It’s a competitive division again, so honestly it’s really tough to predict in what order the top three teams will finish ahead of the Raiders. Also, I believe in Broncos fullback Michael Burton.

kiimo posted:If the Broncos are a bust again do you think they blame Russell or Payton Roster’s got serious depth issues at WR and O-line (at least on paper). Russ definitely chilled with the “let’s ride” media blitz and dropped like 20lbs. So he’s at least put in the work so far. It’s really going to depend on how Russ looks and what Payton can do with the team he’s been handed. I think culpability/pressure looks like: 1. Russ 2. Joseph 3. Paton 4.

Russ did fine. Like…not a “put the game on your shoulders” performance. But he played…fine. What’s missing? I hate everything.

Withnail posted:No he didn't, he was complete poo poo. He doesn't even looks like he wants to be playing. He was 27 for 34, with 2 TDs and no ints. Decent QBR. He was also far more mobile than at any point in the season last year, and looked good when out of the pocket. He wasn’t the reason the Broncos lost that game.

The more I look at it, the more I’m convinced the Broncos are just a team without any depth/dynamism. Paton mortgaged the team to get Russ, it backfired, we’re stuck paying for it for five years. Playing “fine” is okay when you have the rest of an actual team around you, but Russ doesn’t and that means if he doesn’t step up, there’s no one else. We saw flashes of that with the bombs to Mims. But…there just isn’t enough playmaking ability on the rest of the squad and definitely not on the defensive side of the ball outside of PS2.

This thread is a land of contrasts. LiquidFriend posted:More or less I think that's why Payton is making 0 changes. Make it painfully obvious to the owners it's time to rebuild. Chris James 2 posted:Which is fun because I don't think Payton wants to be around for a rebuild and Russ won't make one easy Also, “rebuild” is not a plan. Rebuild how? Into what? On what time horizon? More importantly, my point is that we need to hear it from one of Penner/Payton/Paton.

What’s the plan if Broncos pick at No. 2? We 100% don’t start a rebuild with a receiver. Move back and grab some extra picks or what? Watching the Tim Jenkins breakdown today and he’s not kind to anyone.

solarjetman posted:That the Broncos are screwed for this year and next has been fait accompli since around week 5 of last year. They just traded too much for too little, and ended up with a roster with very few players whose output is above their market rate. If every Bronco was a free agent next year, who would get a higher salary? Surtain, Meinerz, maybe Bonitto or Mims. Jerry Jeudy being a bust didn't help either. Agree. Russ continues to play mostly “fine” which simply isn’t good enough to take the cap hit in ‘25. And, as you said, we were planning on being awful for the next two years anyway. People need to knock it off with the “so you’re saying there’s a chance” playoff talk. Accept Russ’s cap hit as a sunk cost and move on. Find a cheaper guy to play “fine”, rebuild the rest of the roster, and stay on the lookout for options at QB. Worth noting that Paton and Russ are the two big names still left from before the Lewis Hamilton acquisition. So with this move, I expect both to be gone next year, unless they can’t find someone who is willing to do whatever Sean Payton says. waffle enthusiast fucked around with this message at 04:27 on Dec 29, 2023 |

He's proven time and again that he can ball. Not to mention, he's a pillar of the community. If our current ceiling is 8-9, draft receivers and/or o-line so we can do better! We're gonna be scrappy for years to come either way; what is the harm? You gotta be more subtle here.

Chiefs were +600 in August to win The Big Game, the best odds of any team going into the season. They were +128 going into the Bills game, which made it close to a 50/50 bet. “No one believed we could do it.” Everyone. Everyone believed you could do it. It was highly believable.

YOLOsubmarine posted:I don’t think the Broncos were getting much in season for Jeudy or Simmons. Simmons is old and not on a very friendly contract and Jeudy is underwhelming. Yeah. Moving Jeudy clears cap, makes room for Mims, and gets us a couple of late round picks. Everyone loves Simmons but he was too expensive to keep through a rebuild. He has little if any trade value, so cutting him also gives him the ability to sign with a contender. These were both solid moves. Next question is what happens with Sutton. https://x.com/suttoncourtland/status/1766576206952943626
