The Denver Broncos quarterback position is vastly improved from the 2018 unit. We take a look at each player and what they bring to the table.
Over the course of the month of June and into July, we’re going to be taking a look at the Denver Broncos’ roster and what each player brings to the table.
The quarterback position is one that has seen substantial improvement on paper from last offseason (Case Keenum, Paxton Lynch, Chad Kelly) to this offseason (Joe Flacco, Kevin Hogan, Drew Lock, Brett Rypien).
The Broncos cleaned house and rightly so after Case Keenum started all 16 games and only managed to throw just 18 touchdown passes (three in week one) and 15 interceptions.
After the Minneapolis Miracle, that wasn’t exactly what Broncos fans had hoped for.
Chad Kelly was cut after a Halloween party ended with him in someone’s home uninvited, and he was chased out with a vacuum tube.
Paxton Lynch, a first-round pick in the 2016 NFL Draft, didn’t even make the team out of camp and is barely clinging onto his NFL life out in Seattle right now.
All three of those players are gone, and the Broncos have three brand new players with Hogan getting re-signed after joining the team as a backup early in the 2018 season.
The excitement has understandably returned to the Mile High City despite Joe Flacco’s lack of ‘elite’ play in recent years.
Still, Flacco brings an awesome playoff resume to Denver, including an upset win in the 2012 playoffs which shall not be remembered any further, and the aura of being a Super Bowl MVP.
Lock gives the Broncos their best young prospect in the John Elway era.
Let’s take a look at each player at the QB position for the Broncos, and what we can expect from them.
