I honestly don't like D Thomas and haven't for years. Maybe, his numbers suck because he can't catch a damn ball. He drops passes I could catch, and I haven't played football in 15 years. Furthermore, get out of here with that very average weak-armed crap. Siemian thew it all over the field and ran all over the field. Only times he looks average is when the oline decides not to block.
I like Sieman as a career backup. He's patient and smart and unflappable. His arm is weak as hell though. Some QBs can get away with weak arms in the right system I suppose, but Sieman's drags his WRs down with him.
Lol man I was responding to you. You said Trevor was "killing Dts numbers" I offered a valid reason why. If DT would stop dropping easy catches, he'd probably have better stats. Its been this way with him for years and its very annoying to watch.
Manning was perhaps the most intelligent and aware QB in NFL history. He's an example, like Montana, of a QB who could get away with a weaker arm. Siemian is not.
He got beat out by Trevor Siemian - by a wide margin I would add.
Pretty simple - this offensive line is hot garbage. Elway should have been making moves with his DB pawns in trades to help the situation. Instead we have 6 great DBs - and to let 2 walk away for nothing while still having junk on the Ole Line. It was pathetic watching them get blown off the line like that and all year(and in previous years) they can't even pick up 1 yard. Add to it the constant holding calls that put the offense off schedule and it makes no difference who the quarterback is - they aren't going anywhere until they get rid of the Oline except for Bolles.
this....outside of getting Manning to come Denver (which really had a lot to do with Fox as well)...and the other free agents that came here because of Manning....Elway is probably an average to below average GM.....he has swung and missed on two highly drafted QB's and has needed a 7th rounder to bail him out to keep this team an average team....when he decided to give Von the money that the QB usually gets....he needed to be right on either Brock or Lynch.....he misread the market on Brock and should have offered him a contract earlier (before Mannings last season was over)....then tried to jump back in upping his offer but by that time Brock was already pissed.....he then also misread the market on CJA and ended up having to pay more for him as well.....Thomas and Sanders getting paid some serious cash but not justifying it....he has also missed on several olineman in the draft....and sat back at the beginning of free agency and watched anything that was worth their salt at oline (except for Leary) sign elsewhere.....they really needed tackles not guards like Leary....he actually thought guys like Stevenson would suffice...another swing and miss (and a healthy sctratch last night)......problem is, there isn't a QB on the roster to take this team (with a Super Bowl window type defense) very far.....and Elway not going to be able to solve it through free agency by bringing in another big name....cause Von is getting that cash....he hired Joseph to be his yes man and tried to force Paxtun into the starting role, they wanted him so badly to win the job, but he just isn't good enough....
Offenses have been doubling von so reduced pressure and less turnovers. They are still elite, but it would help if the offense would stop turning the ball over and if Shane ray comes back.
All true. The o-line is a little better than last year, but still not good enough.
