters year after year. Then Andy came and set us down a much better path.
So what you're saying is the Broncos need to hire a brilliant coach who gets fired from another struggling franchise and then grab an underrated veteran QB to start until they break their leg in horrible fashion while a QB project sits and becomes the best QB ever. Super easy formula to follow lol
EVEN CHIEFS FANS FEELING SORRY FOR YALL......KIDDING!! YOU GET BACK WHAT WAS PUT IN . PERNA HAS GOOD CONTENT BUT LIKE ALL NON CHIEFS FANS THEY DONT GET THAT A GOOD CULTURE TENDS TO MAKE BETTER OVERALL DECISIONS EZ ..ITS WHY TAYLOR SWIFT&KETCHUP AND NUGGIES GO HARD RN LOL
At this point, after the last two years of content we got….the content we DESERVE would be next year the Broncos going 15-2 and blanking the Chiefs twice on their way to the Super Bowl. Perna’s earned it, and this is from a Chiefs fan
As a Seahawks fan, the day I heard about the Russell Wilson trade, I knew the Broncos had been absolutely fleeced. Not quite up to the Herschel Walker level, but not a million miles away from it, either. Back when Seattle was in the AFC West, losing regularly to Denver, I was hoping we could get revenge someday. But at this point, it's beating a dead horse, if you'll excuse the expression.
The Broncos fell into the "A QB will fix everything." trap. I'm not sure Payton Manning could have made last years Broncos team a winner (certainly not with Hackett as head coach). And the Broncos gave up way too much, even if Wilson were as good a QB as Manning (he's not even close).
they didnt give up to much if wilson was an elite qb they gave up way to much for a aging b who was losing his ability to scramble and make plays out of the pocket and you are just left with a short pocket passer @@russlehman2070
I 100% stand by the fact that if the Broncos drafted Josh Allen they would have completely botched his development And I think if they had put more effort, patience and focus into developing Drew Lock he could have been something
@@dabbingtoast7743 He's the backup, so he's the most popular guy in Seattle, especially after the dismal performance Geno posted against Cincy last Sunday
That the Broncos failed to hire the son of their greatest coach who was also the hottest coaching prospect in the league at the time is really amazing. What are the chances that your all time franchise coach's son turns out to be a great coach? That never happens. It actually happened to Denver, and they were too stupid to take advantage of it. Wow.
You hit the nail on the head early on, Perna! This team consistently deluded itself into thinking, "we're just one guy away" after Manning retired, but the issues ran a lot deeper than that, and have since compounded. The fire sale needs to start after the GB game!
These teams are so foolish sometimes. Trying to replace a Peyton Manning is like looking for the next Dalai Llama. Indy let Manning walk, held the #1 pick and drafted the best QB prospect in 20 years, but didn’t want to build the O Line bc Manning made it work, but Luck took a beating and retired after 5 years
Yeah. Maybe if the Broncos had found a good QB immediately after Manning, they might have been able to have some more success initially, but thanks to the line of bad QBs they trotted out, the Broncos became so focused on trying to fix the QB problem, they didn't realize the rest of the team was beginning to wither on the vine.
1 back to back playoff appearances in 33 years…..I’ve seen the Broncos win 3 Superbowl’s in my life time, I’ve seen my Bears make the Playoffs 6 total times in 28-29 years……Don’t feel bad for ya Denva.
The frustrating thing is a lot of these decisions went against fan’s wishes. We could see the disaster unfolding after every single unpopular decision after another.
Paxton Lynch is just a hilarious story. I don't follow the Broncos much but he was the starter for the '23 XFL Orlando Guardians, the head coach accused his backup Quentin Dormady of leaking the playbook to opponents (he wasn't) but Lynch sucked so much that Dormady became the starter anyways after a few games. Also the Guardians won 1 game the whole season, and that was when Dormady was playing
Paxton Lynch signed my Broncos phone case at the 2016 training camp. As he did so I said to him "autograph from the future of the franchise!" His response was a wry chuckle and a "well, we'll see about that." Pretty much knew right there what would happen.
I found you weeks ago thru the algorithm; based off my fantasy football and long format video essay content preferences. Quality content! Im so happy that you have found an amazing outlet for your pain. Keep up the good work!
Old guy here. Used to watch a lot of pro football when I was younger, but not so much anymore. My brother likes the Chiefs, and I’ve always been a casual fan of KC too. This is so reminiscent of what the Chiefs went through in the last 40 years. Win a SB in 1970 with hall of fame players, then those players retire and just cannot be replaced. Same thing with coaches and GMs. Then came the draft of 83. Elway was in that class as was Dan Marino, which the Chiefs could have had. No, they went with Todd Blackledge, who in hindsight, turned out to be the worst of the 6 QBs in that legendary draft. All those years, the Chiefs had really good defenses, great special teams, but castoffs and backup level talent at the QB position. I remember one year, I believe it was 1993, or 94, the Chiefs won the West with a 13-3 record, had a first round bye, and home field advantage, needing only to win 2 games, at home, to go to the Super Bowl. Guess what ? They lost the divisional game to Denver, of all teams, 14-10. The Chiefs didn’t sniff playoff win for another decade or so. I believe it was 22 years until they actually won a playoff game, they were 0-7 at one point. All because they just needed that one special player at the most difficult position in football. Any team that has been great, wins playoff or SB games, has had that player, or better yet, a core group of talented individuals at the same time. I started watching in the 70s, but remembered the Packers of the 60s. Legendary coach in Vince Lombardi, Qb Bart Starr. Miami Dolphins, great coach in Don Shula, Bob Griese at QB, Kiick, Czonca, Morris at running back and no name defense. Only team to go 17-0 undefeated season and win SB. Late 70 early 80s, the Pittsburgh Steelers. 80s had SF 49ers with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice. 90s Cowboys with the triplets. Then almost 2 decades of the hated Patriots with Tom Brady and Gronckeski. It just seems to go in cycles. The thing I savor is that the Broncos pretty much owned the Chiefs while they had their great defenses along with Elway and Manning. Now KC has a generational talent in MaHomes, very similar to Elway, along with a great HC in Andy Reid combined with a pretty good GM in Brett Veach. It looks like the Broncos get to suffer with their bad decisions and miss picks, just like the Chiefs did for 20 plus years or so. In fact, I believe KC has a 15 game win streak against Denver, which is unheard of. Some of the games have been close, but MaHomes is clearly better than any QB that Denver has, let alone the league. Oh, once MaHomes begins his descent into mediocrity, and Denver FINALLY drafts a great QB, and patiently develops him, then the tides will reverse. But that won’t happen for probably another 10 years. In the meantime, all of Chiefs Kingdom will revel in the Broncos misery. Such is life in the NFL.
