I'd be pretty surprised if he started a game due to Keenum's performance, but anything is possible I guess.
    I wasn't taking Keenum injury into account with this poll.

    I was thinking that we don't really know whether this team is coming together, the offensive line will be better, the running game will be fixed, the WRs other than Sanders & DT will make an impact, the TEs will actually catch passes - or not.

    And defensively, will Wade's departure continue to hurt the team? Will Joe Woods develop into an adequate DC? Will the loss of Talib doom their chances of being a dominant secondary? Is there any real CB talent on the roster behind Harris and Roby?

    Will Bradley Chubb have an impact season? Will the pass rush be improved to where teams can't just triple-team Von Miller?

    And will Vance Joseph manage to become a good coach in his second year?

    Lots of questions, few answers. That's why I rate the chances of a melt-down as a coin toss.

    And if it's a coin toss, then there's a 50% chance Kelly will see the field just because they have to make a decision whether to go back to the draft in 2019 and use a high #1 draft pick on a QB - or not. The "not" portion of that equation means Kelly has shown enough that they don't feel the need of another developmental QB.

    I sure hope that Keenum has another great year, but realistically there is a significant chance he won't. Most outside observers take it for granted that Keenum is just a backup QB who had a good year with a good team and will instantly return to mediocre at best for a pretty bad Broncos team.

    That is the national perception about the Broncos. Also-rans in the division.

    Maybe say 'Odds that Kelly unseats Keenum this season?' instead of the long ass thing you wrote?

    Odds of that are about zero this year. Kelly will play if Keenum is injured.

    100%. Keenum will lose the first 5 games and the newly appointed/interim headcoach will cave to pressure and play swag.

    Also, I'm wrong about 99% of the time.

    I went with 25% because I figure that about the odds of a QB missing at least 1 game due to concussion protocol.

    It's not out of the question that Chad Kelly could replace Keenum as the Broncos' starting quarterback at some point this year. Kelly was tremendous once again. He entered the game ahead of Paxton Lynch in the middle of the second quarter. His first real throw was a touchdown to Sutton, a 16-yard dart that was on the money down the seam. On the next possession, Kelly had a nice completion after bootlegging left. The receiver, upon review, didn't get both feet inbounds, but a better player would have been able to do so. Kelly shook it off by hitting Tim Patrick with a great touch pass for 27 yards.

    Kelly's next drive featured a pass where he fit a ball into a tight window on a slant to Brian Parker. He then showed good arm strength on a throw outside the numbers where only his receiver could catch it. Kelly made a rare mistake after that, barely missing Patrick on a fade deep down the sideline.

    Kelly finished 7-of-9 for 90 yards and a touchdown. He's been a great surprise for the Broncos, and if he keeps this up, the fans will be calling for him to start if Keenum struggles.

    I just don't see it with Elway, VJ, and VJs interim replacement. Elway won't blow it up. Keenum would have to be ... Like he was 6/7 years.

    That cpt picard gif is 10/10.

    The only way Chad starts is if case goes down and Bridgewater goes down.

    The wideouts other than Thomas and Sanders will have an impact? What?

    I was wondering if there was a joke in there I wasn't getting. As is usually the case.

    Only if keenum gets hurt and he balls out next to games. He has zero NFL season exp. He is last ditch effort to see field with a couple months of playbook time and 2 games in 1.5 years
