Yup. Yet another reason they need to offload Harris and any other vets they can. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm truly baffled by his comments today. Incompetence bro. The comment wasn't terrible, but there's no reason to even go there. This guy is so out of touch with how an organization should be run in 2019 Edited October 22, 2019 by champ11 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He got a value for E very few of us saw him getting and is still on the defensive. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
germ-x Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was pessimistic, but that was a good deal by Elway. Sanders while he didn’t start his career here, is one of my favorite all time Broncos since I really began paying attention after the ‘97 SB (I was 9 at the time). Just absolutely love his toughness/competitiveness, he’s a guy that absolutely loves playing football and I hope he’s able to get another championship before his career ends. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Compared to Eric Decker who I only liked because he had a hot wife Talladega nights reference. Sanders was an awesome Bronco. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BroncosFan2010 Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Quote Compared to Eric Decker who I only liked because he had a hot wife Talladega nights reference. Sanders was an awesome Bronco. Decker was a good dude. I never had any issues with him as a player, albeit his hands were meh at times. Our WR talent outside Sutton is nasty. Hamilton has been such a disappointment. After Courtland, the guy I actually like the most is Trinity Benson. Small school guy but I would wager just as much on him developing as I would Winfree, who also has some talent but has his own checks against him (Benson small school, Winfree huge underachiever while at CU). Regardless, I would prefer Benson and Winfree get the majority of snaps over Hamilton (replacement level slot at best moving forward, IMO) and Diontae and Brown (Old JAG's). That wont happen though, we will go with the higher drafted guy (Hamilton) and the guys who are less likely to make mistakes, but also less likely to develop into building blocks (Diontae / Brown), because we need to win these games and ensure a poorer draft slot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Once Lock plays young wrs will also play and the emphasis will be getting the ball out on time and making the right reads. I'd like to see what Benson and Winfree can do Edited October 23, 2019 by thebestever6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be absolutely fair to the coaches - Hamilton has probably played the most in the slot and in Sanders' backup role. He's going to be given a ton of snaps based on that familiarity alone. For the next 2 games, it's hard to argue. Coming out of the bye, though, I'd hope we see more of Wingree & Benson and even Spencer (as a lid lifter) in the 3 and 4 WR rotations. I'm disheartened to hear Tim Patrick is an IR-return priority post-bye That dude is the very definition of JAG. It absolutely speaks to the priority of Elway as win-now.

Butts career is likely over. I would have preferred that Elway simply keep his options open and not commit any spot to anyone. Even the notion that Riddick could take the spot is beyond absurd. There's absolutely zero bluff potential since the decision takes place 10 days after the trade deadline. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Broncofan Posted October 23, 2019 Author Share Posted October 23, 2019 BTW, something to file away for the future - when it comes time to deal Von Miller, we won't be able to use the end-of-3rd comp pick as worst case scenario with no trade but letting him walk - because he'll have 10+ years of service time, like Sanders. I think that's a moot point, as we'll deal him before his last year of his contract, but keep the above in mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fair point the only bluff I see going on right now is with Mr.Lock the sooner you practice him the sooner you convey the message to the league that winning is no longer a priority. Which kinda devalues all of your assets. So in that scenario I think it's a bluff . Tim Patrick is underrated but he's not moving the needle.
