When the Denver Broncos' season ended in the AFC Championship Game at the hands of the New England Patriots, conversations immediately turned into how the Broncos can get back and advance next year. Several areas of concern were identified immediately, including retaining their own coaches. The Broncos needed to promote him to keep him, but Davis Webb will be back in Denver next year.
With his return, he will also be handed the play-calling duties on offense, which is a major change from last year. Sean Payton is far from a spring chicken anymore, and his play-calling abilities were put under the microscope on a few occasions last year.
