For this reason I'm inclined to vote for RW. The Broncos are loaded and only need a QB which they should have now. And this season is their best chance to get a Super Bowl, maybe next, because without their first round picks, on top of Wilson's hefty contract, Den will have a tough time replacing departing talent.

Voted Herbert. LA is a big market and Rams just won the SB. A lot of people have Herbert in the top tier but he has never made the playoffs. Keenan Allen ain't getting any younger and many people have the Chargers as the most talented roster in the division.

Yeah, if they can't do it this year with the Chiefs actively choosing to press the reset button and starting a bazillion rookies for 2022, it's gonna be tough to keep picking them going forward.

Part of me just thinks that the Broncos fans will be happy to just have a QB.

Yep. Been looking for one since Peyton Manning retired.

Certainly feels like they're 3rd place waiting to happen. The Chiefs and Chargers will be very good.

2-LV
3-LA
4-Denver

They also have a coach who I could see winning coach of the year or fired and that's the only team like that imo

I think that'd be a huge mistake, but it would be classic Chargers if it did happen.

Honestly, I think the Chiefs are either 1st or 4th. I think Chargers and Broncos are both playoff teams. Raiders get in the playoffs if the Chiefs flop but otherwise they're 4th.

Broncs have a new HC, OC and QB learning a new system.

to me as far as pressure (not expectations) has to be Derek Carr.
No matter what happens this year. The other three are secured in their jobs. Excuses will be made if they have a bad year.
Carr. His job isnt secure even with a good year. A great year might silence some critics. Bad year well, we dont even know if he is starting for the Raiders next year.
