Broncos Need Star WR, New Play-Caller for Super Bowl Push

0:00On February 27th, the Denver Broncos are missing a key piece to become real Super Bowl threats, a true number one wide receiver. NFL analyst Brian Baldinger pointed this out recently, saying the team lacks that dominant playmaker who forces defenses to adjust before the snap. Without one, they're often struggles to tilt the field in their favor. Baldinger compared it to the Kansas City Chiefs last season when Rachea Rice got hurt and their attacks stalled out, leading to early playoff exits. He praised Cortland Sutton as a solid number two option with a big frame for contested catches, but not the guy who dominates every Sunday. Young talents like Troy Franklin show promise, yet they are not ready to carry playoff games. Fans and analysts see the gap clearly, especially after the Broncos leaned on their top ranked defense last year while the offense faltered in big. Moments, names like George Pickens, AJ Brown, Drake London, Brandon Ayyuk, and Marvin Harrison Jr. keep popping up as trade targets, with over $27,400,000 in calf space.

1:04General manager George Patton has room to make moves. Now, head coach Sean Payton is shaking things a further by handing full play-calling duties to new offensive coordinator, Davis Webb, starting next. Payton, who has called plays most of his career, trusts Webb's sharp instincts from his quick jump from player to coach. He will stay involved overall, but let Webb run the huddle. This combo of a star receiver and fresh play-calling could unlock quarterback Bo Nix and build a balanced attack around mile high, setting the Broncos. Up for a stronger push ahead.
