Each NFL team’s record prediction for the 2019 season

Denver Broncos: 6-10

With all due respect to the Denver Broncos since the team deserves some credit for realizing Case Keenum was far from the answer, do they really think the offense will be any different with Joe Flacco under center?

Drafting Drew Lock will hopefully pay off for the Broncos in the long run when looking at all the quarterback issues this team has dealt with since Peyton Manning decided to call it a career, but Flacco just doesn’t seem to be the right man for the job.

For a quarterback that has been part of the “elite” debate for most of his career, Denver’s offense doesn’t seem like it’s going to take the necessary step forward in 2019 to move back in the conversation of being a true contender in the AFC.

If this does end up being the case, Von Miller and the rest of the Broncos’ defense are only going to continue to feel the frustration of coming through on their end, only to watch the offense come up short.

Playing in the AFC West was already difficult after the Kansas City Chiefs and the Los Angeles Chargers earned a trip to the playoffs last season. The Oakland Raiders made things a little more interesting with all of their offseason additions, led by acquiring Antonio Brown.

In other words, the Broncos could end up being in for another year of disappointment that consists of them finishing on the bottom of the AFC West. It’s tough to picture this team improving until it solves its quarterback issues.
