The mother of Denver Broncos linebacker Von Miller criticized general manager John Elway after he said the team needs its best players to perform better in 2019.

After Elway said in his end-of-year press conference that he believes Miller is capable of playing better, Miller's mother, Gloria, ripped into the general manager on Instagram.

"Not because he's my son, but he's the main reason Denver won the Super Bowl. Von's NOT the problem the problem is Elway... EVERY QB he's brought in was a fluke!!!," Gloria Miller wrote.

"He has no clue on drafting at any position. He needs to work on a offensive line and 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."

Miller was named to his seventh Pro Bowl and earned second-team All-Pro honors after recording 48 tackles, 14.5 sacks, four forced fumbles, and an interception in 16 games, but the Broncos missed the playoffs for the third consecutive season.
