He actually gets 0.8 more wins over expected (average) coaching. But notice right above is another AFC West Coach that garners 0.9 wins over expected. So by using Knowmo’s logic, the Donks just hired someone who is -0.1 wins over expected coaching behind Andy Reid. So one extra win over the Donks every ten years! How will that happen? We already have fifteen in a row. I guess some time in the next ten years, after the streak has reached record proportions, we’ll have to meet them in the playoffs and validate that extra win over the course of a decade. Knowmo look! This chart somehow says you guys make the playoffs!!!:-) [Reply]

In all honesty, 3 months of being a Denver fan feels like a lifetime. [Reply]

Considering that this doesn't even account for the two picks that Denver is losing, and that basically every team below them on the list has a better roster (most far better), it's not hard to envision them beginning next season with one of the very worst rosters in the NFL.

General Pay A Ton everyone!
Yea absolutely hilarious that this from before the Payton trade too. [Reply]
According to statistics compiled by The Athletic, Payton's offenses ranked first overall in yards per game (392.4) and second in points (27.7) from 2006-21.

No. 2: Broncos' roster is underrated due to injuries
The league history books will lead the story of the 2022 Broncos with coach Nathaniel Hackett's bad decisions and Russell Wilson's struggles. But a more accurate picture also puts injuries in the first paragraph.
Back in 2018, the 49ers had one of the most injury-ravaged seasons in recent memory, and finished 4-12. The following season? Key players returned, they finished 13-3, and ultimately reached Super Bowl 54. The Broncos can follow a similar path. Payton wanted this job because he realizes Denver isn't a 5-12 roster. Any coach could get more out of this group, and an outstanding coach like Payton can lead a 49ers-like turnaround.
No. 3: Russell Wilson wasn't that bad
… By the end of the year, he was relegated to the 4 p.m. ET game window and actually snuck in some strong games. He cooked in the Broncos' two losses to the Chiefs, overtime loss against the Raiders, and Week 18 win over the Chargers.
Wilson's passer rating was over 100 in three of his last five games. He looked healthier and more in sync with his receivers, and that was with Hackett. Just imagine if that trend continues with Payton calling far superior plays.
