Mike Shanahan, who has been with the team since 1995, has put up a 121-67 record in 11 years as head coach of the Denver Broncos. Jake Plummer is the team’s quarterback until Jay Cutler will be reasy to step up. No matter who it is, they will always live in the shadow of Hall of Fame Quarterback John Elway. Elway won back-to-back championships to finish his career with the Broncos and that was also the last time the team has made it into a Super Bowl, back in 1998. He had one of the more storied careers of any quarterback to ever be in the league. He led the Broncos in come from behind victories like no one else in the league ever has. That’s why all quarterbacks in Denver will be measured against Elway to see exactly how great they are.
Shanahan is known around the NFL, and fantasy football leagues alike, for having a system that can feature more than one running back at a time. It seems that no matter whom they throw in that backfield, they will rush for over 1,000 yards and will help the Broncos get to the playoffs year in and year out.
The other staple of Shanahan coached teams are the tough defenses. Opposing offenses always seem to have trouble when the Broncos start pinning their ears back and coming after the quarterback. Especially in the altitude of Denver; offenses have trouble catching their breath and staying with the fleet-footed Broncos.
