Dear John Elway...

So, I know it's been a while since I've updated. Not really much to talk about in the world of football until the season. Until earlier this month when Peyton Manning was released by the Colts. That was one of the biggest WTF? moments of the year.

Until today.

This is my open letter to Denver Broncos Executive Vice President of Football Operations, John Elway, who proved himself to have his head so far up his own ass and being a compete idiot.



Dear John Elway:

You, sir, are an ass and an idiot. Who are you looking to replace Peyton Manning when he gets hurt? As much as most people, I adore Peyton Manning. I think he made a good choice going to Denver, but you? You proved in this whole thing what an asshole you are.

Your stats do not stand alone enough for you to be in the Hall of Fame; Manning's do. You have fallen victim to your own hype. You said this past season that you were looking forward to working with Tim Tebow, to make him a 'traditional' NFL QB. Like you? Or, rather, like you weren't?

With each passing football generation, the tradition changes. There was a time when you, at 6'3", would have been considered a giant among QBs, and you pretty much were when you played. Now, it's typical. So, that's tradition? There hasn't been a true traditional QB since Sid Luckman retired from the game in 1950.

You, yourself, weren't even a 'traditional' NFL QB. While you were a good QB, you were far from 'traditional'.

I know that Tim Tebow has some issues to work out. You, of anyone, should understand that. You had issues to work out and you did. Working out those kinks allowed you to win back to back Super Bowls and led you to a Hall of Fame spot.

You acquired Peyton Manning, a guy we all know who has a future as a QB coach. Good move. But, bad move.

In acquiring the Hall of Famer, you let your future go.

Tim Tebow may be full of flaws, but why not allow him to learn under one of the greatest QBs of our time? Peyton has one, maybe two, good years left. Tebow has another 10. Manning could have been the 'Kurt Warner' to Timmy.

And, if you were unsure of Tebow as a QB, why not put in him as an H-Back, since that's how he plays? That way WHEN Peyton gets hurt, you have a young man that can fill in. It's the best of both worlds.

You're confident that Manning will bring you a championship. I love Manning and think that he's a very capable QB, but how many Super Bowl rings does he have? He only has one. If you wanted a proven QB that can win Super Bowls, why not ask Terry Bradshaw to come out of retirement? He's a proven winner, where Manning only has one championship.

Why not ask Joe Montana to come out of retirement? He's got 4 rings. Proven winner. If that's what you're looking for...But, Manning's not it. He's a great QB, to be sure, but he's not the proven Super Bowl winner you think he is.

You gave up Denver's future for a man that you can maybe get one good season out of.

I will laugh this season as everything you wanted falls apart. If things go as you hope, I will be the first to congratulate you, but honestly? I don't see that happening. Manning is only at 8o or 90% and that 10/2o% can make a difference.

John Elway - you proved yourself to be an ass, an idiot, and incapable of making such a decision.

And, there goes all respect I ever held for you.
