Is Paxton Lynch Enough to Lead Loaded Denver Broncos Back to the Super Bowl?

Paxton Lynch is the perfect quarterback prospect to lead the Denver Broncos back to the Super Bowl someday. But can “someday” be February 5, 2017?

There’s no doubting Lynch’s potential. Bleacher Report NFL Draft Lead Writer Matt Miller’s No. 3 quarterback, the 6’7″, 244-pound passer has a prototypical NFL frame. Even better, he has rare mobility for his size—whether moving inside the pocket, outside the tackle box or down the field. As Miller notes, there are questions about Lynch’s consistency throwing the ball, but he’s got the arm to grow into a great passer.

For the price of a third-round pick to move up and get him, The Man in Denver now has his guy at quarterback. But is Lynch really ready to take Denver’s starting job?
