ENGLEWOOD, Colo. -- The Denver Broncos' search for a quarterback in the post-Peyton Manning era has been a costly affair.
Costly in a record that has leaned decidedly toward a growing pile of losses, costly in the erosion of any sort patience among the team’s faithful and costly to the head coach.
Sunday morning Vic Fangio became the second Broncos coach fired in the last four years because the offense was too stubborn, too tepid and too big a problem. The Broncos lost four of their last five games, scoring 13 or fewer points in four of those losses to go from the wild-card hunt to out of the playoffs for the sixth consecutive season.
