The big question is always team chemistry, and it generally seems to wind up lacking on these teams that try to win it all through free agency. Look at the Eagles of three years ago. They brought in a tonne of guys with good pedigree but they didn't mesh. A lot of the Philly beat writers talked about how there was a lot of resentment from some of the existing players who saw these new guys come in and be handed starting jobs and big paycheques.
I'm not saying this is guaranteed to happen with the Broncos but there is some precedent here.

Who is Denver's core exactly behind an ageing Manning and Von Miller?
Does DeMarcus Ware not have Bruce Smith potentially written on him? Are you saying there aren't any question marks surrounding Talib and Ward?
EDIT: Look at some of Snyder's signings and tell me there aren't some parallels.
1. DeAngelo Hall - Aqib Talib
2. Adam Archuleta - TJ Ward
3. DeMarcus Ware - Bruce Smith
