Report:
For a team that went 3-13 last year and doesn't seem to be going anywhere this season there is a lot of quarterback controversy. QB's Kyle Orton and Tim Tebow are the players batting for the starting position. Its looks like Kyle Orton will be starter after passing for 3,653 yards and 20 TD's a season ago. But, most of the fans and country wants to see "Tebow Time." If Tebow Time does happen, get ready to see some terrible quarterback play. Kyle Orton is the more talented quarterback and should prove that by starting. Running back is also a mess for the Broncos. RB Knowshon Moreno can't seem to stay healthy, and Denver doesn't know if he can handle all the carries. In sight of this, they signed washed-up RB Willis McGahee. Blocking for the Broncos is all right, especially on the left side where they have T Ryan Clady and G Zane Beadles. The other positions are more questionable, particularly after Ryan Harris left for the Eagles. At wide receiver Denver has WR Brandon Lloyd who had a career year last year and WR Eddie Royal who is looking to bounce back after a sophomore slump. They are keying on first round pick WR Demaryius Thomas to show his potential and breakout. Most of the TE's are out and have been replaced by new ones. In come Daniel Fells and Dante Rosario to give the quarterback more reliable targets.
Their pass rush is going to be better than last year's. DE Elvis Dumervil is back from injury and is ready to be a force to be reckoned with. The Broncos also added DL's Ty Warren and Derrick Harvey in free agency and drafted the athletic beast that is Von Miller. It is still yet to be known whether Von Miller will play down in a stance or up as a linebacker. LB D.J. Williams had another great and LB Mario Haggan was a good complementary player next to him. CB Champ Bailey is back to run this secondary and opposite to him is Perrish Cox and Nate Jones. At safety, veteran Brian Dawkins should have a good year again, but at the other safety raises questions. Renaldo Hill is gone and drafted is S Rahim Moore out of UCLA. Moore and David Bruton are going to be competing for the starting spot all year.
Most of the special team players for Denver are below average. K Steve Hauschka and P Britton Colquitt are relative unknowns. At kick returner Eddie Royal and Perrish Cox are quick and elusive which are perfect for that position.
Review:
There a lot of holes in the offense and defense for this to compete, to top it off they have a new coach and a quarterback controversy. Whoever does start doesn't have any big names or big talents to pass to. All this team and fans have to look forward to is Von Miller who is going to be a beast in the NFL. I don't see this seam going anywhere this season and possibly have the worst record in the NFL.
Division Finish: TBA
