Super Bowl 50: Broncos With Key Tasks Ahead Of Them

In continuing my look at Super Bowl 50, I wanted to focus on the Broncos this time around.

My focus is going to be more about particular players, including obvious candidates and a few who might get overlooked in terms of the impact they could have on the game.

I’ll start with the offense and work my way to the defense, starting with the most obvious candidate for debate, given how he’s fared this season.

2016 Broncos Offseason Road Map

So we’re three days away from the Super Bowl, and no matter what happens, that will the conclusion of the Broncos’ outstanding 2015 season. For John Elway and the front office, there will be time to either celebrate or grieve, but that time will be limited. That’s because Elway will face what will easily be the most challenging offseason during his tenure as general manager. There is much that needs to be done, and it needs to be done in only a month’s time, as the start of the 2016 league year—and thus free agency—is on March 9.

So, because I may not get time to post this promptly after the Super Bowl, I’ll provide you with my 17-point road map as to how I would navigate the rocky offseason terrain that lies immediately ahead. Suffice to say, with 17 points it’s highly likely that not all of them will be fulfilled to my satisfaction, either to Elway wanting a different direction or players disagreeing on their value. But barring something truly extraordinary on Sunday I doubt the Super Bowl is going to change my mind much. Continue reading 2016 Broncos Offseason Road Map

Super Bowl 50: Examining The Panthers

Hello, Bronco fans! How cool is it that your favorite team gets to play in Super Bowl 50?

It’s been amazing to watch how the team has enjoyed so much success ever since John Elway took over team operations. The Broncos have found a way to excel, even with question marks looming around the team each seasons. One only needs to look at the Broncos the past five seasons to see how much adversity the team has gone through, yet it has still made the playoffs all five years and reached two Super Bowls.

Now, we know about the adversity the Broncos have gone through this season, but if we can weather Tebowmania, the uncertainty of Peyton Manning coming back from a neck injury, multiple injuries that forced the Broncos to start career backups at many positions in 2013, suspensions to key players who violated the league’s drug policies, and all the attention that got focused on Manning chasing passing records – and that’s just the start of the list – then we shouldn’t have problems dealing with some of the uncertainties that surround our favorite team in Super Bowl 50.

The Absurdity Of The Pro Bowl, In Three Starting Lineups

With all Broncos and Panthers focused on a far more important game, and a massive amount of original Pro Bowlers withdrawing (including, to no surprise, every single Patriot), take a look at the lineup you could field from just those players, and then compare it to those of the teams that were drafted from the remaining players.
