Default Young, versatile, athletic Broncos Offense!!

Cutler- Young and athletic. Can make every throw and then some. Great velocity and good accuracy.

Walker- Young and athletic. Has great size and speed combo to go along with great hands. Is tough and makes tough catches.

Marshall- Young with great size. Looks like he could really be a great in the red zone and as a number 2 wr.

Graham- Young and athletic. Good hands and a devestating blocker.

Scheffler- Young with great speed and hands. His short shuttle at combine was the fastest last yr and also would have been fastest this year.

Henry- Young and runs with power and speed. Devastating stiff arm and has a good nose for the endzone. Also good at picking up blitzes. Needs to work on his receiving.

All in all I think this is the best set of skill players we have had since Easy Ed, Rod, Sharpe, Davis, Elway. It's not what those players are yet but it really looks like we have something here that could last for awhile. These players are gifted, young, and locked up!!!!!!!!!

Henry- Young
He is comparably old for a running back. Perhaps not "old", but certain not "Young".

Maybe I shouldn't have said young, but to me 28 is still young enough for the point of this post. We have a great core for a good 3-4 yr run here. They need some development as well the oline does but I'm excited. I don't see many weaknesses in the games of our skill players!!!!!!!!

This post was more about the skill set. But you could throw in Pears and Kyper as players who are young and being worked into lineup.

Add Kircus, another youngster with good WR skills and PR skills. And MB. I'm still worried about the OL also. Cutler could be in traction by game 5.

But he hadn't started playing football until in the Corp. So he body was "young" because of low mileage on it, compare to Henry who has played for long time

Yes, but Henry also has low mileage on him. He's still got a lot in the tank.

we need much stronger line play this year otherwise all that talent on the outside is worthless. Our line was incredibly inconsistent last year. Also, Cutler needs to work on getting rid of the ball a little quicker.

with foster gone and leaking in detroit, the right side will be stouter. hamilton will get pushed around some. hopefully the young stud RG will kick some butt. hope lepsis is back, mostly.

We need to hire Alex Gibbs again. Built the best O-line in Broncos history.
