The unpredictable is what I predict for the Broncos 2009 season. It's going out on a limb, I know. But, clearly, committing to a commitment regarding the 2009 Denver season is dangerously close to actually having an opinion about what the Broncos might do in the upcoming year. And I'd rather just kind of ramble on.

Musings are much less substantial and not really accountable. So here goes nothing.


Mini-camp will have stretches of tedious repetition, theatrics and Shakespearean drama, and roiling waves of excitement and exhilaration. There will be on field arguments that'll have the commentators predicting gloom and doom in Bronco Land and long hot days of nothingness inciting the pundits to platitudes of marrow sucking for a story, any story. Coaches, players, even ball boys, all,  will be ripe for the picking.

There will be moments of complete cohesion in camp, beatitudes as everything flows together and coalesces; a rainbow will alight upon the field, bunnies shall nibble upon the clover, and a glowing halo of butterflies will follow McDaniel off the field at the end of the day.
 
There will be days of boredom, routine, the constant.

I predict that when the preseason finally arrives it will suddenly look as if McDaniels is going to go with Simms.
Orton will have had a better camp. Fans will chorous: "What does this 'supposed' new Broncos coach think he is  doing, exactly?"
But in the end, it'll be Orton after all. McDaniels is such a tease.
At some point in the preseason I'll bet he'll even have us thinking what's his name, Brandstater might actually be starting the season...

Oh, and by the way, when Dawkins gets injured in the pre-season, the year will NOT be in jeopardy. Despite the newscasters and commentators going into a anxiety ridden tail-spin, the injury turns out to be minor, and the X-Factor will dominate through the year.
