The first thing I will say is that I don't think they are that good. There isn't a lot of competition int he AFC West this year with both the Broncos and Chargers being out shined by the Chiefs, but I feel that the division is up for grabs between those three teams this year. Whats amazing me is that Josh McDaniels gets rid of the offensive all-stars on his team, and finds either veterans who nobody has heard of, busts, or extremely underrated players and wins games with them.
Kyle Orton: Everybody doubted this guy even when he won 10 games as a rookie for the Bears. People were doubting him before the season started, and he is still leading the league in passing yards.
Brandon Lloyd: His career has been highlighted by being in and out of coaches doghouses and having mediocre seasons as a starting wideout. The past two games he has over 200 receivingyards.
Correll Buckhalter:His career has been highlighted by constant injuries. While he hasn't been putting up great numbers, he plays a key role for the Denver Offense, helping them win today against the Titans as well as contributing last year.
Jabar Gaffney: Like Brandon Lloyd, Gaffney ended up in the Texan's doghouse and ended up with the Patriots. He had only one impressive game for the Patriots (during the playoffs). Since the end of last season and the beginning of this season he has been a reliable playmaker.
Do you thinking that Josh McDaniels is doing a good job recruiting and motivating so called "busts" (as well as coaching them), or do you think this is the result of the Broncos having the worst rushing offense in the league?
