I would too. John Elway is the Broncos.  I already watched the Broncos during those miserable 60s and 70s before Elway came in 83. Ever since this has been a completely different franchise.  It used to be the joke of the AFC West now it is one of the best franchises in the entire league. 

Most of these people who say they are fine with Elway leaving don't really know what they are saying. This team would go straight in the toilet. Most of the teams stars, once their contracts were up would leave immediately.  Why stay with Denver without John Elway. He gives stars confidence that the franchise will always be competitive. But once he leaves, it will be like the 20 some odd years without a winning season before Elway.
