Second, the Broncos took a huge step back at the most important position on the field, if Orton ever get's it done it will be because Doogie is the DemiGod that he and everybody else thinks he is.......and we've already covered that. Regardless of the BS that the Broncos and The Mile High Report want to sell you, the Broncos took one ginormous step back with the Cutler trade, Kyle Orton is not better suited for anything but a shave.
Third, obviously Nolan is a huge upgrade over Slowik, but that's saying next to nothing, Slowik was thoroughly pathetic in every conceivable way and the worst thing to ever happen to this team from a competitive standpoint, Nolan would have to be catatonic or Brain-dead 16 weeks out of the season to not improve over Slowik.......having said that, Nolan's defenses in SF were far from great most of the time and pretty much sucked at other times! And so far, his personnel decisions, to the extent he's been involved in acquiring talent, have been thoroughly underwhelming.
Fourth, 64% of Denver's starting offense has less than 4 years of NFL experience, this showed noticeably last season when 3/4's of the starting offense had less than 3 years of NFL experience, and with the installation of the most complex offensive scheme known to man, that inexperience doesn't help much.
Fifth, let's be honest, the talent level on defense is still as bad as any team in the NFL and the ST's again figures to feature a lot of young/inexperienced players and will be coached by a guy who has a whopping 3 seasons as a ST's coordinator.
Add to that a brutal schedule and a possible suspension of Denver's most explosive offensive weapon and you can see why Denver isn't getting a lot of respect.......to be honest, the only ones buying what the Broncos are shoveling is you, the Denver Broncos fan, just like you always do (No offense).
Doogie may turn out to the be the Second Coming of Bill Belicheat, but so far, he has given objective NFL observers zero reason to take that leap of faith.......
