A word of advice—don’t ever @ John Elway.
Elway looks like a genius right now because after scoffing at Brock Osweiler and getting off to a 3-0 start with Trevor Siemian, few can argue he made a wrong decision or two after Peyton Manning left.
He wants the world to know it, too.
Just peep Elway calling out a fan who at the time wasn’t a fan of the Siemian pick:
Hang on. Did John Elway really just @ this dude who questioned him a year and a half ago? Hahahaha pic.twitter.com/Q6ab2XO4C2

It looks like Elway deleted the jab, but the Twitter user himself took the high road:
@johnelway @Broncos I stand corrected never should have doubted #GoBroncos

Call it a lesson 17 months in the making—let Elway’s plan play out.
Shame Elway deleted the interaction, though. Just another day in the wild marriage between sports and social media.
