2. Competent, creative play-calling
Unimaginative. Predictable. Boring.
Those are all words that could be used to describe the play calling of the Denver Broncos’ offense since Peyton Manning left, and even for stretches while he was still calling the shots.
The Broncos’ ineptitude at quarterback is likely a major reason for this, but how effective can you expect an offense to be when the defense knows what you’re going to do?
When fans are calling out the Broncos’ offensive play-calling tendencies on Twitter and while watching the games on TV, you know it’s bad.
With that said, fans have to be optimistic about what Bill Musgrave is bringing to the table as a play-caller after he helped the Oakland Raiders put together a phenomenal year of offensive production in 2016.
Musgrave was able to utilize the talent at his disposal and help Derek Carr to the best season (what some argued an MVP-caliber season) to date.
With all of the pieces in place for Denver this year, there’s no excuse for Musgrave putting together predictable, unimaginative, or boring offensive gameplans.
