I agree with you regarding Shurmur.I'm still not a Fields fan so I am glad we passed. Especially with our current coaching staff. No way Shurmur has the adaptability for a QB like that.
What about Fields don’t you like?

I can’t imagine that lack of effort in such a critical situation went over well in the locker room. While we’re at it get rid of George Payton for not taking Justin Fields.
I hope. Big money on Denver and Tenn tomorrow.BobbyLayne said:Interesting takes on your GM. 6 rookie starters and the RB, OL, 2 LBs and CB are all good to great. Tough crowd.
Anyway....if you don’t blow out Detroit by 30 Fangio s/b fired immediately. With the injuries, 6 on Covid, 25 flu cases, zero healthy playmakers....this should be a cakewalk for Denver.
While we’re at it get rid of George Payton for not taking Justin Fields.
If it’s Cousins Payton will be run out of town. He passed on Fields and now he has to go big.
No!
This season has gone exactly how I expected with Teddy. Very average and boring. Imagine how much more exiting things would be with Fields. Now we may or may not get Rodgers and we are going to have to pay dearly for him if we do. He may decide to quit after year one.
I agree with you regarding Shurmur.

This is like saying "Care to comment on Elway now?" after Elway's first season. Manning still has the record for most interceptions in his first year. I get it, these guy's had better pedigree but they still looked awful year one.Care to comment on Fields now?
Or was that ####-show he put on so exciting it took your breath away?

I still feel sick the Broncos didn't pick Fields. He may end up being a bust but right now I see a guy who has everything I want in a QB. I would have loved picking Fields and still have the option to get Rogers next year if we choose. I'm not exited about mortgaging the future for Rogers who could dip out at anytime. I'm not exited about getting Wilson. He seems more like a cheerleader than a true leader to me.
I'd rather win a Super Bowl organically rather than buying one like we did with Manning. It was fun but I didn't enjoy it as much as I did when we won it with Elway.
Agree with the majority of this.As I said in the game thread--this is a young team, flush with cap room and draft picks. They locked up the WR corps with some key signings of Sutton and Patrick and don't forget Hamler will be back next year with Jeudy. The future is bright, but the off-season has a pretty big to do list. Denver needs to see the ownership situation resolved. The coaching staff needs to be assembled and a decision made about the QB position. I do not want Big Ben or Ryan. I would be happy with Wilson and to a lesser extent, Rodgers--just not sure there is a savior coming in this draft.
This will be an exciting off-season.
Two problems with Watson:Agree with the majority of this.
Thoughts if Watson clears up his civil cases? I say bring him in if his legal problems are resolved.
I can't argue with either point.Two problems with Watson:
Houston's asking price is so outlandish, no one will bite on it. You have to wonder if he does clear up his legal trouble, if he doesn't stay where he is, despite what his team has said his desires are.
Second--Paton is supposedly a "high character" type guy, so you have to believe he will not even consider Watson with his baggage.
Not a Denver fan but it would be great to get them out my conference.Welcome Nate, Aaron and Davante!
Patrick and Sutton just got paid. Doubtful Adams is signed. I’m betting GB tags him.Welcome Nate, Aaron and Davante!
How will Aaron handle being the 3rd best QB in the division?Welcome Nate, Aaron and Davante!
Gotta figure he knows or is at least reasonably sure he’s getting Rodgers if he jumped on Denver instead of getting to hitch his wagon to Lawrence.Tom Pelissero
@TomPelissero
The #Broncos are finalizing a deal with #Packers OC Nathaniel Hackett to make him their new head coach, per sources. Contract talks heated up Wednesday night. The #Jaguars planned to interview Hackett again today. Instead, Denver lands its top choice.
Probably SUPER wellHow will Aaron handle being the 3rd best QB in the division?
Defensive talent shouldn't be an issue. Paton killed it in the '21 draft with Cooper, Browning and Sterns. Chubb was out more than half the season. During the season they picked up solid ILB depth with Young, Weatherly and Kiser. Jewell and AJ will return. Secondary and DL should remain solid.If Aaron ends up in Denver does that defense have enough talent to be a force again in FF (team defense)?
Love the new thread title, btw.Well. one bullet in the gun is gone now.
If Wilson comes off the table as an option, I am really worried about the future for this team.
When you are forced to go to option C and the name Trubisky is being thrown around, trouble is assured. But a reality series with him and Drew as roommates would be widely entertaining,
theme of the title is fineThink this thread is about to change....
good point....the way the AFCW is looking right now, drafting/acquiring DB's will likely be a huge priority for all 4 teamsWith the way the AFC West is shaping up drafting Pat Surtain looks a whole better now then Justin Fields.
He would be by far the richest owner. Nobody else will be able to outbid him.Report: Rob Walton to submit bid on Broncos north of $4 billion
Rob Walton, of Walmart, intends to submit a huge bid on the Denver Broncos on Friday that will make him an immediate favorite to purchase the franchise
The sale of the Denver Broncos is heating up with Walmart co-owner Rob Walton intending to submit a bid of more than $4 billion on Friday, according to a report from the New York Post. The bid would instantly make him a major contender to purchase the franchise and become the next owner of the Broncos.

They'll probably add a RB and TE as well.Well this off season is going well. Two OL picks. They have addressed the loss of Shelby with the signing of Jones. I was very happy to see them re-sign Jewell. The Gregory signing is a little scary, but I remember feeling the same about Ware and that turned out well.
On to the draft to get some CB/safety, more OL depth, an edge rusher and possibly LB help.
Looks like a done deal.Walmart heir Rob Walton will buy the Denver Broncos with a winning bid of $4.5 billion, per
@Forbes
It will be the most expensive sale of any sports franchise

Four names had emerged as lead partners of those four groups, according to a source: Rob Walton, Josh Harris, Mat Ishbia (GO GREEN) and Jose E. Feliciano.
Rob Walton also announces that Mellody Hobson is joining the ownership group.Did this pass the Rooney rule?
I still Kind of wish the Broncos took Fields. We would still have all of our picks. We wouldn't have to worry about shelling out a monster contract for a few years. We'd still have Shelby Harris and Noah Fant. The arguments against taking Fields is it's unknown how good he'll be. We know what Wilson is. I'm looking at this long term. I loved watching the development of Elway. I think it would be fun to watch the development of Fields. Speaking of long term, We would have Fields for at least 10 more years than Russ. I also think Fields will be more fun to watch since he is younger and more athletic than Russ at this point in his career. If we were just talking the next five years give me Russ all day. If Fields ends up being a super star then it was certainly a mistake to pass on him.Care to comment on Fields now?
