There are whispers of CJ Beathard trade offer that could be us given SF & DEN’s systems being so mirrored (except for talent lol). Hopefully it’s nothing crazy I’d rather suffer with Brandon Allen / Lock than give up a real asset for another stopgap. Isn't there talk of taking Rypien off the PS as back-up? Seriously - if they don't get Lock activated then Elway is stacking picks to make a run at a QB in the draft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jsthomp2007 Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 So, Flacco is hurt? Not that I wish any ill will to anyone getting hurt. But, I am excited to see what the young guy has...maybe he will have an impact like the Allen in Carolina is having (sans yesterday). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Expecting Lock to even back up fresh off IR-return would be insane. And putting Rypien as our backup for @MIN / @BUF week 11-12 would be justifiable. 4 weeks is a really short time to get a rookie ready. But yeah it’s a no brainer to get Lock off IR and start practicing. And IMO week 13 the latest for a 5-game run to get his feet wet. Keeping guys on ice for an entire year is so 1980-1990’s. And that’s just talking about game experience. It’s absolutely ridiculous to deprive him of any practice / scrimmage time. So IR-return should be a Lock (yes I went there lol).

BroncoBruin Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 I can live with 5 games, but hopefully Allen bombs to the point they say "screw it" and just throw Drew in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 To speak to what @lomaxgrUK was referring to.... Basically Flacco and the O has zero verticality to our game and we are behind injury replacements / backups in how aggressive the air game is. Flacco wasn’t the entire problem but he wasn't even close to being part of the solution either. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 Well on the bright side.... 1. We're not going to waste draft capital on stopgaps who won't help us long-term. 2. We likely are going to get a better draft position for 2020. 3. Lock's going to activated eventually, so at least a complete redshirt-year isn't in the books. I'd hope we see at LEAST 5 games of actual playing, though. But it could be worse given Elway's tendencies. Oh well. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncoBruin Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 This franchise is unbelievable. They make a million stupid little mistakes and then cry that there's nothing they can do to fix them, so stop blaming us. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Broncofan Posted October 29, 2019 Share Posted October 29, 2019 (edited) The unrest about Lock not starting his 2-week practice window grows and TBH it’s totally warranted: Here’s the thing - you don’t need to make any moves off the 53-man roster to let Lock practice. You do only get 2 weeks to decide once you let him start practicing. So the only explanation that makes any sense is that the staff & Elway want to give all the work to Allen & Rypien given both are moving up. And that Lock’s usage would be limited this week. It’s dumb to think Rypien will upgrade Lock to any significant degree, though. And once Lock is activated off IR-return - Rypien is getting cut and then moved back to the PS. But I imagine Elway’s inability to give up the win-now mentality drives some of this. It’s just if he’s going to be our Nov-Dec guy, starting the practice clock later doesn’t really get a lot of justification. Guess we’ll find out soon enough what happens.
