“Believe me, I’m not done swinging and missing. Misses don’t bother me. We’ve just got to figure out a way to get it right.”
Those were the words of John Elway in February 2018 at the NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, and he’s certainly been a man of his word.
Two weeks after making that statement, Elway went out and signed Minneapolis Miracle Maker Case Keenum to a two-year, $36 million contract. Nine months later, Elway addressed the media at his end-of-season press conference following a dismal season from Keenum and the Broncos and basically threw his hands in the air, saying he was going to go out and ‘shake some trees’ to see if a quarterback would fall out.
