Many Broncos watcher were stunned that Elway jumped up and grabbed Vance Joseph to replace Gary Kubiak as Head Coach even though the Dolphins defense he was coaching was stinking up the joint despite having Ndonkeykong Suh and others. Elway defended his decision by claiming Joseph was a "leader of men". Broncos supporters have used that "leader of men" comment as a punchline ever since.
So, if somebody grabs Vrabel and defends him as a "leader of men", watch out.
