The Facts: Vance Joseph is standing up for his offense. The new Broncos HC said Wednesday at the NFL Scouting Combine that last season's offense led by young quarterbacks Siemian and Paxton Lynch was better than the national perception. "The team won nine games and the perception was the offense wasn't very good, but in my opinion the offense was pretty good," Joseph said. "They didn't finish well in the red zone, but the quarterbacks played well."
Diehards Line:The Broncos' offense under former coach Gary Kubiak last season finished 27th in total yards and 22nd in points per game. With Mike McCoy retaking the offensive reins in Denver under Joseph, the attention turns to the quarterback position. With rumors swirling about the Broncos potentially landing Tony Romo -- if the quarterback is released -- Joseph said he's confident in Siemian and Lynch. "We've got two young guys that combined to win nine games last year as starters -- probably should have won two more games," he said. "We're fine there with those two kids." Siemian continues to rehab his injured shoulder and Joseph added the third-year passer is "on track" for organized team activities. As for last year's first-round pick, Joseph said he needs to see consistency in offseason workouts for Lynch to win the starting gig. Meanwhile, as NFL.com suggests, the Romo question will continue to linger over the Broncos organization until the veteran's future is determined. But Joseph is pressing forward with plans to start one of his young passers.
