I hear you... but not really... what was the glue that held it all together?

Eli Manning.  A level headed QB who understood how to use the tools at hand and did just that.

Eli is not an upper tier QB... not stellar... not even great.  He's frankly just decent, but gets the ball there when it needs to be, when it needs to be there, most of the time.  

That's what's so mind boggling... the Bronco's can't at least do that well with 3 years to plan.  

It's an org with terrible misjudgment of QB talent.  Brock... Trevor... Paxton hasn't shown any better aptitude.  

This isn't college where it's a victory when your QB makes 50% good decisions, as Vance seemed to tout as a positive.
