Lot of Broncos fans think they are going to win the division too. Difference between the two views, is most in the national media are picking/likely will pick the Broncos to win the division, where as few predictions are calling for the Chiefs to win the division. Not sure if that is really a good thing for the Broncos being the experts seem to be wrong as often as they are right. I'm sure everyone but Raiders fans thinks they can win this division. |

The only way KFC wins the division is if Manning has a setback and Denver has to start a rookie QB.
KFC has some nice pieces but no one who is near the best in the league at any position other than punter. |

If you don't think KC is stronger at most of the positions than I don't know what to tell ya. Manning has struggled against the Chargers and Romeo Crennel's defense. Add in the fact that Denver couldn't stop the run last year (in a year without DMC and Charles) and did virtually nothing to improve that and you see why either of the 3 teams could win.

JC is a scatback and had one good year against a last place schedule and now he is rehabbing a blown out knee. McGahee is a better all around back. Your o-line is no better than ours which led the leaque in rushing. D-line even with our DT position is ours....... Corners we are better.......... Give ya safety........... WR is about equal depending upon Bowe and DT........... So where is it you think you are so much better ? We have just as good TEs now............. |

With that said: 1. O-Line-I think Denver's O-Line is at least as good as KC's, if not better. Good free agent pick ups and draft selections for KC tho. Hard to rate Denver's O-Line under an option style offense last season too. 2. WR-KC returns very average WR's if Bowe holds out. I think both Decker and Thomas will have break out seasons with Manning at QB. KC probably has more depth at the position then Denver. 3. RB-The history of RB's coming back and being nearly as productive in year 1 of an ACL tear... is basically non-existent. Most have had massive drops in production. Many RB's of Charles's similar size and style were never the same again. Maybe Charles will be an exception to that next season, but dunno why Chief fans are counting on it. If he isn't the exception, KC is not in a good place at RB. 4. CB-Flowers is probably the best corner among the teams. But Denver has a lot more depth imo at the position then KC after that. 5. Safety-This is the one position where I don't think it's even remotely debatable--KC is way better here. 6. Front 7-Denver has two very good pass rushers. KC looks to have two as well. Denver had 12 more sacks last season and 14 more tackles for loss. Is KC going to be considerably better next year? Denver considerably worse? KC has a great 3-4 Middle Linebacker, one of the best in the business and Denver took a big loss in losing Bunkley on defense. DT is a bit of a concern for the Broncos... but based on last year, Denver gave up less yards per carry then KC. Are the Chiefs going to do better with an unpolished rookie likely starting at NT? My main point in all of this is that the notion that KC is considerably better at most positions is really not based in reality. They have a good team, and if Bowe signs and Charles is the exception to the rule--KC's offense should be more talented then Denver's (outside of the QB position). But we don't know what will happen there. |

But the OL is key. If Cassel has a year like 2010, it will be a good year, but we don't know what we're gonna get with anyone in the division. Will Manning, Berry, Palmer, Moeaki, DMC, Charles, Rivers, Gates be healthy or perform like they did in the past? Is Ingram, Poe, or Wolfe a difference maker? So many questions. I think it's going to be a very close race between all 3 teams. |

[QUOTE=Rolandftw;3601299]It's hard to compare some positions because we play different defenses. Can't really compare a 3-4 DE to a 4-3 DE, as they both bring different things to the table.
With that said: Quote:
I was not overly impressed with Franklin last year. He was good in run support, but not in pass pro. And Walton struggled most of the time last year. Kuper was very good though. Quote:

And you're forgeting Cyrus Gray. I think the kid is a solid all around back. Good in the flat and has good speed. Hillman looks like a good pick IMO as far as a weapon in the flat and and sweeps. I wouldn't take a RB that will be 31 this year over the young guys who have better run blockers. Quote:

Too many questions, but I think KC will be a better blocking and run defending team next season. |

I like how you left out his 968 yards (3rd in the NFL in 2nd half), 7TD, and 5.86 YPC in his 2009 season in the 8 games he started when he took over for Larry Johnson.

When he has faced top notch competition ass in the playoffs for example he flat ass disappeared. Best hope he comes back right...TD never was right. |

Yeah, all the Chief's players suck and all of Denver's are really good.

And medicine has come a LONG way since TD's days. Ryan Broyles and Adrian Peterson look very good and they tore their ACL's 2-3 months after JC tore his. Wes Welker looked fine after he tore his. |

Don't be a smartass. As a Bronc fans you saw what Hillis was capable of so can the smartass........ Hillis will be a steady gain even if nothing there. JC will never get the hard yards. Scatbacks dance around...get one or couple or get stuffed a lot hoping and praying for
that one big one................ Speed is fine but you need consistency..............just like CJ...JC is not there...................... Last edited by Jetmeck; 06-07-2012 at 01:56 PM.. |

Naw....your just a red/white glasses fool............I call it like I see it.
He is hurt ...as bad as it gets for his position and he is small and cannot get the hard yards. TD was a tweaner with size and speed and could do it all................you got a scatback.........just look at CJ who disappears just like your fool has done even when healthy.
