Who knows if it will work, but there should be a concern about all these new guys and not upsetting the team chemistry. However, the defense needed such an overhaul and they needed a lot of depth at OL and WR, so what was the alternative? Staying with what they had or rebuild areas of the team...
It's easy to say "they're the Skins of 2000 or the 49ers and Cowboys of the future", but those are all uninformed remarks. Denver has signed a lot of quality FAs this offseason and they've still got lots of room under the cap. So, it's easy to say "they're in the SuperBowl or Bust mode". Again, uninformed.
Look at where a bulk of the FA money has gone.... Lepsis, Pryce, Griese, Walker. Big $$$ deals with long term contracts for players in their mid 20s, not early 30s similar to the Skins of 2000. Then, there are a slew of other FAs who have been signed to 1-4yr deals, with minimal cap figures.
Don't take my word though, I'm a devoted fan and I have total faith in Bowlen, Shannahan and Rhodes. Don't trust the sportswriters, they all have their own agendas.
Take some time to read through the BS and really understand that a majority of the money has been spent guranteeing that the most talented young Broncos will stay with the team. Yes, there are a handful of players that have been brought in with the belief that they'll only be here for a year or two, giving the team that extra push for the SB title. But, everyteam has a few of those types of signings.
The Broncos will not be the Cowboys or 49ers of the future... unless you're talking about the SB success that these teams had in the early 90s. :-)
