Earlier this week, I decided to take a temperature check on Denver Broncos fans after they’ve had a week or two to digest the hiring of Sean Payton as the team’s next head coach. I expected some to reserve confidence after being burned so badly by last year’s hire, but I was wrong. By a count of 95%, fans overwhelmingly love the direction of the team and feel confident in the Payton hiring.

In our first post-Payton hiring poll, 67% of you also felt his hiring will turn the Broncos into a playoff contender.
