Champ's been to the playoffs more than Portis? (maybe only because Champ's been in the league longer, but not in recent years)

Ok they have both been twice since the trade. The Broncos missed two years by one game while we had a 6-10 and 5-11 in the seasons that we missed. They also missed winning their division by one game last year.

Champ has been to an AFC Championship game. Us.... not so much.

And yet they had a worse record than us. I don't think missing winning the division in this case really says much.

Right. Put them in the NFC East and see how close they come to winning the division.

They won several more games since Champ was traded. And they have competed for their division title almost every year. We definitely cannot say that. We have no division titles and no conference championship games.

I bleed burgandy and gold but to state that we have done better than Denver in the last 5 years is just wishful thinking.

I certainly did not make that claim. And I have been a Broncos fan (2nd to the Skins by far) so I am glad they have had some success.

But to downplay the difference between the NFC East and AFC West is to deny the obvious. And Denver's success has been primarily on the offensive side of the ball, Champ doesn't really do to much WR work these days. Our success has been primarily on the defensive side, haven't seen CP line up at MLB recently either. I would go further and say that on both teams CP and Champ were both one of the brightest spot on their respective unit over the last few years

My bottom line on this, is both players have been solid additions to their team. The trade worked for both teams and I am looking forward to CP getting the rushing title this year!!!
