Worst Case Scenario - 2009 Broncos

1. The Broncos bumble through the entire season, going something like 4-12, which would be their worst showing since 1982.

2. Kyle Orton and Chris Simms get about the same amount of playing time, and by the end of the year, Bronco fan is convinced that Tom Brandstater is as good as any other QB the Broncos have.

3. Peyton Hillis once again leads the Broncos in rushing with 377 yards for the season.

4. Brandon Marshall and the Broncos extend their standoff throughout the entire season.

5. The defense allows over 400 points for the season once again, and there is talk of Mike Nolan being fired.

6. Robert Ayers proves to be the second coming of Jarvis Moss, and Bronco fan is horrified to realize that Josh McDaniels traded away the #5 overall pick in the 2010 draft for the right to draft Alphonso Smith in the second round in 2009.

7. Josh McDaniels officially changes his name to Josh McBelichick and trades Champ Bailey to Kansas City for Matt Cassel.

8. The Bears go 12-4, win the NFC North, and advance to the Super Bowl. Jay Cutler is the NFC Pro Bowl starter at quarterback.

9. Mike Shanahan decides to take another year off and continues to be a drain on Pat Bowlen's bank account.

10. Shannon Sharpe falls short of admission to the Hall of Fame for the second year in a row. Dick LeBeau makes it as a senior committee candidate, but Floyd Little is denied.

That would be a pretty bleak season. But you have to ask yourself - which is more realistic, the best case or the worst case?
