But with that said, I am still pretty confident that Denver will still be finishing last place in the AFC West next year. The Chiefs will be better, the Chargers will be better, and of course the Raiders will be better next year. Peyton Manning is a great player, but given his age and his injury history, he alone can't carry a talentless team like the Broncos to the playoffs. The Broncos are by far the least talented team in the AFC West IMO.
You have no established receivers. You have a 30 year old RB who was only good last year BECAUSE of Tim Tebow. You have a vastly overrated offensive line. A solid defense at best that got exposed against teams with good QBs. I'm not trying to hate at all, those are just the facts. I'm sure some non biased Bronco fans out there will agree with me.
Given all those facts, I'm not really sure what PM was thinking signing with you guys. If Peyton Manning was serious about winning the Superbowl, he would've signed with the 9ers. To me, him signing with the Broncos just proves he is all about the money. I am dissapointed because I didn't think Peyton was that type of guy, but that's really the only reason I could think of him choosing Denver. The Broncos are so far away from winning the Superbowl it's not even funny.
So enjoy the hype. But mark my words, the Broncos are still a last place team. Remember where you heard it first.
I marked them when you said that last year too. I shall do the same again this year.
Just curious, how do the raiders plan to improve...Did you not cut practically your entire team. In addition to that, you have no first round picks to try and improve and if that was not enough, which FA exactly have you signed that will improve your team?
As far as I see it, you had a talented defense, a top 3 RB, and a good QB with nothing but speed and hopes everywhere else. HOwever, you guys have cut most of your good players and now it looks more like.
palmer, rundmc, dline with potential, nothing elswhere?
PS- Stanford Routte says hi
The Plan at the moment:
Draft: Trade a 3rd and 6th this year to a team to move up and get a 2nd next year (this will happen).
Players I want:
Jake Ferguson (Jake Butt) or Jelani Woods or Jeremy Ruckert or Cade Otten (owen daniels) at TE- All 4th rd or later.
Troy Anderson LB 3rd/4th rd (yay Timmy!)
Neil Farrell, JR DL- run stuffer- bye purcell
