Denver Broncos 2016 Schedule Prediction

A game-by-game prediction of the Denver Broncos schedule in 2016…

With the draft officially in the books, and the Broncos selecting who, they hope to be, their franchise quarterback, there is finally some clarity on who is going to be the starting quarterback on September 8th.  No, it is not going to be super-rookie Paxton Lynch.  While he exudes natural physical gifts, and oozes potential, this kid is probably better served to sit on the bench and learn a year at the very least.  Lynch spent the majority of his college career in a no-huddle system, working exclusively out of the shotgun.  In Gary Kubiak’s system, Lynch will be asked to learn how to huddle up and call plays, play from under center, something that will take him some time to learn, and become comfortable enough to play quarterback in the NFL.

The draft pick had to have brought a smile to quarterback Mark Sanchez’s face, as he has been doing anything and everything he can to become the Broncos starter.  Mark has been spending hours and hours studying film, he invited his receivers to souther California to work out and gain chemistry, and even treated some of the offensive lineman to a Rockies game.  Sanchez knows that the drafting of Lynch meant the Broncos would no longer bring in someone that would have an immediate inside track to the starting job, i.e. Kaepernick, Fitzpatrick, Bradford.   Broncos fans should have realistic expectations for their prized rookie, and should fully expect that when the season opens up, it is Mark Sanchez who is running out of that tunnel.

With all this said, now I am in a much better position to give a game-by-game prediction of the Broncos 2016 schedule.  Lets dive in:
