Ever since Vic Fangio arrived in Denver as the 17th head coach in Broncos' history, he's been critical of Von Miller. Not in a scathing way and never in an unfair way. 

Fangio is known for his frankness and sometimes being blunt as a communicator can rub people the wrong way. The question is, has Fangio's unique approach rubbed Miller that way? 

It's a fair question and one that I know a lot of fans have worried over. After all, it's not like Von Miller has been lighting it up for the Broncos this year.

Von has inexplicably been held without a sack in four out of the five games the Broncos have played this year. Something has gotten to the former Super Bowl 50 MVP and whatever it is, it's incumbent upon Vic Fangio to get to the bottom of it. 

In his weekly appearance on KOA's Logan and Lewis show, GM John Elway weighed in on the way Fangio has publicly criticized Miller since arriving in the Mile High City. 

Check out the video above, where I lay out the Elway quote and drill down to the bottom line; is Fangio out of line? Or is this a case of a coach playing part-time psychologist, a la Bill Parcells, in an effort to maximize the rare talent that is Von Miller? 

Are you concerned about the way Fangio has talked about Miller in the press? I want to know. Sound off in the comment section below.
