Hindsight is 20/20 they say. As Broncos fans try to recover from one of the the worst seasons in the history of the franchise, there is plenty of time to reflect. It’s easy to remember what used to be and wonder whether the changes of the last few years were necessary. Was it a mistake to fire Mike Shanahan in 2008? It seemed abrupt at the time but Shanahan’s magic had begun to disappear. Change is good. But it can also be a case of being careful what you wish for. The alternative could be worse. And clearly Josh McDaniels was. So we sit on the eve of the return of John Elway to a position in the franchise we have no idea he is competent to hold. But this much is sure. It can’t be any worse than what the last two seasons have wrought.
