The defense alone is good enough for 8-8 to 10-6 range. The cycle of mediocrity will continue

There’s no way this team wins 10 games. 8-8 would be a shock to me honestly.
They'll be 9-7 quality, but Fangio will cost them 3 games with bonehead calls late in the 4th.

New 17 game season. If they win 8 they would lose 9.

The Broncos roster is one of the best in the league if you ignore the QB

They have holes where it seems like they have had holes for ever. Qb, rt, ilb. Outside of that they are stacked at several positions and above average at others. It’s the reason if you put Rodgers on this team they would be contenders similar to when they added Manning.
without the qb it’s hovering around .500 purgatory forever

Yeah, I think Bridgewater will be...adequate. Which might actually be a bad thing if the best case scenario has them tanking for a QB at the draft in 2022.
I don't think Fangio has a clue as a HC. He's about as conservative, if not moreso, than Fox was. And he also had some insanely dumb moments over the course of his tenure with the Broncos.

Still pretty bummed about this. With the talks of Rodgers wanting to come here and them not drafting Fields, it really felt like there was something there. And now we've got....Teddy Bridgewater. Le sigh.
Pfffffft, I actually didn't want them to get Rodgers. Fangio wouldn't have known what to do with him anyway. This current regime needs to be swept out the door. Also, Joe Ellis and his epic stench is still roaming the hallways at Dove Valley, and if he leaves like he says he's going to, then they'll finally be free of him as well. Maybe then, and only then, will Paton finally start fixing this mess.

I don't disagree with you on the regime sweep, but Rodgers likely would have told Fangio what to do.
Probably but it just would've kept an incompetent HC in place. I hope this next time they actually get that part right. Maybe don't pick a defensive guy when the time comes...
A ton of talent on defense being coached by someone that was considered one of the best DC when he was hired as the HC.
A decent OL with an elite LT, and lots of options at receiver.
The QBs suck so they’ll probably be around 6~8 win range
I sure hope if indeed Fangio gets the Boot that they hold onto Munchak. Dude turned Garret effin' Bolles into a machine, he's been everything as billed and then some.
I don’t think any of these guys will be here 365 days from now. Maybe Elway just because someone will think they owe something to him and to ease the “transition”, but honestly the franchise will be a lot better when he packs up his bags and leaves as well. Some think Paton will stick - nice guy and all, but unless Brittney takes over I think he’s gone as well.
new owner’s gonna clean house. Von gone, Luck will stay one year to prove himself on his rookie deal, TeddyB will be gone, and Fangio for sure will be out. I think this is 100% inevitable. No owner is going to want to pay what they’re going to pay for this franchise and let a bunch of old baby boomers stick around until they’re 70. This year is simply a last hurrah (probably more of a last whimper) before the franchise gets cleaned out.

You're not supposed to say bad things about him on Scott Frost Day
Give him a break. He didn't get three games versus U (Compass Point) (Shithole State) and hasn't had decades to gaslight people into thinking what a classy guy he is.
I promise you, he won't.
At this rate the Huskers are gonna have nine coaches still on the payroll and still be terrible.
Gameday is a great time to go out and do your grocery shopping. No lines, no traffic.

I thought Frost was going to be better than he's ended up being. He had done well at all his other stops and his work at UCF was fantastic. His work at Nebraska is a complete and utter disaster. I don't think I've seen many teams be so unprepared for basically anything. They make huge mistakes over and over again. Their QB can't make a single throw to his left with any accuracy. Instead of taking ownership Frost blames his players for being terrible and bad leaders. I'll be glad when that cocky SOB is completely out of football. He has a worse ego than peak Lane Kiffin.
