It's really hard to be really good at one thing in your life, and it's almost impossible to be really good at a second. John Elway was a really good quarterback. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thenorthremembers Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 It makes complete sense for them not to take a Quarterback this year. Lock is terrible, and their coach is a lame duck. With the new GM in place, they need to wait until they hire the next coach to grab a new QB, that way the entire organization will be aligned. If you take a QB this year you screw with their development once you fire the coach in the offseason. I am not sure the move makes a ton of sense given that the best case scenario for them is 3rd place in their division. If Lock throws up on himself it does give Fangio some sort of saving grace. But the end result is going to be the same, at best they are a 7 win team who win fire their coach at the end of the season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At this point, it's almost a certainty that one of the top QB prospects will land in their lap. If not all the way to #15, they will at least be able to make a minimal trade-up without being forced to mortgage the future. Atlanta is financially stuck with Matt Ryan for the next two seasons. I think all the QB rumors are a smokescreen. Cincinnati is obviously not taking a QB. Miami is very unlikely to take a QB, after drafting Tua #5 overall just a year ago. Detroit is a possibility. But those who follow the Lions are convinced the front office believes it can salvage Jared Goff. Carolina just traded for Sam Darnold. Denver's move for Teddy Bridgewater really crowds up the QB room if they are looking to draft one. Dallas is not taking a QB. New York (Giants) is not taking a QB. Philadelphia is a possibility. But the GM has suggested they are giving Jordan Love a real shot at the job. San Diego is not taking a QB. Minnesota is not taking a QB. Then you have New England, in prime position to ***** up Justin Fields, Tre Lance or Mac Jones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I totally get what you are saying BUT if the Broncos don't want a QB this year then with Von Miller coming back and either Lock or Bridgewater as QB they will win just enough games to keep out of the QB draft position for the next couple of years. It seems to me they are in "QB Purgatory" and IF they are going to draft a QB then the Bridgewater trade was foolish and they should of waited until they picked to do it IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheFunPolice Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 He did just as good, if not better, than Brees with New Orleans when Brees was out for a handful of games.

appoo Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 Broncos have too much talent on offense to waste away with Teddy bridgewater and Drew Lock.

ColoradoBills Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 24 minutes ago, Chaos said: What is Trubisky's trade value at the moment? Interesting question. Spotrac has his market value at $8.3M which is somewhere between bridge and top backup money. My guess the best draft wise would be a 4th. Maybe a little higher right now with the low contract cost. If a starter or two go down from a decent team in the summer it could definitely be a 2022 3rd. I know everyone and their dog expects him to find a home next year but I'm not willing to see that as a fact. If he can't find a decent suitor as a potential bridge/starter next year and the Bills pony up a few more million he might want to stay another year.

The Frankish Reich Posted April 28, 2021 Share Posted April 28, 2021 (edited) I like Bridgewater. He's a fine NFL QB, kind of in that 25th-30th best QB in the world, in kind of a no man's land that guys like him inhabit. Sometimes a bridge (hah!) starter, sometimes a really good backup in waiting. When he started for good teams he was good. 5-0 with the Saints in 2019, 100 QB rating, etc, etc. When he started for bad teams he wasn't good enough to make them playoff-competitive. So he'd be a really nice addition to some teams, but ... not the Broncos. Oh sure, if he plays he'll take that team - which does have talent - all the way from 5-11 to 8-8. Maybe even 9-7! But that's not gonna get them past the Chiefs unless Mahomes is out, and probably isn't gonna get them past the Chargers either. And that will have the Broncs picking somewhere between 15 and 23 next year or some such thing. It's called QB Purgatory (thanks for that one, Doug Whaley) and we all know how it feels ...
