That was my immediate thought when I read the Keenum news. Elway is hedging his bets to take a gamble on the type of QB that he loves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AnAngryAmerican Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 If they want this Kyle Orton Case Keenum experiment to work out they better build a roster around him that looks like Minnesota's. In other words, one that has real weapons outside, in the backfield and an offensive line to protect him for those 5-6 yard throws downfield that Orton Keenum excels at. Oh, and we also need a defense that get him the ball at midfield each series. You can't take a QB now, you need to win now with Orton Keenum.

I hope you are right about all of this, because after the McD/Orton experiment we went to the playoffs, hired a descent coach, signed a HOF QB, and a bunch of other top level players, dominated the AFC West, won the conference, and went to two Super Bowls. So, you are saying we are two years away then. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We probably should, because Kyle Orton Case Keenum isn't a franchise QB, even though we're paying him like it, but we're not taking a QB. Here it is from Mike Klis, the most well-connected guy in town. Quote With Keenum as their quarterback, the Broncos are expected to keep Lynch as their backup. It means the Broncos probably won’t take a quarterback with their No. 5 overall draft pick, although Elway won’t rule it out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

broncos67 Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I think we see how the board falls at 5. If the QB we covet is there, we probably take him, regardless of what Klis says. The door is open on potentially taking QB, just remember that. I think Saquon is the obvious target beyond that, but Bradley Chubb/Minkah Fitzpatrick could also be had.

AKRNA Posted March 13, 2018 Share Posted March 13, 2018 I just can't see Elway using a large chunk of our cap space on a QB, then using our #5 pick on the same position. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So we trot out Keenum, Rudolph? Lynch or Kelly at the QB spot? That's one more bad season away from Elway's seat getting pretty hot. He will have to do something to fix that QB spot and I don't think anyone is under the illusion here that Keenum is the long term answer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They think keenum will help him. Lynch will be kept because of dead money why not keep him. We'll see Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
