How can Elway capitalize on his third year passer? If the Broncos feel Bolles is not up to snuff, they are not obligated to hand him a starting job this year.

However, the 38-year-old could still remain a viable option for the tackle-needy Broncos, even if his days as a truly elite NFL blindside protector are  firmly behind him. They weren’t their once dominant selves, but they were reliable and steady for the Broncos.
