When the news we hear is true, the Broncos know memory the name of the State could hardly passed in Colorado, where football is perfect: John Elway, slam-dunk Hall of Fame and perhaps the best quarterback ever to man (I'm secretly in my case) play the game, accept the post of vice president of football operations with the team on Monday.
Created by the team in 1983, Elway led the Broncos to five Super Bowls, won the last two, when he finally better than average team around him before going to bed after the 1998 season.
Of course, issues such as Elway will avoid in the day to day, and what differentiates it from Matt Millen - a prominent ex-players (MDGs) was to have no idea what it takes to run the front office and collect the right kind of staff to lead the field. In short, the will probably hire a promotion by the need for Broncos fans think of the good times?"I will not go too far into this," Elway said Friday on a local radio program. "I hope we do anything (this week). We will all decline. This is a process that must be followed. If you understand, I do not want to say too much about it now. "
According to Mike Klis The Denver Post, Elway has his title - just given Mike Shanahan as a result of Shanahan and Elway won Super Bowls together in the late 1990s - and working every day in an office facility team. His work is not a lucky hand for advertisers and play in the Pro-Ams. But he can do what to do?
"This is something that has been his to-do list forever," said former teammate Karl Mecklenburg Klis. "It was not like the team and said:" We need your help we need to be a figurehead for you. "When it happened to Mr. Bowlen, Mr Bowlen made you he bore the whole scene (the league) thing. Bowlen John ran Crush, and there he learned the ropes the art. It was time. You need something. I know not whether a man in the front office necessarily the solution. But I think John will discover. "
Mecklenburg is a good point. Elway was the Colorado Crush Arena League team and the fact that he is the son of a coach - the son of the legendary Jack Elway - adds some credibility to the idea that all this ingenuity when it was surrounded by good people. competitiveness Elway has never been questioned, nor his intelligence. If he has to work with Alex, the needs of the modern NFL, understands and has a competent scouting ... well, everyone has to start somewhere.
"He has qualities of true leadership, mental toughness. I can tell you that," Xander said. "And it is on account. I think it's a great opportunity for him to watch the football operations all Denver Broncos, because he knows the expectations of fans and the organization. And he'll try to get there. "
It can not always successful transition, but the Broncos would not be the worst. Note that whenever Matt Millen, there is an Ozzie Newsome, the big tight end, run the Baltimore Ravens for years and made all staff and management. Who is to say that Elway was not the same jump?
