2010 Record: 4-12
Offense:
If there was a bright spot for the Broncos last year it was their passing attack. Kyle Orton passed for 3,653 yards and 20 touchdowns and wide receiver Brandon Lloyd had 1,448 receiving yards and 11 touchdowns. Problem is that was about it. Moreno was a let down gaining under 800 yards. I think Moreno could have a little better season in his 2nd year, but I also don't think he is anything special. The question for the Broncos is whether they start Tebow or Orton. They have decide on Orton, but you have to wonder for how long. So far Fox doesn't seem to be a Tebow fan, but after this team spent a first round pick on the kid doesn't he get a shot? Orton is very solid, but he is not going to fix this team.
Defense:
Wow, was this group horrible last year. At one point they gave up 59 points to the Oakland Raiders... Yikes. I like that they picked up Von Miller, but this group is far from improved. Dawkins is another year older and so is Champ Bailey. The Broncos were the worst defense in the league last year, ranking 25th against the pass and 31st against the run. With Dumervil coming back and Miller they should have an improved pass rush, but with so many young players just learning the system at important spots on defense I think it could be another long year for this unit.
Overall:
The Broncos have a very hard schedule this year having to play the Jets, Patriots, Packers for their out of conference schedule. Thus, I don't see anyway this team improves much from last year.
