If he can get his crap together, Kelly is the most talented QB on the roster. He's a gamer. He's got some issues though.
I would bet Siemien starts.
I think Siemian has the edge but much of this will depend on the new OC scheme. If they want a more mobile QB than Lynch has a legit chance to take the job.
Elway has really tried to upgrade the OLine last season and again this offseason. Then he has also signed J Charles and drafted a RB. There are now 4 RBs on the roster. Anderson, Charles, Henderson and Booker. it appears that a RB by committee is the approach here.
So if the OLine can become average and the run game gets going that will compensate greatly for Denver's lack of an elite QB. Denver still has the best secondary in the league and a great edge pass rush.

Agreed it's a long shot. But Patriots only lost two games last season and they are coming back with a dramatically better roster this season. On top of that, they have a cake schedule.
They need to watch out for:
v K.C. 09/07
v Atlanta 10/22
@ Denver 11/12
@ Oakland 11/19
@ Pittsburgh 12/17
All possible Ls. So yes, it is possible they go 16-0 but it is also as possible that they go 11-5
Top 4 toughest schedules are the 4 AFC west teams. That's good news for New England. Arguably 3 of their top 4 AFC threats are in the West (Pittsburgh is the other)

Yea undefeated is a long shot. But the Patriots are easily favored in all those games.