I'll always believe that Joe Ellis vetoed bringing back Mike Shanahan and then later hiring Kyle Shanahan. Things would have been much different in Bronco Country with the Shanahans. Well done, Perna, well done! I'm still scared of balls deep though. 😎
When I saw the title, I thought to myself: "Self, this video is going to have to be at least one and half hours long. Don't click on it". I don't know how you did it, but you snuck this video in just over 25 minutes. That's talent right there.
There was an interview with John Lynch after he took over in San Fran where he talked about how he lets other people assess safeties because he felt that he was too close to the position to make a good, objective assessment regarding that position. I wonder if that was partially what went wrong during the Elway era.... because of his years as a QB (and possibly because of his years as a QB in an era where being a QB is significantly different than what it is now), maybe Elway was not equipped to be making good judgement calls on quarterbacks and should have let somebody else look at them and give him suggestions.
Maybe Elway is just a narcissist and does not want anyone to overshadow his accomplices he to. Lol. Just a thought. It’s something I have wondered. Or maybe just because you are a good player does not mean you make good management.
@@mikepalmer1971 Wrong spin on the narcissist theory, Elway consistently picked tall physical white guys (y'know, just like him) to the point it became a meme.
@mikepalmer2219 and Elway had nothing to do with russell wilson coming to denver recently. He did choose Brock over him in that draft way back in day though. Further proven the Point
Having been a Broncos fan for 4+ decades I often don't agree with the younger generation's assessment of the team in the last few years but Brandon's assessment is SPOT ON and he makes that PAINFUL pill easier to swallow with the humor!!!
@@kessel12 As a fan I can say they don't. Among other things, nobody thought they should have drafted him where they did to begin with. But letting him go was the right thing to do.
I wear my ‘I’m dying inside’ t shirt under my Von Miller jersey every Sunday now. Its an effective way to inform my wife and family how the game is going at the time. Needless to say, the Jersey has not lasted long every week 😂
In fairness, Lock really wasn't given a chance. He got saddled with a HC that didn't give a damn about the offense, and an OC who didn't care to develop players. Too many people in the Broncos organization, as well as fans, look at Mahomes and Herbert and judge all rookie QBs by that standard. No one wants to take the time to develop a player, they just want buy one. It has been a death by a thousand cuts.
It is not that Lock would have ever been a Hall of Fame quarterback. He probably could have been a decent quarterback had he been coached properly, surrounded by good players, and given a chance. True greats like Mahomes or Brady or Manning, are going to be great no matter what. For most quarterbacks, however, the difference between success and failure is the situation they are put into. Look at Alex Smith. He was terrible in San Fransisco when he played on bad teams for bad coaches. He goes to Kansas City and he was a very good player. He isn't going to the Hall of Fame but he wasn't bad either. I think Drew Lock is kind of like Alex Smith only he never got to play for a good coach surrounded by a good team.
Brandan, the Broncos did something similar during 99-00, right after their back to back SB wins. They tried to move forward with an aging Super Bowl winner and picked some questionable starting QBs. The common element, of course, is Elway. He should have remembered what happened.
As a KC native and lifelong Chiefs fan, the Broncos (at best) mediocrity since 2015 ended has made me so joyously happy. But dang, I can truly see the pain in Perna. I hope it gets better, brother.
I remember the first reactions to the Russel Wilson trade, and a lot of peoole were saying that denver fleeced seattle, and I felt like the only person who though Denver gave up WAY too much for a QB coming off injury
@@A_UA-cam_Commenteryou can’t deny that the prevailing narrative at the time was Denver absolutely fleeced the hawks. Russ was being held back by old man Pete, broncos are just a qb away, etc. lol. GO HAWKS!!!
Since Manning, they’ve wasted 4 seasons with top 10 defenses because of bad offenses. Russ is top 5 in TDS right now even with last week’s game & the defense is dead last by a mile
Russ sucks ass. He played all the easiest pass defenses in nfl to pad his stats. The 2 defenses that are actually good against the pass are chiefs and jets. Which he looked like a 4th string qb against. Russ. Sucks.
I have been a draft junkie for several years, mostly because my team was scared to draft a QB for three decades. I paid close attention to every team in the division and the fact that the broncos fans were even sold on the one player away myth for so long just boggles me.
Right there with you. I loved prospects that were flashier. (Allen, mahomes, dak ect) and it always blew my mind how we never drafted anything but boring ass qbs.
