Rumors are spreading that the owners are preparing for an eight game season beginning in October or November. My initial reaction was "Aw, crap!" But then I got to thinking, for the Broncos that might work out to be a pretty good deal.

It gives us an opportunity to sort out the QB situation and to deal one of them.

It gives us a chance to really look at the draft class. We can find out who is teachable, who is not; which of the "projects" with huge athleticism may pan out and can we stop the run?

It gives us second chance to look at free agency to fill holes and a whole other draft before 2012.
