Yes/No as he only has a $5 million cap hit if cut next offseason so they could take a kid to groom behind him. Just now, Virgil said: Damn, a 6th and replaced by Darnold.  What happened to this kid? He was only a game manager prior to his injury in 2016 and think it cost him development time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Justin C Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 The Broncos always seem to be a year off when it comes to drafting QBs. And from what I have read next year's QB class is not as good as this one. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GunnerBill Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Darn it, darn it, darn it.  My final mock which I am finalising to publish in the morning included the line "The Broncos have talked about competition for Drew Lock but I don't believe it comes in the first round of the NFL draft. Much more likely is a trade with the Carolina Panthers to acquire Teddy Bridgewater to allow the new GM to assess Lock in 2021 before taking a decision about the future at the position."  They stole my thunder!!! 3 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

To be fair to ELway, Chubb was rated much higher than Allen as a player and the thought of him paired with Miller made a ton of sense at the time. But yeah, I’m sure Elway can’t be happy in retrospect. As are several teams that passed on Allen, I’m sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was right in the Broncos' own back yard. But for some reason, for the first and only time in his life, John Elway decided NOT to draft a big, strong, fast kid with a howitzer for an arm -- only to turn around the next year and draft the bargain basement version of Allen instead. I'll never, ever understand it, but will always be thankful it happened. 1 minute ago, K-9 said: To be fair to ELway, Chubb was rated much higher than Allen as a player and the thought of him paired with Miller made a ton of sense at the time.

But the old adage that unless you have a franchise QB, all other needs are secondary would seem to apply here. Clearly, they didn't think Allen could be a franchise guy, and they obviously weren't alone. Oh well. The Bills were the beneficiary of that wrongheaded decision. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

whatdrought Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Right, cause why leverage a top 10 draft pick to move up and get a real shot at a star QB for your amazing roster when you can get Teddy Bridgewater. ***** you elway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When you have Case Keenum, you gotta draft a DE, so you can Trade Keenum for Joe Flacco and Drew Lock and then get destroyed on National TV by the QB you passed on.   2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wppete Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) What’s Teddy’s contract like? I feel it’s expensive for a backup?  We got a stake in Mitch Trubiski.  Guess he really did want to be near home, his family lives about 2 hours from Buffalo.    Edited April 28, 2021 by wppete 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BigAl2526 Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Somewhere, sometime, Denver fans are going to hear John Elway say, "We have to QBs capable of starting."Â Somewhere someone is reported as saying, "If yout have 2 starting QBs, you don't have any. Â Of course the main effect for the Bills is that it removes one of the mail obstacles to New England trading up to pick a QB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BuffaloRebound Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 I actually think this makes it more likely the Broncos take a QB in 1st round. Â Bridgewater is at the Tyrod stage of his career. Â 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
