Should Pat Bowlen be in the Hall of Fame? "Absolutely," Elway said. "I'd like his [bust] to be right next to mine."

DeMarcus Ware, on Bowlen: "(He) always had the mentality that it's not about me -- it's about the coaches, players & doing the right thing."

Sad to hear of Pat Bowlen's battle with Alzheimer's. Awesome owner that cared about winning and treating his players with class and respect.

When the #Broncos win the Super Bowl, I expect @JohnElway to hoist the Lombardi Trophy up in the air and exclaim, "This one's for Pat!"

Pat Bowlen steps down as Broncos' owner due to Alzheimer's, per the Denver Post. Bowlen is one of best owners in all of sports.

In many ways, Pat Bowlen was the perfect owner. Smart. Ultra competitive. Did anything to win. Did anything to avoid the spotlight.

— Vic Lombardi (@VicLombardi) July 23, 2014

Denver has been lucky to have Mr. Bowlen. So many players you talk to speak of their love for him. He set the tone for what this has become.
