The Facts: Of all the things Mike McCoy has said since he returned as the Broncos offensive coordinator, his comment about working with quarterbacks is rock solid. "I've worked with all kinds of quarterbacks. I think we can make an offense that works for all our quarterbacks," McCoy said. "... I think I can make any of our quarterbacks better and adjust to what they do best."
Diehards Line:McCoy, the former San Diego Chargers head coach, has indeed "worked with all kinds of quarterbacks." This is the guy, after all -- with the help of current Miami Dolphins coach Adam Gase -- who took apart a traditional pro offense in a week to install an option-based attack for Tim Tebow in 2011. After the 2011 season ended with that option-based attack cratering in a blowout loss to the New England Patriots in the divisional round, the Broncos signed Peyton Manning. In that overhaul, McCoy and Gase went from an option-based run offense to a no-huddle attack with Manning taking snaps out of the shotgun. McCoy can, and will, work with any quarterback the Broncos put behind center. And that flexibility, that versatility, is something McCoy has emphasized since his arrival for his second stint with the Broncos -- he served as Denver offensive coordinator from 2009 to 2012. "This is going to be a very player-friendly system," McCoy has said. As ESPN.com's Jeff Legwold notes, the proof will always be in their actions in free agency, but the Broncos have said the plan is to pick Trevor Siemian or Paxton Lynch to be the team's starting quarterback next season.