I would love to see a video in this style for the Chicago Bears since either they appeared in the NFC championship game in 2011 or the Double Doink. You could do both.
Wow this is fantastic and puts a few things into sharp perspective: 1. Denver's overreliance on what got them their last SB ring - snatching up a veteran QB and selling the farm for 'proven talent'. 2. And on that same vein - ignoring the task of actually identifying talent (at the time it seemed like the 'smart' and 'safe' way to go, but in hindsight it seems more like a failure to heed the longtime wisdom of putting in the work to identify potential talent - maybe because it was just too hard?) 3. Management's ability to hold a grudge and allow that to affect decisions that shape the team
Wow! I had no idea one could cover every mistake Denver has made in 25 minutes or less... This is Brilliant! It's also Excruciatingly PAINFUL to listen to because it's obviously TRUE.
Manning winning the Broncos that SB they shouldn't have won while on one leg, getting benched for Brock, dodging a teabagging scandal at TN, pumped to the gills with HGH, having one of the weakest QB SB performances - then tongue kissing Papa John after shouting out Budweiser in the post-game was the evidence used against Denver in the subsequent ruling by the Football Gods that the Broncos are to serve a 50-year sentence of mediocrity.
This was awesome now do the Patriots. But seriously you should make this into episodes about other teams who fell from Grace and how their organization fell apart.
You’re welcome for that 2015 AFC Championship win. Sincerely, a Patriots fan SCREAMING at Belichick to kick field goals in the 4th quarter and now references that as the beginning of Belichick’s decision-making decline which now finds our team as arguably the worst in the NFL in 2023
As a Dolphins Fan I laughed my ass off when you guys took Vance Joseph and Jawaan James. Joseph was our coordinator for one season and had statistically one of the worst Dolphins defenses ever. Jawaan James spent so much time on his back I could never figure out if he thought he was a turtle or a prostitute…
McGlinchy struggled in our offense as well, dude killed so many drives with how often he got penalized. Wish him well but glad he’s out of the picture.
@@SerenityNow9015 he was great in running schemes but horrible in pass protection which is why I think he got the contract he did. Even though McKivitz hasn't been super amazing at times, I have rarely heard his name called on penalties and in the play backs which is a good thing.
Hers what I can tell you as a long time colts fan. Manning was so good that he made everyone else in his offense look way better than they actually were. Same thing happened in Indy. We thought our team was so great until we lost Manning to injury for and entire season. Then all of the sudden we sucked and it because the team wasn’t as good as we thought without manning. Same thing happened to Denver.
Agreed. The only season this doesn'r apply is 2015 when Manning was mediocre, and even then, he helped us march down the field for important points, even field goals while our defense did the heavy lifting. That's easily the greatest defense I have ever seen, at least for my Broncos.
Also worth mentioning that they decided to immediately move off of Tim Tebow upon signing Manning, which limited them from having a young QB on the roster capable of keeping by them competitive. Sure Tebow didn’t turn out afterward, but not investing in the development of your 1st round franchise QB, who revitalized the franchise after and impressive playoff win the year before, despite having the ultimate mentor for him, definitely cost them considering the QB purgatory they have been in since Manning left.
@@Guy_Incognito1 I agrfee. Tebow was popular, especially with the Holy Rollers, but I don't think he was ever going to be a top-level NFL QB. He had a lot of the qualities you want to see in a QB, except the ability to throw the ball accurately and on time. He had a decent arm, but only when he used that weird baseball pitcher's windup, that took forever to get the ball out. He couldn't complete a pass on a quick timing route to save his life. The coaching staff that season did a hell of a job of sturcturing the offense around Tebow's modest abilities. Making him the starter that season wasn't a bad decision, ad they were clearly going nowhere with Kyle Orton, and they ended up making the playoffs (at 8-8 IIRC). And maybe there was something to all that praying, as there were a couple of late game comeback wins that were hard to explain by anything other than divine intervention
Brandon, welcome to what Dolphins fans had to deal with since Marino's retirement (minus the SB wins). I sincerely hope Broncos fans don't have to go through decades of bad teams like we had to. Good thing is Denver's former ball boy McNerd is now righting this ship for them.
Exactly, I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan and literally it took us 50 years to get back. I mean I don't even remember Lynn dawson. The first quarterback I really remember and rooted for was Todd Blackledge and yeah I'm not going to talk about him. He was taking the same draft as Marino and Elway and all those other guys
*YESSS!!! FINALLY SOMEONE ON UA-cam WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN!!!* And there's no guarantee it's even over yet, nobody and I mean NOBODY is more of an expert at collapsing after a good start than the Dolphins. Did you know they have more 5-1 starts without a playofff appearance than any other team? I WISH I was making this up but it's true.
I almost feel bad for Bronco fans everywhere. Almost. Living in Denver since ‘88 as a Seahawks fan, I’ve endured plenty of abuse from the Denver fan base and to see it all come back around is glorious.
You nailed it right on the head. I've been a Chiefs fan my whole life, and I spent 27 years in Wyoming raising my kids who are all die hard Chiefs fans. The amount of bullying and harassment we all got from Broncos fans, makes me enjoy this all the more
I'm not a fan of manufactured championship teams. The Elway years were more satisfying because Elway started his career in Denver and the journey was shared by all the fans. Drafting T.D. etc.. The bucs won a SB w brady but in 20 years Noone will talk of that like his 1st 20 years in New England. Same w manning to a lesser effect. Manning was a colt his whole journey, until the very end. Draft and develop. Hire qualified gm.
