As the NFL playoffs get rolling and we’re painfully reminded how far the Broncos have fallen, won’t you please join me in the search for any ray of sunshine that could make us believe happy football Sundays will be here again soon?
The way I figure it, all Denver needs to do to get back in the Super Bowl conversation is to find a quarterback as good as Brock Purdy.
When San Francisco took him with the 262nd and final pick of the 2022 draft, Purdy was Mr. Irrelevant. After throwing three touchdown passes and leading the Niners to a 41-23 playoff victory against Seattle on Saturday, he not only looked Purdy darn good but a decidedly safer future investment than the veteran quarterback recently given a $245 million contract extension by the Broncos.
