Trevor was doing great last year until the wheels fell off the cart. The OL was trash, RB's went down one after another and a street FA (who retired this offseason) came in and was markedly better. Our HC who was also the OC was in the hospital and Elway shut him down for a week. This alone was tough on the young QB's, John made Kubes give up the OC duties for his own health. Broncos also lost Wade for a game and then he had to call the next game from the booth. Trevor wasn't the only problem.

Since they redesigned the Rookie payscale it doesn't hurt to miss or have to develop a 1st round pick for a couple years as you are not stuck paying a guy the top of the payscale for being a 1st round pick. Lynch is still a cheap option for another couple years, they can keep him to develop him unless the other 2 great picks John made push him off the roster.

Speaking of the other 2 QB's John hit on Sloter, dude is smooth, can run the O, has a solid arm, great footwork and mechanics and works well in the pocket. I could see him being elevated to the 2nd QB job if he keeps playing well this PS.

Kelly is an unknown but he has as much upside as Lynch, his pedigree is better but he is kind of a head case. I can't wait to see what he can do next TC.

If John ends up moving or cutting Lynch it is only because he hit on a couple other lower round guys and they pushed him off the roster.

Love that our OL was playing average to above average at times Sat. Trevor is going to have more time to push the ball downfield this year. Bolles had some flags but he did well otherwise, he is a rook after all and none of his flags hurt the drives.

Throw in hitting a home run with Henderson and CJ back to full speed, if Charles flashes anything this week they are going to have a tough decision on cutting a good RB.

Like I've said, Elway can't draft offense to save his ****ing life

DENVER BRONCOS

Garett Bolles, OT: The Broncos' top draft pick was expected to help shore up their O-line woes, but he contributed to the unit's struggles with three holding penalties and a false start in the first half. While most rookies need some time to acclimate to the speed of the pro game, Bolles' flag-happy play is a huge concern for Denver heading into the regular season. Grade: D

Strike 2 on the 1's

Lazy writer being lazy.

Bolles did have the 4 flags but he was not getting beat on the other plays, he excelled in the run game and held up well in pass pro. A couple of those flags were also tickytac. You have to take into account this was the crew that threw a flag with like 5 guys listed on both teams being named for infractions.

They can clean up the flags, it is PS and he is a rook but he is the best LT we have had in forevers.

This was a brilliant post. Really, just spot on.

You're right 4 penalties in about a half of play is no big deal at all. He played just fine.

Not to mention, the 49ers edge rushers are nothing to write home about. Just imagine when he's lining up against Ford/Houston, Mack/Irvin, and Bosa/Ingram.

Only 4 huh?

Denver is lucky Mcdaniels drafted Demaryius and Sanders was available in FA or else Denver's offense might be the worst of all time.

Elway's drafts especially on the offensive side have been dumpster fires.

None of those flags cost them points.

You guys are going to have nightmares featuring De'Angelo Henderson this year. If Charles does end up getting cut it will be because of this stud.

He is like reek with out all the abusing off the field.

After 2 preseason games:

"You can't crown Mahomes after 2 preseason games against what were largely backups. He could still crash and burn."

"De'angelo Henderson looks like a monster! This guy is a stud! He's going to give you nightmares!"
