That's just the thing - what, in Elway's 8 years as GM tells you he won't still be dealing with this in 3-4 years? What has he done that objectively suggests he knows what he is doing at the QB position?

You got out your cutler/orton/tebow phase through the grace of Peyton Manning waltzing in that door. Manning begot Emmanuel Sanders and made your talent that struggled under other QBs much better. He’s a franchise QB. He has that effect. And they came aboard at a reasonable price because it was Manning. Not because of “THEYRE THE BRONCOS! TEH HISTORIEEEZZZ!!” And the same goes for all the defensive pieces you picked up. Do you think they sign with you at the prices they did because of any other reason but Manning? Pat Mahomes is already having that effect and it’s not even free agency yet. You will still get players to sign with you, but only if Elway pays market value or above. And if there are multiple suitors, you might just lose out because you don’t have a real QB. And let’s say another Manning comes along. Maybe Aaron Rodgers or somebody like that. Your team is a flaming dumpster. They’re not going anywhere near you. The ownership, Elway, and your carousel of coaches is going to deter any and all advances you make. But we shall see, won’t we? |

I don't think Flacco can stay healthy for the rest of his contract. So who will be the backup QB? Do you keep Case as a 10 million dollar 2nd stringer? It seems like a complete desperation move by Elway. You have the highest QB dollars being spent in the NFL and yet the worst QB situation in the division. Add to the fact that Flacco is not mobile at all and you have to play the Chargers and Chiefs both with great pass rushers. Elway has gone down the rabbit hole and it will take years and a lot of luck to get back to the Playoffs. |

That aside... Elway has experienced the highest of the highs and the lowest of the lows in his 8 years. He holds on to his old ways too often, but I think he's slowsly adapting. I like this coaching staff much better than the others. Elway has a lot to prove and for many, his window is closing and rightfully so. I'll ride the storm out.

Slow Joe is pretty statuesque back there and not elusive at all. This is not the type of QB you want when you have guys like Bosa, Ford, Jones and Houston coming at you 4 games a year. Even if Case was inaccurate throwing, he could still move around a little and get you some first downs with his legs. I would be pretty depressed if the Chiefs were about to pay Slow Joe 20 million bucks this year. Got to give the Ravens props for getting out from under that ridiculous contract. A sucker is born every day. |

I'm trying to remain as objective as possible here, given that you're a Bronco fan and I'm not, but if I were you, I don't see a whole lot of reasons for hope. |

Since Elway likes paying high dollars for damaged goods- maybe we can trade them Berry?

They could have just rode Siemian on a cheap contract and had similar or even better results. I mean if you are going for "stop gap" might as well go cheap.

100% agree and believe I said as much at the time... fix the OL first.

I view the recent insanity a bunch of different ways... they're defnitely not afraid to make a change. Hell, they've now had as many head coaches since Manning won the SB as PIT has had in my lifetime.
