Key Questions

There are quite a few questions surrounding the Broncos heading into this next season. First and foremost is whether Flacco actually has anything left in the tank. He was elite at one point, but does he have enough to upset the reigning MVP or Philip Rivers and the Chargers?

Additionally, will Emmanuel Sanders come back from the torn Achilles at full strength? How will the coaching staff look now that Vic Fangio has taken over? What will the Broncos defense look like with the return of Von Miller and a full year under Bradley Chubb‘s belt?

I don’t anticipate that the Broncos will be very good this season. I don’t have faith in John Elway’s ability to scout talent, especially at the quarterback position. IThe Broncos are stuck in a perpetual cycle of mediocrity due to their offensive moves, which means they won’t be vying for the AFC West crown. Given they face one of the toughest schedules in the NFL, another frustrating year is likely.