Lets not kid ourselves, before 2013, you could have made a two-hour special video on all of the Chiefs' mistakes they had made since winning the Super Bowl in 1970. The Chiefs are just a decade removed from being the New York Jets of the Midwest. Think about it, before Andy Reid and especially Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs and the Jets were virtually the same franchise; original AFL franchise who achieved glory in the late 60s followed by years of horrible teams punctuated by a occasional years of heartbreaking relevance.
With all of Denver's unhinged mistakes over the past few years it has made the fans of every other NFL team feel pretty good about their own team's decisions. Even the bad decisions look darned good when you compare them to how Denver has botched it.
As a Chiefs fan I've enjoyed this 16-0 😂 As a football fan the only person i can blame is Elway because he refused to get out of the way and build anything up in the background behind Peyton. I personally would love to see a competitive AFC West again.
That was one painful deep dive. If the Broncos are truly going to tank/get the younger players experience, hopefully the players they pick up in 2024 can start a more solid foundation rather than just trying to go for a bunch of quick fixes.
*Laughs in Redskins fan. You won a Super Bowl in 2016. The ungratefulness is MIND-BLOWING. I was just 5 months old when Washington won its last Super Bowl (1991). As if that’s not bad enough, it’s been 32 YEARS since we’ve won more than 10 games in a season. Do you understand what’s it’s like being the ONLY NFL team in a 32 year span to not win 11 games even ONCE in a season? The best part of that stat though? 32 years ago, the Panthers, Jags, Ravens, and Texans didn’t even EXIST back then. Meaning 4 NFL teams not even in EXISTENCE were born, as terrible expansions (except Bal), and STILL managed to get at least ONE 11 win season before Washington has. We’re talking 32 YEARS, let that marinate. The Houston Texans are barely 21 years old and still got to the 11 win mountaintop before us. Now add in the fact that even the BROWNS, JETS, AND LIONS have an 11 win season in that span and it’s just so bleak and pitiful. We’re going on 19 YEARS WITHOUT A PLAYOFF WIN. Not even a wildcard weekend win.
There is no denying that Von Miller absolutely destroyed Cam Newton not so much Manning! Why is NOBODY talking about the decline of the Denver Defense? For almost if not a decade the Denver Defense has been a top 10 top 5 Defense. Von Miler and the "no fly zone' was no joke! We finally get "something" going on Offense and all the sudden no Defense to be seen! 70 POINTS WTF? I know it must be Wilson's fault! (Ha, Ha............ CLOWNS!)
3:41 Wait...WHAT?!?! Why am I only finding out about this NOW??? According to the media, my team's the only one in NFL history who's ever been caught tampering.
Ravens fan here. With the benefit of hindsight, well ... I guess I owe Ozzie Newsome a massive apology. Unlike the Broncos, the Ravens actually did blow their team up after winning Super Bowl 47. The main reason was Ray Lewis' retirement, arguably the most important player of this Ravens franchise, and Ozzie already knew there would be chemistry issues without their team's pivot. Only Flacco and Suggs stuck around, while other notable players like Ed Reed and Anquan Boldin moved on to other teams. The Ravens were not "bowling shoe ugly" bad, but it is hard to compete with the Killer Bs Steelers or the Andy Dalton - AJ Green connection in their primes. Plus, while the Ravens have been known to draft well, some notable mistakes also contributed to guys like Matt Judon and CJ Mosley leaving in free agency cause the team is not competitive enough. At the very least, Ozzie left the team with something special before he retired, cause the very last player he ever drafted in the first round was a QB named Lamar Jackson. You know how that worked out.
As a Broncos fan I feel like I just visited a therapist and had to relive some trauma. A lot of the moves were roll of the dice gambles that didn’t pan out well. The Russell Wilson trade is unforgivable though, makes me sick thinking back on how many players and picks we gave up for him, ughhh.

And the broncos definitely don't have a claim to the "worst team in football". The bears, browns, chargers, Jets and many more have much stronger cases.

The Broncos fell into the "A QB will fix everything." trap. I'm not sure Payton Manning could have made last years Broncos team a winner (certainly not with Hackett as head coach). And the Broncos gave up way too much, even if Wilson were as good a QB as Manning (he's not even close).

For that half a quarter Drew played when Geno was injured he looked solid!
Looking back I have to agree! Lock looks pretty decent right now.
I was going to comment something similar, very unlikely Denver would have been patient enough for Allen to make it out of year 1 as a starter
He couldn’t beat out a career back-up in Geno. Drew Locke is not good and has never shown anything to give anyone reason to believe otherwise.
@@dabbingtoast7743 He's the backup, so he's the most popular guy in Seattle, especially after the dismal performance Geno posted against Cincy last Sunday
That the Broncos failed to hire the son of their greatest coach who was also the hottest coaching prospect in the league at the time is really amazing. What are the chances that your all time franchise coach's son turns out to be a great coach? That never happens. It actually happened to Denver, and they were too stupid to take advantage of it. Wow.

Same with us falcons
I'd love for you to do an autopsy of the Panthers since Super Bowl 50, since it seems our fates both took a nosedive after that game.
Yes the broncos sold thier souls for that win where cam took a dive or refused to take a dive for the ball I guess you could say.

As a Broncos fan, this made me sad
But damn good work Perna. Damn good
It's a sad look in the mirror.
You hit the nail on the head early on, Perna! This team consistently deluded itself into thinking, "we're just one guy away" after Manning retired, but the issues ran a lot deeper than that, and have since compounded. The fire sale needs to start after the GB game!
