Where have the Denver Broncos finally found long-term answers after years of searching?

The Denver Broncos appear to be set at some positions that have been major issues, some even since before the team’s Super Bowl 50 victory over the Carolina Panthers.

Following the retirement of Peyton Manning after the 2015 Super Bowl, the Broncos have struggled to find a long-term answer at the quarterback position.

They have gone through players such as former first-round draft bust Paxton Lynch, Trevor Siemian, Brock Osweiler (though drafted the same year as Peyton joined the team, Osweiler played some games after Manning’s retirement), Case Keenum, Joe Flacco, Drew Lock, and Teddy Bridgewater.

Let’s not forget to mention Brandon Allen, Brett Rypien, Jeff Driskel, and the Hall of Famer Kendall Hinton. Okay, the last part was a joke, obviously.

The point is, the Broncos have gone through a lot of quarterbacks during this period. The quarterback position, however, is goin to be omitted from this list because the team has not found a long-term solution.

The Broncos have failed to earn a 10+ win season since Manning and have not come close over the last four years.

For now, let’s talk about some success stories and get on with the list.
