Quarterback controversies can swallow teams. They turn locker rooms into partisan politics. After the Broncos' victory over the San Diego Chargers on Sunday that clinched the AFC's top playoff seed, a reporter began conducting a straw poll on who should start at quarterback for the Broncos, which irritated players.
The NFL offers the sympathy of a parking ticket. It is a cold, calculating business, where playoff berths are celebrated with T-shirts and caps and losses can result in unemployment.
After the Broncos' disappointing postseason exit a year ago, general manager John Elway wanted a leader who could foster a kicking and screaming mentality among the players. Coach Gary Kubiak guided the Broncos to 12 wins, tying Red Miller's 1977 franchise record for a first-year coach, including three victories after trailing by 14 points.