These teams are so foolish sometimes. Trying to replace a Peyton Manning is like looking for the next Dalai Llama. Indy let Manning walk, held the #1 pick and drafted the best QB prospect in 20 years, but didn’t want to build the O Line bc Manning made it work, but Luck took a beating and retired after 5 years
Yeah. Maybe if the Broncos had found a good QB immediately after Manning, they might have been able to have some more success initially, but thanks to the line of bad QBs they trotted out, the Broncos became so focused on trying to fix the QB problem, they didn't realize the rest of the team was beginning to wither on the vine.
Nathaniel Hackett was not a play calling OC at Green Bay. Anyone who thought he was qualified to call plays should be fired
As a Bears fan, this is the place we've been since Super Bowl XX 🥴
Yup, call us when your team has not done anything for 38 years. Imagine being born into that season…
1 back to back playoff appearances in 33 years…..I’ve seen the Broncos win 3 Superbowl’s in my life time, I’ve seen my Bears make the Playoffs 6 total times in 28-29 years……Don’t feel bad for ya Denva.
@@dobe46(the Cleveland Browns have entered the chat)
@@johnathanrush4666 technically that team started in 1999 and the Cleveland Browns team you are think about is in Baltimore and has 2 title.
The frustrating thing is a lot of these decisions went against fan’s wishes. We could see the disaster unfolding after every single unpopular decision after another.
Love that Perna uploads this the same day as Frank Clark is supposedly in KC for a physical after trolling the Broncos and getting let go.
Yeah the fact that Frank Clark got paid troll them and now he's coming home to Kansas City, best thing ever.❤
And watch him get 3 sacks the next time they play 😂
This didn't age quite that well. Still though, he did end up on one of his former teams.
CJ's 40 yard dash was rated M all of sudden, what a legend 😂😂😂😂😂
Paxton Lynch is just a hilarious story. I don't follow the Broncos much but he was the starter for the '23 XFL Orlando Guardians, the head coach accused his backup Quentin Dormady of leaking the playbook to opponents (he wasn't) but Lynch sucked so much that Dormady became the starter anyways after a few games. Also the Guardians won 1 game the whole season, and that was when Dormady was playing
Dormady was fun to watch, that one win was against an unbeaten team
Paxton Lynch signed my Broncos phone case at the 2016 training camp. As he did so I said to him "autograph from the future of the franchise!" His response was a wry chuckle and a "well, we'll see about that." Pretty much knew right there what would happen.

Painful
Old guy here. Used to watch a lot of pro football when I was younger, but not so much anymore. My brother likes the Chiefs, and I’ve always been a casual fan of KC too. This is so reminiscent of what the Chiefs went through in the last 40 years. Win a SB in 1970 with hall of fame players, then those players retire and just cannot be replaced. Same thing with coaches and GMs.
Then came the draft of 83. Elway was in that class as was Dan Marino, which the Chiefs could have had. No, they went with Todd Blackledge, who in hindsight, turned out to be the worst of the 6 QBs in that legendary draft. All those years, the Chiefs had really good defenses, great special teams, but castoffs and backup level talent at the QB position.
I remember one year, I believe it was 1993, or 94, the Chiefs won the West with a 13-3 record, had a first round bye, and home field advantage, needing only to win 2 games, at home, to go to the Super Bowl.
Guess what ? They lost the divisional game to Denver, of all teams, 14-10. The Chiefs didn’t sniff playoff win for another decade or so. I believe it was 22 years until they actually won a playoff game, they were 0-7 at one point. All because they just needed that one special player at the most difficult position in football.
Any team that has been great, wins playoff or SB games, has had that player, or better yet, a core group of talented individuals at the same time.
I started watching in the 70s, but remembered the Packers of the 60s. Legendary coach in Vince Lombardi, Qb Bart Starr.
Miami Dolphins, great coach in Don Shula, Bob Griese at QB, Kiick, Czonca, Morris at running back and no name defense. Only team to go 17-0 undefeated season and win SB.
Late 70 early 80s, the Pittsburgh Steelers.
80s had SF 49ers with Joe Montana and Jerry Rice.
90s Cowboys with the triplets.
Then almost 2 decades of the hated Patriots with Tom Brady and Gronckeski.
It just seems to go in cycles.
The thing I savor is that the Broncos pretty much owned the Chiefs while they had their great defenses along with Elway and Manning. Now KC has a generational talent in MaHomes, very similar to Elway, along with a great HC in Andy Reid combined with a pretty good GM in Brett Veach.
It looks like the Broncos get to suffer with their bad decisions and miss picks, just like the Chiefs did for 20 plus years or so. In fact, I believe KC has a 15 game win streak against Denver, which is unheard of. Some of the games have been close, but MaHomes is clearly better than any QB that Denver has, let alone the league.
Oh, once MaHomes begins his descent into mediocrity, and Denver FINALLY drafts a great QB, and patiently develops him, then the tides will reverse. But that won’t happen for probably another 10 years. In the meantime, all of Chiefs Kingdom will revel in the Broncos misery.
Such is life in the NFL.
I'll always believe that Joe Ellis vetoed bringing back Mike Shanahan and then later hiring Kyle Shanahan. Things would have been much different in Bronco Country with the Shanahans. Well done, Perna, well done! I'm still scared of balls deep though. 😎
As a Chiefs fan, I feel the need to send Joe Ellis a nice note, or maybe a fruit basket, to thank him for making those decisions..
When I saw the title, I thought to myself: "Self, this video is going to have to be at least one and half hours long. Don't click on it". I don't know how you did it, but you snuck this video in just over 25 minutes. That's talent right there.
