Maybe they're bracing for 1 or both QB's to get hurt at some point behind this line. Why wouldn't they be looking at getting better linemen in if they felt the guys they have are so bad or need an upgrade? They dont think the line is that bad like fans do, they are looking for an additional QB to increase the experience in the room to more then a historically bad half of an NFL game He was a higher rated QB in his draft then the current starter on this roster, he was believed to have starter potential compared to tapping out as a backup Edited September 3, 2018 by apuszczalowski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hang on Tom---They're bringing in Peirmann for a tryout. Great speed & hands of stone--can't catch sh*t. But, the QB can drop back & loft it 3-4 times a game---might get a penalty flag.

If they can develop Peterman, and heck maybe Lynch on the practice squad or something, they have trade chips. Just like AJ McCarron, I think this is a case of collecting assests to maybe make some sort of trade in the future. Tyrod fetched a third. So did Bridgewater. McCarron got a fifth. I think this idea makes sense. Lynch needs to be rehabbed and has to put down the PlayStation controller. But there is still potential there, so I am okay with it. It's about collecting assets. this is about what i was thinking as well. coach this kid up and put out some rumors that he is really buying in and studying hard. then flip him for a draft pick or a depth player. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dezertbill Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I love this move. LOVE it. First off, Lynch is only 24. He has only played 5 games in two years. He had a great first game his rookie season, then the wheels came off second game vs. a great Falcons D where he was sacked six times. Last season, he was sacked 9 times in two games. That's 15 sacks in 3 of his 5 starts. Denver's OLine isn't anything to write home about either. First off, he is 6'7 and 244 (Allen is 6'5, 237) Both are athletic for big men and can move their feet. Both have strong arms. Watching the preseason game vs Cardinals last week, you can definitely tell this guy has lost his mechanics. With Lynch, the video I attached you can tell he is very jumpy in the pocket. There were many throws where he never really set his feet, nor his body angle. He was just throwing it to get rid of it. Secondly, he would look downfield for a second or two then just dump it off to the back. His feet again on most of these throws were not set. But you'll notice on this video he made some pretty amazing throws. One at the 1:50 mark where Lynch scrambled left and against his body looped the ball to the WR. IT was an impressive throw that he made happen with his athleticism. He made some other pretty nice throws as well. You can also tell he is very athletic escaping the pocket and moves well on his feet. His ability to move out of the pocket on a few plays reminds me a bit of Allen. The problem with Lynch was he was thrust into action his first season and he wasn't ready. His very first game his rookie year he had a 94.1 QB rating. He came off the rails against a good Falcons team. I'm sure the pressure of being the first pick and being viewed as the savior of the Broncos weighed on his since they had no one else on the roster who could play while he sat and learned. The more they lost with the other QB's, the more the pressure was on him to be ready. He was just never able to grow into the position naturally. That's why Peterman is starting for Buffalo. Because McD knows Allen isn't ready. Why rush him and create a situation where he learns bad habits by getting thrown to the wolves ALA Lynch. As for Lynch, this is a fresh start for him where he isn't expected to come in and be the savior of a franchise. He can come in and work with Daboll, who I'm sure will help him with his foot work similar to how they helped Allen. He can just sit and learn, which he couldn't do in Denver. In this league, you can never have enough QB's. McCarron is an example of this. Just for having him on our team we got a 5th round pick. If Buffalo can turn Lynch around and get him to drop some of his bad habits this might be a steal of a player. If not, no harm no foul cutting a 3rd QB on your team. http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2018083051/2018/PRE4/Broncos@Cardinals?icampaign=scoreStrip-globalNav-2018083051#menu=gameinfo|contentId%3A0ap3000000957320&tab=videos 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brianthomas Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) Some of these posts just go to show the duplicit nature that comes with being a fan. Getting pissed at our staff for doing their due diligence on a 6'7 246lb athlete, drafted in the 1st round. Yet if they didn't at least take a look at him, fans in turn would be pissed we didn't bring him in for a look. I'd rather our staff took as many opportunities as they could, to find players for this team, as opposed to the opposite of not taking those chances at all. If you had to throw a bullseye on a dart board, would you want only 1 dart or would you want as many darts as possible? I don't see anything wrong at all with bringing Lynch in here for a look. It doesnt mean they plan on trading Allen & making PL the opening day starter. Theyre just bringing him in for a look, that's it. I don't get why people get so worked up over these things.

gonzo1105 Posted September 3, 2018 Share Posted September 3, 2018 I like it for the simple fact he can be another trade chip down the line even if he can be rehabilitated into a good backup. You saw in the preseason multiple backup QBs go for mid round picks. It’s good asset management especially with the QB position. Do i I think he’ll ever be a starter? I doubt it but he isn’t being brought into do that. A couple QBs go down and all of a sudden with the lack of talent at QB we might get some calls Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
