It's not like there weren't numerous other issues aiding in the problems of an offense with a 1st year starting QB.
59% completion percentage... would like to see that over 65% in Year 2
18/10 TD/INT Ratio ... would like to see 24/8 ratio
3,401 passing yards (242 pga) ... solid, play 16 games ... would like to see 3,900 yards
250+ ypg in 8 of 15 ... would like to see more consistency, 12+ games
Broncos finished top 5 most punts ... would like to see them in the bottom 1/2
Broncos finished 27th rushing offense... gotta be in the top 1/2
Those are the little things and I don't think my expectations are really all that crazy. Hell, just complete 27 more passes in 2016 and he would hit that completion %.

For a 7th round pick he had very Alex Smith like stats. I'm not sure he's your answer at qb, but a serviceable qb from the 7th may end up being Elways best offensive pick!
