this isn't the compliment you think it is. -
I think compensation factors in. What would Cousins take for a contract? What does Minnesota want in return. I believe Goff’s $ factored into draft choice compensation. If we take on the $ the draft choice should go down.Comment

That's because there aren't any good alternatives. I don't think it's a stretch to say we're in a really bad spot. I'd much rather roll the dice with Lock, ride or die, and then look at the draft next year. Maybe move up for a Pickett this year, but I'm not sold he's the answer either.Originally posted by Shellback88 View Post
because there is no "answer." Just a buttload of questions.Comment

I think what you have here is good. Lock is a QB that can start, has shown improvement and can start. A good coach should help out tremendously!Originally posted by TEKO View Post
And, we own the #9 pick with lots of draft capital. Developing our own QB is a great idea.Comment

Irrespective of what we all "want" to happen, I think this is what's most likely to actually happen. Lock is the starter in '22. We may or may not move up to get Pickett (I sorta lean towards not, but will probably draft a QB somewhere in the draft), but I think Lock is our starter. Get an offense that plays to his strengths (I do think he'd do well in a Shanahan-style system where he can get out of the pocket and throw on the move), build the o-line through the draft, and see if the kid can actually hack it. We've probably seen enough, but maybe he'll surprise us.Originally posted by Shellback88 View Post
At least then we know what we've got.
Rodgers or Wilson aren't coming here. They were never coming here. Time to move on from that particular fantasy IMO.

Putting this into perspective, 33 TDs is 13 more than our QBs threw, that’s 91 points or 5.3 additional points per game. If 5 points were added to each game, the Broncos win 4 more games and tie the Chiefs for the best record in the division.Originally posted by The1percentKid View PostComment

No doubt the Browns game…one of the Raiders games. Thats a huge impact on multiple games.Originally posted by Tangerine View PostComment

Hard no - we’ll be hard pressed to find 10 wins on our division and can’t afford a QB who could potentially miss a game over Covid. Availability is too important to accommodate these anti-vac tools.Comment

It's pretty funny you think vaccine status is going to amount to anything next season. It's essentially useless against the new variant. Wasn't much better on Delta.Originally posted by Samiwindr View PostComment

Its not about catching it. Its about how long you have to stay on Reserve list.Originally posted by BroncoBeavis View Post
Currently and can change at any time. Vaccinated players can test positive and play that week. Unvac players that test positive have to wait 10 days.Comment

We are in AFC WEST... Cousins type of QB won't work here.. he is unable to defeat Rodgers.
Here, we are having 3 QB's .. BIG NO.. Draft a QB , Develop him or get Rodgers or Wilson.Comment

Which is all absolutely ridiculous and once the Big O has swept the country and shown how ridiculous it is, I can't imagine the major sports grasping this straw for another year.Originally posted by ceh View PostComment

God that's bleak. I am going to hold on the the Rogers dream for a little longer just to get me out of the winter. Maybe in the spring I can face up to a Cousins lead Bronco team.Originally posted by The1percentKid View PostComment

You're absolutely right - it should be endemic by the time next season rolls around - should have put more thought into my post before firing it out. That said, I'd still be a hard no for the fact that he could have cost his team a playoff spot this year. There is no I in team. And yes, I feel the same way about Rodgers.Originally posted by BroncoBeavis View PostComment

You know Patton is going to go hard for both of them. There is a reason we are interviewing GB's offensive coordinator for our HC position. The chance of landing either is pretty small though. You better get a plan B ready.Originally posted by go_broncos View PostComment

I agree... Will not trust Rodgers..each day he keeps changing.Originally posted by Drunk Monkey View Post
Hopefully, we can atleast get Wilson. Wilson with our offensive weapons will be deadly.
If both are not available, try to get the QB in first round.
if you couldn't get the QB you like, then get Cousins or Garoppolo. Price will be huge(might have to surrender 1st round or multiple picks). with this option, you are pretty much out of playoffs(unless some lucky bounces)Comment

It is going to be funny if the 49ers win the super bowl with Garopolo after spending 3 1sts for Trey Lance .
Just who do they keep.....? Do you trade away a super bowl winner QB? You can't keep them both for another year?
And do you get 3 1sts back for Lance without him showing much of anything...I think not.. unless it is THIS year with a poor QB group in the draft.
If 49ers win it all, Lance may be the traded player.
As far as Rodgers goes.....He has to win or at least get to the super bowl this year...put up or shut up time. Home field advantage, and if he doesn't get
there this year, then what? He isn't getting younger and the super bowl is the goal. His contract gets huge next year. Maybe GB will trade him if he loses,
but if he wins it, he isn't going anywhere soon. And if he doesn't his value goes down, and he still has the ability to say no to any trade.
Wilson isn't moving anywhere yet. I think he stays in Seattle. Watson in Houston stays there for now. He needs to get back in football .
Cousins might make the Broncos a better team, but he likely isn't a guy that can go all the way. I don't think any of the college QBs this year are worth trading UP for.
Likely Lock stays for the next year unless something odd happens. Placeholder for 23.
As far as coaches....I don't think any defensive minded coach is going to be one that will help the team get better on O.. We need an offensive coach that can develope whoever the QB is we end up with. Broncos are starting a real rebuild.

Yeah, I have zero interest. Rodgers, you'd be crazy not to leap at the chance, even if he's getting massaged by all of Deshaun's unvaccinated 'therapists' all at once.Originally posted by Samiwindr View PostComment

Agree... That's the reason we should not go after Quinn.Originally posted by Scottxray View PostComment

Nice post. I’d love to see Shanny win the SB. Doubtful. We will see who Paton hires as HC. May give insight as to whether or not he’s all in on Rogers. Hackett could be great even without Rogers.Originally posted by Scottxray View PostComment

Rodgers is a 3-4 year rental ala Peyton. We'd probably get another Lombardi out of it, but we'll be right back in QB hell again. I'd rather have another great draft this year and save up more draft capital for a blockbuster move up next year than spend 3 first rounders on Rodgers.Originally posted by BroncoBeavis View PostComment

Also what concerns me w Quinn. Let’s look at history. Quinn gets Shanny. They go to SB. Perfect scenario, except they lose. Next season Broncos (Ellis) pass on Shanny Jr and now he’s been to a SB on his own. Quinn was fired w SarkisianOriginally posted by go_broncos View Post
Andy Reid, McVay, LaFleur, Taylor etc have offense covered and replace DC. BTW, we had LaFkeur and Taylor in for HC/OC type interviews I believe and didn’t have the chestnuts to go w younger offensive mind. We blew it. Do t want to do that again.Comment
-
It will be dependent on the HC/OC they bring in. If they bring in someone from the McVay/Shanahan trees then it make sense to think about Cousins or Jimmy GComment

Taking shots at prospects is far from a removal from QB Hell. I'll take the 3-4 year reprieve before we get back to the lava rivers and pitchforks again.Originally posted by Samiwindr View PostComment
