1. Quarterback
Well, duh.
In the end, everything comes down to the quarterback, and the Broncos may have the most interesting quarterback situation in the NFL.
It’s not often that the Super Bowl champion loses their starting quarterback and his heir apparent in the span of a week, but that’s the hand the Broncos were dealt, and, whether you like it or not, they turned it into Mark Sanchez and Paxton Lynch — oh, and Trevor Siemian.
And while there’s more clarity today than there was a week ago at this time, there’s still a lot to figure out. Mainly, who’s going to start at quarterback?
The easy answer is Sanchez, but the fun answer is Lynch, and the contrarian answer is Siemian. The right answer is that it’ll be the best, most-prepared quarterback on the roster, and while Sanchez is the heavy favorite, he’s definitely not a lock.
The only thing I can say for certain is that it will be exciting.
