The Denver Broncos’ quarterback for the 2022 season is not likely on the roster in 2021. Who could save the team in 2022?

The Denver Broncos’ latest loss to the Las Vegas Raiders has everyone in Broncos Country fed up. At 7-8, the team is basically out of playoff contention and the frustrating part is it all feels like it could have been prevented.

In fact, it feels like the Denver Broncos should be one of the best teams in the NFL, but the team needs a quarterback.

Now, the issues facing general manager George Paton and this Denver Broncos team likely run a bit deeper than that, but if nothing else changed besides the team getting a game-changing quarterback, we may still complain about the coaching but it would probably be minimal.

Put a player like Aaron Rodgers in orange and blue, and this roster as it currently stands would likely get you the best regular season record in the NFL and a shot at a Super Bowl.

So, in the 2022 offseason, that will need to be priority number one for Paton and whoever is the team’s head coach, and obviously that is currently to be determined. It could still be Vic Fangio, but the rumor before the 2021 season was that this season was playoffs or bust for him.

We now only have a couple more weeks to find out what Paton is scheming, but the quarterback position might take a little bit longer to figure out. Which players might be available in the 2022 offseason that could actually help — or save — the Denver Broncos?
