There are a lot of ways to measure success, and we all know that championships are what teams shoot for, with the Denver Broncos always setting that up as the ultimate goal.

But when you look at a team’s record from the perspective not of one season, nor even one decade, but of a generation or even two, there are a lot of ways to measure success.

Looking at the reverse image, like staring at a reflection given by a mirror within a mirror view, the Broncos have not only done a lot of winning, but our franchise has done less losing than almost any other team.

This is a blog about winning in reverse, but I think you might find a few fun facts here if you choose to read further.

Coaches and scouts for the 32 National Football League teams have now returned to their respective homes and headquarters following the conclusion of the 2013 combine.

The more than 800 credentialed media continue to talk on about the prospects, where they all will fall, which teams will make the biggest selections.

This is all very good for the NFL and its television partners, as well as for the cadre of media who report on all the doings of pro football, but it is most important that we never lose sight of the fact that the combine, and even the draft itself, are just part of the process of constructing a team.

In the case of our own team, the Denver Broncos, let us take a look at the current roster.

The Broncos finished 13-3 and won the AFC West before that horrific loss to Baltimore, but there was no question that Denver was one of the absolute best teams in the NFL when last we played.

Only the older generations of Denver Broncos fans can say they remember and watched Otis Armstrong play, but he was a superior NFL running back for eight years in Denver.

Next Tuesday night Otis will be inducted into the National Football Foundation College Football Hall of Fame at a dinner at New York’s Waldorf-Astoria Hotel.

The connection to the dinner does not end with Otis, as the Chairman of the NFF is Archie Manning, father of Broncos quarterback Peyton Manning.