It's been years long 😓😓
There was an interview with John Lynch after he took over in San Fran where he talked about how he lets other people assess safeties because he felt that he was too close to the position to make a good, objective assessment regarding that position. I wonder if that was partially what went wrong during the Elway era.... because of his years as a QB (and possibly because of his years as a QB in an era where being a QB is significantly different than what it is now), maybe Elway was not equipped to be making good judgement calls on quarterbacks and should have let somebody else look at them and give him suggestions.
Maybe Elway is just a narcissist and does not want anyone to overshadow his accomplices he to. Lol. Just a thought. It’s something I have wondered. Or maybe just because you are a good player does not mean you make good management.
@@mikepalmer1971 Wrong spin on the narcissist theory, Elway consistently picked tall physical white guys (y'know, just like him) to the point it became a meme.
@@arachnofiend2859 that makes zero sense. Russel Wilson is not a tall white guy. Lol.
@mikepalmer2219 and Elway had nothing to do with russell wilson coming to denver recently. He did choose Brock over him in that draft way back in day though. Further proven the Point

It's good it's the only the Broncos because you can feel the pain in voice😢
The hurt is real.
Having been a Broncos fan for 4+ decades I often don't agree with the younger generation's assessment of the team in the last few years but Brandon's assessment is SPOT ON and he makes that PAINFUL pill easier to swallow with the humor!!!
I'm a 9er fan. McGlinchy has always struggled. Nobody was complaining when the 9ers let him hit FA.
It’s like the Niners know what they’re doing when it comes to football team decisions. What a weird concept.
@@kessel12 As a fan I can say they don't. Among other things, nobody thought they should have drafted him where they did to begin with. But letting him go was the right thing to do.

Love this. As a long time Bronco fan, I found my new favorite channel!
I wear my ‘I’m dying inside’ t shirt under my Von Miller jersey every Sunday now. Its an effective way to inform my wife and family how the game is going at the time. Needless to say, the Jersey has not lasted long every week 😂
Do you have his superbowl 50 jersey? I need that tbh
The irony that John Elway cant find a quarterback isnt lost on me.
In fairness, Lock really wasn't given a chance. He got saddled with a HC that didn't give a damn about the offense, and an OC who didn't care to develop players. Too many people in the Broncos organization, as well as fans, look at Mahomes and Herbert and judge all rookie QBs by that standard. No one wants to take the time to develop a player, they just want buy one. It has been a death by a thousand cuts.
It is not that Lock would have ever been a Hall of Fame quarterback. He probably could have been a decent quarterback had he been coached properly, surrounded by good players, and given a chance. True greats like Mahomes or Brady or Manning, are going to be great no matter what. For most quarterbacks, however, the difference between success and failure is the situation they are put into. Look at Alex Smith. He was terrible in San Fransisco when he played on bad teams for bad coaches. He goes to Kansas City and he was a very good player. He isn't going to the Hall of Fame but he wasn't bad either. I think Drew Lock is kind of like Alex Smith only he never got to play for a good coach surrounded by a good team.
Brandan, the Broncos did something similar during 99-00, right after their back to back SB wins.
They tried to move forward with an aging Super Bowl winner and picked some questionable starting QBs.
The common element, of course, is Elway. He should have remembered what happened.
As a KC native and lifelong Chiefs fan, the Broncos (at best) mediocrity since 2015 ended has made me so joyously happy. But dang, I can truly see the pain in Perna. I hope it gets better, brother.
I hope the Chiefs have a good division rivalry at some point during the Mahomes Era.

I remember the first reactions to the Russel Wilson trade, and a lot of peoole were saying that denver fleeced seattle, and I felt like the only person who though Denver gave up WAY too much for a QB coming off injury
No. The trade was terrible. For Denver anyways.
Denver seems to love gimpy quarterbacks that are past their prime.
@@A_UA-cam_Commenteryou can’t deny that the prevailing narrative at the time was Denver absolutely fleeced the hawks. Russ was being held back by old man Pete, broncos are just a qb away, etc. lol. GO HAWKS!!!
That Detroit/LA trade is looking to be one the most mutually beneficial trades in history.
You either die a Raider, or live long enough to see yourself become the Raiders.
The title should have been labeled Every Wrong Decision John Elway made after Winning Super Bowl 50
Elway and Ellis overstayed their welcome.
One mistake the Broncos didn't make is having you as a fan Perna. You're the best
Since Manning, they’ve wasted 4 seasons with top 10 defenses because of bad offenses. Russ is top 5 in TDS right now even with last week’s game & the defense is dead last by a mile
Right, they're always laughing at Russ, but I really think this is an organization issue
Russ sucks ass. He played all the easiest pass defenses in nfl to pad his stats. The 2 defenses that are actually good against the pass are chiefs and jets. Which he looked like a 4th string qb against. Russ. Sucks.
I think you left one big mistake out. Letting Wade Phillips get away because they didn't want to pay him what he wanted after he won Super Bowl 50.
You know it's bad when I forgot we even had Flacco at all 😂
I have been a draft junkie for several years, mostly because my team was scared to draft a QB for three decades. I paid close attention to every team in the division and the fact that the broncos fans were even sold on the one player away myth for so long just boggles me.
Right there with you. I loved prospects that were flashier. (Allen, mahomes, dak ect) and it always blew my mind how we never drafted anything but boring ass qbs.
I would love to see a video in this style for the Chicago Bears since either they appeared in the NFC championship game in 2011 or the Double Doink. You could do both.
Tom Grossi did a video about Bears a couple of weeks ago. The video was solely about Bears and he kind of did a ‘balls deep’ like this one.
