Horse Tracks: Can you handle a rebuild, Broncos Country?

The Denver Broncos are a professional American football team that plays in the National Football League (NFL). They have been a part of the league since 1967 and have won five Super Bowl championships. However, in recent years, the team has struggled to find success at the quarterback position.

Since Peyton Manning retired after the 2015 season, the Broncos have used a variety of different quarterbacks in an attempt to fill his void. In 2016, they selected Paxton Lynch with the 13th overall pick in the NFL Draft. However, Lynch struggled to live up to expectations and was eventually released by the team in 2019.

The Broncos also used Day 2 picks Brock Osweiler and Drew Lock at the quarterback position. Osweiler was acquired via trade from the Houston Texans in 2015, but he struggled to perform consistently and was eventually released by the team in 2018. Lock, on the other hand, was selected with the 42nd overall pick in the 2019 NFL Draft and is currently the starting quarterback for the team.

In addition to using draft picks and free agent signings, the Broncos have also tried to find success at the quarterback position by acquiring veteran players through trades. For example, they acquired Case Keenum from the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 in hopes of him providing a steady presence at the position.

Despite these efforts, the Broncos have not been able to consistently find success at the quarterback position since Manning retired. This has led to a rebuilding process for the team, as they continue to search for a solution to their ongoing struggles at the position.
