With the Broncos’ 60th season coming up, here are the top quarterbacks to play in Denver.

The Denver Broncos are set to begin their 60th season of play when the NFL season kicks off for them on September 14th. Crazy that the Broncos have been playing football for 60 years. This means there have been a collection of players who have suited up for the orange and blue over the years.

There is no question that one of the biggest positions in the NFL today is the quarterback. If a team does not have a solid quarterback under center, the team could run into some serious problems. Of course, Broncos Country has been dealing with that over the past few years.

However, there is hope with Drew Lock under center. Will his second season be a chance to see growth? We are all hoping for that to happen.

There have been plenty of quarterbacks to play for the Denver Broncos. Some have been successful while others have crashed and burned. But the question is who are some of the best quarterbacks in franchise history? I take a look at those players here.
