Von Miller's mother goes off on John Elway after Elway says "Von can play better"

The inciting incident came from a Broncos website which included a partial quote with a teaser reading: Elway talks possible Von Miller trade, "Broncos GM not ruling out dealing Von Miller — 'I think Von can play better...we have to look at all the possibilities.'"

This did not go over well with Miller's mother, who took to Instagram to express her displeasure with the idea of a trade and even went into a critique of Elway's time as the team's general manager.

"Not because he's my Son but, he's the main reason Denver won the Super Bowl," she wrote. "Von's NOT the problem the problem is Elway... EVERY QB he's brought in was a fluke!! He want's to halfa— pay the vets but wants them to perform at a high caliber. He has no clue on drafting at any position. He needs to work on a offensive line & QB. Trading Von isn't the answer but best of luck with that. Elway has wasted more money on QB's than ANY TEAM IN THE NFL. I get it's easier to blame Von but it's NOT HIM. #WhatupDallas #SendJerryJobysNumber."

The original quote from Elway that sparked the Miller's comments has since been deleted.

"I think we’re going to visit all that. I think we have to look all the possibilities and get an evaluation of that. One thing that has to happen is we have to play better. Our great players have to play better, too. Again, when we’re going around and trying to assess blame — which we don’t, we’re trying to find solutions not assess blame. We’re trying to evaluate what went on and then find solutions. One of the solutions is that we’re going to need our core guys to play better. Von, he had a good year this year. Can Von play better? Yeah, I think Von can play better. That’s part of the new thing when that comes in with the next coach."
