To have a GM who was a superstar QB... it's amazing that for the past 3 years, the offense has been in 'don't mess it up' mode, including Peytons last season.   How can that POSSIBLY be?  

The Bronco's have become... the Ravens, satisfied with performance on one side of the ball and calling it good.  

Hope is a lousy strategy.   Better to have an above average QB to run the offense.   Fact is, that's not even on the horizon.   There is no upside at QB right now.
