First-year Denver Broncos coach Vance Joseph started his head coaching career off well. Then, because no real quarterback, things have started to sour.
On Sunday, the Broncos fell to the somewhat OK Los Angeles Chargers. Denver scored exactly as many points in that game as you did, and you aren't even a team in the National Football League.
In the postgame presser, Vance Joseph used his platform to passive aggressively suggest the offense isn't holding up its end of the bargain, as he praised the defense.
“The defense, in my opinion, played winning football,” the Broncos coach said, via Nicki Jhabvala of The Denver Post.
“To get shutout, that’s not acceptable,” Joseph added.
The offensive side of the football — specifically, the quarterback position — appears to need some tinkering for the Broncos. This has been the problem with Denver for years at this point. It fields a tremendous defense, has skill position players on offense all over the place, but insert a gunslinger who can barely hurl the football down the field without taking a sack or fumbling or tossing an interception.
There was some silver linings in the otherwise gloomy Denver cloud on Sunday. Standout linebacker Von Miller became the second-fastest player to ever record 80 sacks in National Football League history.
Denver currently has four quarterbacks on (or near on) its roster. None of them are proven to be good. That isn't a good thing, as the defense's window of excellence won't be open forever.
