All We need is....Patience

I've let nearly a year go by since I posted anything in here, but now, more then ever I have to get a few things off my chest about what's happening with the Denver Broncos.  Now I have been a Bronco fan since the early 90's, I'm 24, and I have witnessed the highest of the highs with two Superbowl's and now, this season, I am witnessing the lowest point since my Bronco fandom if that's a word.

I refuse to go to a game the rest of the year, but let me make it clear; it's not because of a losing season, it's because I don't want to hear the "fire McDaniel's" chants. A long chant, I know, but I'm sure some fans could spin that into a catchy tune. I know things are tough right now, but with 32 teams in the NFL isn't it fair to say Denver is bound to have a bad season now and again?  I mean, are we turning into the Oakland Raiders now, when as soon as things get tough we fire everyone and start over?  That's the trend that the Raiders followed and look at their franchise since their Superbowl nearly ten years ago.  Gruden, Callahan, Turner, Shell, Kiffen and now Cable.  Gruden went right on to win a Superbowl with Tampa and Turner coaches the hottest team in the NFL in San Diego.  I know we are nowhere near the revolving door Al Davis's Oakland Raiders are yet but if we only give a coach two years to build a team and bring in a new system then we give another new coach another two years to build another system then another and another, we continue on a losing cycle.  I hear talk of bringing in Gruden or Cowher but didn't they struggle early on a bit? 

Ok, before everyone calls me insane, hear me out;  I am not saying I am satisfied with McDaniel's so far in his first two seasons as a head coach.  In fact, if we are in a similar situation next year I will join the mob and cry for his firing.  I'm just saying the NFL teams with patience are usually the ones who begin to build and move in the right direction.  I say give a guy three years to build his system, let his draft picks grow a bit.  Yes, he has let go of some big names, Peyton Hillis is the main one that comes to mind, but don't they all do a few things like that? Norv Turner let go of Drew Brees and he won the Superbowl shortly after now he has his own all pro quarterback.  SPygate II sucked, no doubt about it.  That added a bit more to the humiliation of this season but we all know that there was nothing on that tape of the 49ers that would have benefited anyone.  They have a very simple offense; run and pass:)  So can we give him one more year before we throw the paper bags on our face, burn our bronco memorabilia and  jump ship to Washington with Shanny?  One more year and I'll join the rants but give the guy a chance, give the guy some patience.