Wow this is fantastic and puts a few things into sharp perspective:
1. Denver's overreliance on what got them their last SB ring - snatching up a veteran QB and selling the farm for 'proven talent'.
2. And on that same vein - ignoring the task of actually identifying talent (at the time it seemed like the 'smart' and 'safe' way to go, but in hindsight it seems more like a failure to heed the longtime wisdom of putting in the work to identify potential talent - maybe because it was just too hard?)
3. Management's ability to hold a grudge and allow that to affect decisions that shape the team
I’m a bears fan and it breaks my heart to see how kyle fuller did in Denver. Dude was awesome here
As a Bears fan, our disappear is quadruple the amount of years of what we have had to endure compared to Brandon.
Wow! I had no idea one could cover every mistake Denver has made in 25 minutes or less... This is Brilliant! It's also Excruciatingly PAINFUL to listen to because it's obviously TRUE.
it's wild to be a Cardinals fan and think "Man, I'm glad I'm not a Broncos fan. Those guys got it rough."
The number one resource the Broncos are missing, is Pat Bowlen. The Dolphins, Redskins, took several years to recover from the death of their owners.
The panthers and Broncos received 50 years of hurt after going to Super Bowl 50
Manning winning the Broncos that SB they shouldn't have won while on one leg, getting benched for Brock, dodging a teabagging scandal at TN, pumped to the gills with HGH, having one of the weakest QB SB performances - then tongue kissing Papa John after shouting out Budweiser in the post-game was the evidence used against Denver in the subsequent ruling by the Football Gods that the Broncos are to serve a 50-year sentence of mediocrity.
Then look at what happened to Cam Newton and the Panthers. That Super Bowl was cursed.
This was awesome now do the Patriots.
But seriously you should make this into episodes about other teams who fell from Grace and how their organization fell apart.
we need more time with the Patriots... maybe another year
the steelers haven’t fallen apart but they’re the walking mediocrity of the league. id like to see something about that
Great summary - just missing the Melvin Gordan debacle (plus the release of Phillip Lindsay!)
You’re welcome for that 2015 AFC Championship win.
Sincerely, a Patriots fan SCREAMING at Belichick to kick field goals in the 4th quarter and now references that as the beginning of Belichick’s decision-making decline which now finds our team as arguably the worst in the NFL in 2023
Chicago?
The Giants?
You don't get to say you're welcome for losing 😂 Von Miller tore that ahh up fair and square
As a Dolphins Fan I laughed my ass off when you guys took Vance Joseph and Jawaan James. Joseph was our coordinator for one season and had statistically one of the worst Dolphins defenses ever. Jawaan James spent so much time on his back I could never figure out if he thought he was a turtle or a prostitute…
As a Niners fan, I thank for Randy Gregory 😁, even though we lost last week, Gregory was a bright spot and your welcome for McGlinchy.
What? He's second in false start penalties? What more could we want? Hey, NcGlincy, is it really that hard to remember what the snap count is?
McGlinchy struggled in our offense as well, dude killed so many drives with how often he got penalized. Wish him well but glad he’s out of the picture.
@@SerenityNow9015 he was great in running schemes but horrible in pass protection which is why I think he got the contract he did. Even though McKivitz hasn't been super amazing at times, I have rarely heard his name called on penalties and in the play backs which is a good thing.
When DeMeco Ryans said "No Thank You" to the Broncos and all the Walmart money, that should tell you all you need to know about Denver.
DeMeco Ryans is making me question my allegiances... at this point I've lived in Houston longer than I lived in Aurora
Hers what I can tell you as a long time colts fan. Manning was so good that he made everyone else in his offense look way better than they actually were. Same thing happened in Indy. We thought our team was so great until we lost Manning to injury for and entire season. Then all of the sudden we sucked and it because the team wasn’t as good as we thought without manning. Same thing happened to Denver.
Agreed. The only season this doesn'r apply is 2015 when Manning was mediocre, and even then, he helped us march down the field for important points, even field goals while our defense did the heavy lifting. That's easily the greatest defense I have ever seen, at least for my Broncos.
The description of the Vic Fangio hire about a young QB sound EXACTLY like the Bears hiring Eberflus for Justin Fields
Also worth mentioning that they decided to immediately move off of Tim Tebow upon signing Manning, which limited them from having a young QB on the roster capable of keeping by them competitive. Sure Tebow didn’t turn out afterward, but not investing in the development of your 1st round franchise QB, who revitalized the franchise after and impressive playoff win the year before, despite having the ultimate mentor for him, definitely cost them considering the QB purgatory they have been in since Manning left.
@@Guy_Incognito1 exactly!!
@@bonbonjames16The Kicker was Matt Prater, but yeah!
@@Guy_Incognito1 I agrfee. Tebow was popular, especially with the Holy Rollers, but I don't think he was ever going to be a top-level NFL QB. He had a lot of the qualities you want to see in a QB, except the ability to throw the ball accurately and on time. He had a decent arm, but only when he used that weird baseball pitcher's windup, that took forever to get the ball out. He couldn't complete a pass on a quick timing route to save his life. The coaching staff that season did a hell of a job of sturcturing the offense around Tebow's modest abilities. Making him the starter that season wasn't a bad decision, ad they were clearly going nowhere with Kyle Orton, and they ended up making the playoffs (at 8-8 IIRC). And maybe there was something to all that praying, as there were a couple of late game comeback wins that were hard to explain by anything other than divine intervention
Brandon, welcome to what Dolphins fans had to deal with since Marino's retirement (minus the SB wins). I sincerely hope Broncos fans don't have to go through decades of bad teams like we had to. Good thing is Denver's former ball boy McNerd is now righting this ship for them.
