When you lose the conference championship game, you start to wonder “what if…”, and in the case of the Broncos, what if they had a receiver who could take over the game? Ashlie Lelie and Rod Smith had decent enough yardage but only a combined 6 catches in the biggest game of the season. Lelie has never panned out as the receiver they thought he’d be coming out of Hawaii when Denver took him in the first round and Rod Smith is getting a little long in the tooth.
There’s no question that TO would make the Broncos a much more potent offense, possibly even instant conference favorites, but would you risk the inevitable meltdown for a shot at the Super Bowl?
