Sounds like the Broncos would take a pass on Romo.


**

Kinda makes you wonder what took them so long? We've been saying that since the season ended. Heck, If I remember correctly
back when Tony was saying he would like to come to Denver, we here so NO.

Maybe it is time Elway and the news media check out this site for the straight skinny. **

That was CBS sports the same people with this article. The post reported that a week ago and I thought I posted it. I then asked about Cousins. Today I ask you if the Broncos could trade for Jimmy Garoppolo should they. He will be a URF next season He will make a little over 1 million this season but the Pats have a QB that will probably be the backup next season in Jacoby Brissett who will cost half of Jimmy. why would the pats keep him? again just a thought. I don't think Brissett will be available if he is do we try for him?

Just so you know the Broncos hired another offensive Coordinator this one will be Geep Chryst as TE coach. He was OC for the Cardinals in 2015. That's 5 I think on the Offensive side of the ball. Put those heads together guys and come up with something that no one has seen and take over the NFL for a year or two. Fingers Crossed

at this point all we are looking for is a QB with the ability and the experience to read the defense as the new offense will look something like what Manning ran. Like what the Chargers run. keep the defense on the ball no huddle offense. That McCoy's offense. Guards pull and TE's leading the backs into the hole we may even draft a second FB.

Habib liable to get suspended.


With him being owed 11 million next season and Roby ready to start. I'm not sure Talib is on the team next season. We can hold on to him until June 1st and he will only cost us 1 million against the cap. Why wouldn't we just promote Roby and Webster and draft a DB middle round. We have ten picks.

Now Denver says they're interested if Romo becomes a free agent and drops his salary expectations.

Let the "smoke and mirrors" begin....

Needless to say, losing Talib for any period of time would be hard to overcome for the Broncos, especially now that the team’s offense is in complete rebuilding mode. I disagree with the terminology of complete rebuilding mode. I could see that if everyone on the line got released and we "ate" their prospective salaries. I like coach Joseph's verbiage better "Reboot" or Retool.

I do agree we need to do something at QB Trevor isn't the answer, and Lynch isn't ready yet. Don't want Romo and the other prospects that have been floated as candidates are shaky at best. So, what do we do?

We have an all star QB coach & OC, maybe they can do something because watching what Dennison & Kubiak put together was pretty shameful.

He could do no worse than that idiot Matt Millen did for Detroit. I personally, would have selected somebody that had some actual GM experience. Not saying that lynch cannot do it. He's a Stanford guy which means he actually went to college and "Learned something" contrary to the current crop of college attendees who seem to be more worried about what the social media is saying about the next dumb thing our President does or says.

While I'm all for free speech and "inclusion" I disagree with the let's just let everybody in. I think we know what happened the last time.
"Extreme Vetting" is needed, I wouldn't have broadcast that that was what we were going to do. I think like everything else that he seems to be doing.
It is to gain more fuel to the fire of his HUUUGE ego.

The United States IS the land of the free and the home of the brave. Because of the Brave, we have freedom. Let's not forget freedom has a HIGH price. "Blood".

I don't mind letting people in, as long as they abide by the laws of the land. There is nothing wrong with double checking that the people coming in are not going to turn around and cause problems. And the ban never calls out Muslims specifically and it's only for 90 days. The liberals are media are turning this basically non-topic into a firestorm. Just another temper tantrum since Hillary didn't win. If Obama had done the exact same thing it would have been portrayed in a completely different light. Now, I'm not a die-hard Trump fan. I think he shoots off his mouth too much and severely lacks the social protocol to interact civilly with opponents. However, I can't argue with an attempt to put America's security and well being ahead of other countries, that's the government's job after all. Not to babysit us and give us whatever we want or think we are entitled to.

I don't like to talk politics on this page as I can do so on FB and GET my full of the bull that we all say about it. You are wrong when you say his ban doesn't call out Muslims That was why he did it as his promise was to block all the terrorist from coming into this country and that the terrorist countries would be ban. But Remember he started by saying I Donald J Trump here by call for a ban on refugees from Muslim countries. Only the countries that were banned were countries that he had no businesses in. Sooner or later we all will see that Trump is for himself or he fooled the other half and is a great leader. Someone will say I Told You So. Just on more thing He's not My president but he is President.

Read the text, no mention of Muslims or Islam, just terrorists. The countries banned all make sense. The only one I would probably add is Turkey since they are one of the main conduits and are struggling to control it. The countries on the list represent the biggest threats, any bias aside. Others in the area are making progress and working with us. I expect that over time the ban will be lifted country by country instead of all at once as some may make faster progress in helping us vet immigrants than others. Either way, it's only temporary and has been done many times in the past during times of conflict to help improve national security.

I know that these countries were the countries that then President Obama had on a list to refuse visas and green cards to these countries were affiliated with Al-Qaeda. Now the funny thing is those countries don't have a trump hotel or any kind of trump business anywhere. So yes he places a ban on them just to get that up rise from the people but he can keep his word to people even though these countries have never spilled American blood. He has businesses in the countries that trained the men on 9-11 and not one of those countries are on the list to be banned.

It would be nice to get this guy.


:up: interior defensive linemen and o-line should be the top priorities this offseason. We need options there. The rest of the team is serviceable. QB play may be weak but maybe our new staff can get something out of them that the old one couldn't. I do think we should add a veteran third option at QB and a number 3 at WR but these should be cheaper options. Keep Anderson, Booker and Forsett at running back. Maybe a TE if we don't think we can develop what we have. The offense is pretty bad but there are good pieces here and there.

I like Malik McDowell from Michigan St. he is listed as a NT but at 276 pounds and his speed he could play DE and Nose could fall into the rotation that's if he's there at 20. If not we could get a NT at 2 there are about 6 or 7 projected to be 2nd round picks with Carlos Watkins from Clemson leading that group. If Mike Williams, Corey Davis or John Ross fall to the 20th should we pick them those are the three best WR in the draft. Now there are always sleepers hidden away but these are the way these guys are projected to be drafted. If we go after a FA it's going to cost us more I want to put our money on the line. I don't think our line was the problem entirely. Yes they contributed but I still say the QB will help the line and ours didn't. So bring in a new line and keep the same QB and we may be picking in the early teens next season.

The main reason I blame the o-line more than our QBs is that whoever was under center was running for their life pretty much the moment the ball was snapped. Any extra time that was gained was because the QB was on the run. It's harder to find a target and hit them accurately when you know you'll have to bolt as soon as the ball is snapped every play. I understand the argument that opposing defenses stacked the box since they didn't fear the offense going long but the line should still be able to give more time. Pass blocking is a losing battle. You are going to give ground, but you have to be able to divert that momentum from the defense to the outside to create a pocket. Denver was horrible at this. There was almost never a pocket formed.

I agree with Springs, I think it was a combination of all 3 phases, Line play = inferior blocking, QB play= holding on to the ball WAY too long, and Play calling, We did some seriously vanilla stuff last year. I thought that Sombrielo and his cohorts weren't picking up the bull rush and what's his name? I can't remember, Well, I've seen school cross guards do a better job of blocking traffic.
