The Broncos are in year number hell of blaming the quarterback and not really addressing any of the other elephants in the room. Through the last two seasons Russ has shown that he certainly isn't the answer, but cutting Russ doesn't really fix anything either. Welcome to hell.

The defense started the vseason an utter abomination and managed to improve to ordinary bad, and I guess we're all just going to go ahead and call that a success story.

Courtland Sutton is maybe the best in the league at making circus catches downfield. But, he doesn't get open enough, and drops too many balls to to be a true #1. We've had 4 years of Jeudy disappointing all season long, only to flash late and the season, and convince some suckers that maybe he'll carry it over to next year and really break out. Greg Dulcich is the latest to carry on the fine tradition of Broncos tight ends who are never healthy enough to expose how overrated they are. The running game might be serviceable, but let's be real here, nobody's going to try to lean on the running game to win football games. I mean sure they'll talk about how they have to do a better job having a balanced attack, but we all know washed up veteran is going to have 42 attempts next week.

I think my big trepidations with bringing in Sean Payton as a coach were that I wasn't sure why he quit on the first place, and why he wanted to come back now. The Broncos really don't have a lot of assets in the first place and trading one to get a coach seemed pretty foolish to me. And, finally while I think Payton is a good coach, most Super Bowl winning coach's next stop doesn't turn out too well, and there was an awful lot of 7-9 bullshit during his tenure in New Orleans. I wouldn't exactly say my fears were allayed by this season. The thing that Payton seems most excited about is running GM George Paton's prize acquisitions from last off-season out of town.

Coaches have the same weird fascination with backup quarterbacks that fans do. It's just dumber with coaches because they can see the backup sucks on a daily basis, but still convince themselves he can be good.
