It was clear that the man needed some help, but the help he got was quite a surprise for the entire NFL community.

The Broncos have hired 28-year-old Davis Webb as the team’s QB coach. Having spent most of his time on the bench, and only having one significant NFL start, Webb’s credentials are definitely a matter of concern. Not to mention, he will be coaching Wilson, who holds a much better career record than him and is superior in terms of experience as well.
