But since Manning left the Bronco's have not had mediocre play at QB. I agree that Flacco would need to have a bit of a bounce back, but I do think that he can play better than Case Keenum, and that with better coaching could be enough for the Bronco's to be that team who end up with 10 wins.
Now to be clear I'm not going out and better money on this, it's my odd ball prediction. Every year someone surprises in the NFL, and I'm guessing it will be the Bronco's who are better than people think.

It's a bit of a misconception that Flacco is better than Keenum. Statistically they are very similar players;

That Super Bowl win was a long time ago. I think the Broncos are every bit the 6-8 win team that they have been projected as they still have issues on the offensive line and their receivers don't scare anyone. As has been the trend there will probably be a worst to first team but I don't think it will come from the AFC West.
