Ian Rapoport joined Ryan Edwards and Benjamin Allbright on Broncos Country Tonight on KOA radio to give his thoughts on Denver’s outlook for the upcoming season (starting around the 6:30 mark).
Not surprisingly, his prediction for the team centered heavily around the quarterback play.
“If you were going to tell me that Joe Flacco was going to be healthy for sixteen games, and play like he did for the first four games last year, I would say the Broncos are an above .500 team.” Rapoport went on to say 9-7 is around where he thinks Denver could land if Flacco plays well and stays healthy, given Denver’s defense and running game providing support.
