You Broncos fans arrogance is unbelievable. Your defense might've won it for you, but every one of those guys had in impact in a season where you were one loss away from losing the division and the Super Bowl.
Since you added on after I quoted you: It's not arrogance. It's knowledge. Sure, the waterboy had an impact on the season as well, but it would be really stupid to pay him three times as much just to keep him. I can tell from the list of names that you threw up that you don't understand our roster. [Reply]

We just won the Super Bowl, it's not like we had a lot of holes to begin with.
Our biggest weakness last year was OL and QB play. We're getting our top two tackles back from injury and Elway is in the process of getting a QB. [Reply]

I do understand your roster and I know your arguments.
For example, Ryan Harris. Sure, you got Clady coming back, but for the same reason I didn't mention Gaines when talking about the loss of Smith, you can't count on Clady coming back and staying healthy for 16 games.
That's where the depth issues come in.
Today's NFL is all about depth and surviving the long season in time to get healthy/hot at the end. That's going to be much tougher to do when you have depth issues all over your roster due to all that turnover. [Reply]

No, actually, we may or may not have Clady coming back. They are working with him on a restructure and haven't settled it yet. There is still a strong possibility that he is cut. [Reply]

Even if the Chiefs are the same team they were last year, they are better than Denver by a long shot.
Denver lost their 2nd best defensive player, RB, Your OL is still a giant mess with question marks all over the place and you don't have a QB.
Oh, and spare us with the QB crap. Nobody is scared of Fitzpatrick or a QB that got benched in favor of Blaine Gabbert :-).
Denver's only option this year is to trade a ton of their future for one of the top 3 QB's. [Reply]

It's not as bad as it seems. We are returning 9 of 11 starters on an all time great defense. Malik was probably or 4th or 5th most important player on that D.
And the offense wasn't good to begin with. As of today our OL is pretty much set as far as the starters go...
No rush. Denver still hasn't made a decision at QB. Don't expect them to make a move until they have to.
EDIT: The reason Ware restructured today was because he had a $3M bonus due on Monday. Denver can wait to make a decision as long as they want with Clady. [Reply]
