And zero progress throughout the post-Peyton years. In some alternate universe they actually drafted Josh Allen. But in that universe Josh was probably a bust because they couldn't develop him and they turned it over to Teddy Bridgewater anyway. 1 minute ago, mannc said: He richly deserves it. He's a guy I actually feel sorry for. Just in over his head. Nice guy, fine assistant/defensive coordinator, but not cut out for this. Actually I don't know if anyone can succeed there until Elway gets the hell out of the way. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mannc Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 I’m jealous of the Browns’ ability to just pick up 2-4 yards at will by handing it to a running back up the gut. We have to resort to trickery, or Josh Allen heroics. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 For those of you fortunate enough not to see the Broncos frequently (I live here) ... I hope you get to see Drew Lock. You know how I mentioned that alternate universe where the Broncs selected Josh? You'll see the poor man's Josh. Not quite as big, not quite as athletic, not nearly as big an arm (but still big), but mostly a victim of horrific coaching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Frankish Reich Posted October 22, 2021 Share Posted October 22, 2021 Broncos are basically the pre-McBeane Bills. Never miss an opportunity to miss an opportunity. Now Vonn Miller goes down. Should've been traded in the offseason (think: Dareus). Should've drafted a QB in the Greatest QB Draft Class Ever (well, so they said). Instead they got Bradley Chubb. And about half a dozen CBs. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would argue that McD & Bean totally screwed up, on paper, Allen's rookie training camp, preseason and first half of the season. It wasn't until they brought veteran QB's into the room and cut useless WR's Holmes & Benjamin (how many TD passes did he drop - 3?) that they started to do right by Allen.
