Craig Morton was the first great quarterback in Broncos history, and there’s simply no way he can be left off this list.
After spending a decade in Dallas, Morton came to Denver in 1977 and gave the Broncos their first AFC West championship, their first playoff birth and their first Super Bowl appearance.
Floyd Little is often, and rightfully, credited with saving the franchise, but it was Morton who helped turn the Denver Broncos into one of the most well-respected organizations in sports.
From that point forward, the Broncos would go on to have 22 playoff appearances in the next 38 years.
