^^Point taken. But in all honesty the Broncos weren't likely going to win a superbowl any time soon so I guess that's why I don't see why everyone is so pissed about it. Maybe if I was a Denver fan then things would be different.

Mike Nolan worked miracles with that defense last season, man. Had Jay stayed in Denver, and the offense was anywhere near where it was in 2008, the Broncos were a playoff caliber team. No doubt about it.

I know Jay threw a hell of a lot of picks last season in Chicago, but he still put up 3,666 yds and 27 TD's. And we don't have WR's anywhere near as good as Marshall. I have to believe Jay would've thrown at least 30 TD's had he still been playing in Denver. A QB throwing for 30 TD's when his defense is ranked top 10 = playoff run 99% of the time...

Yea they're defense was pretty impressive last season but I dont think they have a championship calibur offense. I (like most people) don't know what McDaniels is planning to do with this offense but if they could get they're offense to play on the same level as the defense played on then I could see them standing a chance. Making it to the playoffs is great but it means nothing if you don't go home with a ring (Eagles lol).
