Following a disastrous 5-12 2022 campaign, the Denver Broncos have few places to go but up, but predicting how far up they go in the 2023 NFL season should best be approached with caution.
With the exile of in-over-his-head Nathaniel Hackett and the hero’s welcome given to Super Bowl winner and future Hall-of-Famer Sean Payton, Broncos Country is certainly feeling optimistic, particularly with recent upgrades on the offensive line and pass rush. Yet, that optimism is best described as “cautionary”.
After the hype of adding Russell Wilson and an offensive-minded and energetic coach one offseason ago that sizzled almost immediately, most of Broncos Country (along with the NFL media/personalities) are practicing a wait-and-see approach.
