Broncos show Colts having a great QB matters little if the roster stinks

Everybody talks about the fact that teams can’t win consistently if they don’t have an elite quarterback. It seems the Indianapolis Colts and the Denver Broncos are doing their best to prove that theory wrong. The Colts have Andrew Luck but have steadily let the roster around him get worse as the years have gone on. Now they’re 0-2 and watching Houston take full control of the division. Meanwhile the loaded roster the Broncos have built are winning games against elite quarterbacks with Trevor Siemian under center.

It’s further proof that the NFL is a team league. Quarterback might be the most important position but without a strong roster in general, winning the Super Bowl matters little. Build a great defense and load the offense with playmakers a team can win with a halfway decent quarterback.
