To be fair, Denver is probably trying to do everything they can not to lose their job next year.
Then he's going about it all the wrong ways. If you want to win both this year and next year, you shed as much cap and as many veterans as possible and rebuild through the draft. You bet on your rookies and cheap vets that you pick up via trades and FA to carry you 5 games while gaining the experience they need to win long term. Denver's real problems haven't just been one of roster, but how to use the players.
In year 1, Denver had arguably the best QB in the league and one of the better WR1. The QB threw for only 3490 with a 12:13 TD:INT ratio while the team leaned heavily on two RBs that had no business carrying the ball the number of times that they did. Same with year 2.
Without looking too deeply into it, I can tell that Denver's two main problems have been this:
1) Using the recommended or default game plans on offense and defense.
2) Using the recommended or default player weights to do player analysis.
Doing one of those things will put you at the bottom of our division, and doing both is going to put you at the bottom of this league because of the number of veteran owners with well developed game plans.
