Denver Broncos: Gary Kubiak will get better play out of his quarterbacks

The Denver Broncos are the defending Super Bowl Champions, but will miss the playoffs entirely this season after a brutal late-December schedule that will likely see them finish 8-8.

Denver has leaned on its defense the last few seasons, but the Broncos just don’t have the offense to repeat as Super Bowl champions this year. Both the Oakland Raiders and the Kansas City Chiefs are better in the AFC West.

This will be the first time since Kyle Orton was the starting quarterback that Denver won’t win their division. In all likelihood, the Miami Dolphins are going to beat the Broncos to the No. 6 Wild Card spot.

However, the Broncos have reasons to be optimistic. The biggest is that head coach Gary Kubiak is a quarterback whisperer. That he has the Broncos in position to go, at worst, .500 with Trevor Siemian and Paxton Lynch as his starting quarterbacks is unbelievable in its own right. If either pops as a starter in 2017, look for the Broncos to push for a Super Bowl next season, as long as the defense remains elite.
