Denver Broncos: Firing John Elway is not the only way to hold him accountable

Since joining the Denver Broncos in a front office role in 2011, John Elway has helped build both a very successful roster and a roster that failed to reach the playoffs three seasons in a row.

Over the past three seasons (2016-18), the Broncos have won just 20 games, an unacceptable figure given the high expectations for the organization since Pat Bowlen took over as owner in 1984.

The three years prior to that (2013-15)? The Broncos reached the Super Bowl twice and won the division all three seasons, winning one championship.

In eight seasons under Elway’s leadership, the Broncos have five division titles, two AFC titles, and a 78-50 overall record.
