That's pure speculation. In six seasons (96 regular season games), he's only started 25.

At least you're being more reasonable than your Bronco brethren that claim he was the starter all along and that you'll be "just fine" because 13 games were won last year.

PS - This is 2013, not 2012.

All battle plans are good until the first shot is fired.

I considered him the weakest part of our line last year. There was a noticeable difference on the right side when he was in compared to a half healthy Kuper. I do believe this though, when there is a guy like Peyton behind center, it's either perform or you won't play. Consequently I think Man Ram will step up his game even more.

They have Peyton Manning. They'll be fine.

The "starter" is JD Walton. Not Koppen or Man Ram

Due to injury, Walton hasn't been the starter for nearly a year.

He's still the starter bro. If he wasn't on the PUP then he'd be the number 1. Count it.

Bronco's have been plugging and playing players on their teams for years.

If we are expecting the center to be the team's waterloo, I don't know what to say

Peyton Manning is like, what's an offensive line again? That thing I make look good? Oh, got it.

Heh. Yep. Along with Thomas, Decker, and now Welker.

If the line can protect Manning, the Broncos will likely have a very potent offense.

I don't see them winning more than eleven regular season games, but the offense, provided Monte Ball is an NFL back, should be very, very good.

How many games do you think KC will win?

I can't make a prediction yet, as I haven't seen this team on the field.

On paper, 10 wins should be their be floor but considering the offense and defense have completely changed schemes and there's been a huge roster turnover, it's really hard to predict.

I'm really excited to see their preseason games, probably the most excited since Vermeil was hired in 2001.

Can't argue with you there. 11 wins is a lot. I'm looking forward to seeing what KC does this season. Hoping the West gets competitive again.