Exactly, I'm a Kansas City Chiefs fan and literally it took us 50 years to get back. I mean I don't even remember Lynn dawson. The first quarterback I really remember and rooted for was Todd Blackledge and yeah I'm not going to talk about him. He was taking the same draft as Marino and Elway and all those other guys
*YESSS!!! FINALLY SOMEONE ON UA-cam WHO UNDERSTANDS MY PAIN!!!* And there's no guarantee it's even over yet, nobody and I mean NOBODY is more of an expert at collapsing after a good start than the Dolphins. Did you know they have more 5-1 starts without a playofff appearance than any other team? I WISH I was making this up but it's true.

@@Wyomingchief maybe enjoying a few decades of a losing team with no hope will teach them a little humility and class.
I'm not a fan of manufactured championship teams. The Elway years were more satisfying because Elway started his career in Denver and the journey was shared by all the fans. Drafting T.D. etc.. The bucs won a SB w brady but in 20 years Noone will talk of that like his 1st 20 years in New England. Same w manning to a lesser effect. Manning was a colt his whole journey, until the very end. Draft and develop. Hire qualified gm.
How bout them Chiefs? Anyway, that was a low blow. Love your videos man. All love from KC!
Lets not kid ourselves, before 2013, you could have made a two-hour special video on all of the Chiefs' mistakes they had made since winning the Super Bowl in 1970. The Chiefs are just a decade removed from being the New York Jets of the Midwest. Think about it, before Andy Reid and especially Patrick Mahomes, the Chiefs and the Jets were virtually the same franchise; original AFL franchise who achieved glory in the late 60s followed by years of horrible teams punctuated by a occasional years of heartbreaking relevance.

With all of Denver's unhinged mistakes over the past few years it has made the fans of every other NFL team feel pretty good about their own team's decisions. Even the bad decisions look darned good when you compare them to how Denver has botched it.
As a Chiefs fan I've enjoyed this 16-0 😂
As a football fan the only person i can blame is Elway because he refused to get out of the way and build anything up in the background behind Peyton. I personally would love to see a competitive AFC West again.
I loved this. A video like this should be made for every team since their most recent suberbowl win
The best thing to come out of the Broncos downfall is Perna's content... And my wallet from betting against them, Broncos country let's ride!
That was one painful deep dive. If the Broncos are truly going to tank/get the younger players experience, hopefully the players they pick up in 2024 can start a more solid foundation rather than just trying to go for a bunch of quick fixes.
As a lifelong chiefs fan, this warms my soul

You won a Super Bowl in 2016. The ungratefulness is MIND-BLOWING. I was just 5 months old when Washington won its last Super Bowl (1991).
As if that’s not bad enough, it’s been 32 YEARS since we’ve won more than 10 games in a season. Do you understand what’s it’s like being the ONLY NFL team in a 32 year span to not win 11 games even ONCE in a season?
The best part of that stat though? 32 years ago, the Panthers, Jags, Ravens, and Texans didn’t even EXIST back then.
Meaning 4 NFL teams not even in EXISTENCE were born, as terrible expansions (except Bal), and STILL managed to get at least ONE 11 win season before Washington has.
We’re talking 32 YEARS, let that marinate. The Houston Texans are barely 21 years old and still got to the 11 win mountaintop before us. Now add in the fact that even the BROWNS, JETS, AND LIONS have an 11 win season in that span and it’s just so bleak and pitiful.
We’re going on 19 YEARS WITHOUT A PLAYOFF WIN. Not even a wildcard weekend win.
Russ breaking the Chiefs curse of the Red on Red uniforms may be his most damning aspect
The most honest man in sports. Props big dawg! 👏
There is no denying that Von Miller absolutely destroyed Cam Newton not so much Manning! Why is NOBODY talking about the decline of the Denver Defense? For almost if not a decade the Denver Defense has been a top 10 top 5 Defense. Von Miler and the "no fly zone' was no joke! We finally get "something" going on Offense and all the sudden no Defense to be seen! 70 POINTS WTF? I know it must be Wilson's fault! (Ha, Ha............ CLOWNS!)

"We are run by a drunk Woody" This may be the most fantastic phrase I've ever heard in a UA-cam video. Please clip it for GPS superchats.
Ravens fan here. With the benefit of hindsight, well ... I guess I owe Ozzie Newsome a massive apology.
Unlike the Broncos, the Ravens actually did blow their team up after winning Super Bowl 47. The main reason was Ray Lewis' retirement, arguably the most important player of this Ravens franchise, and Ozzie already knew there would be chemistry issues without their team's pivot. Only Flacco and Suggs stuck around, while other notable players like Ed Reed and Anquan Boldin moved on to other teams. The Ravens were not "bowling shoe ugly" bad, but it is hard to compete with the Killer Bs Steelers or the Andy Dalton - AJ Green connection in their primes. Plus, while the Ravens have been known to draft well, some notable mistakes also contributed to guys like Matt Judon and CJ Mosley leaving in free agency cause the team is not competitive enough. At the very least, Ozzie left the team with something special before he retired, cause the very last player he ever drafted in the first round was a QB named Lamar Jackson. You know how that worked out.
Not getting Josh Allen will always be what if
As a Broncos fan I feel like I just visited a therapist and had to relive some trauma. A lot of the moves were roll of the dice gambles that didn’t pan out well. The Russell Wilson trade is unforgivable though, makes me sick thinking back on how many players and picks we gave up for him, ughhh.
