Yea they had no idea Mahomes was going to be that good. It’s not like they traded all the way up from 27 to 10 or anything. The entire organization bragged about how good he looked at practice his rookie year. Get a clue dude.

So, it wasn't VJ who wanted to bypass Mahomes (clearly, if elway didn't even want him...) So, why wouldn't Elway draft a clear upgrade at the most pivotal position?

It appears that the answer is that Elway is the one that is clearly "in over his head."

Exactly. And Alex Smith was, similarly, that much better than Paxton Lynch.

TOTAL BS. VJ was Elway's guy all the way. Ellis is the ONLY thing Elway has going for him. Most all of your successful draft picks are linked to Ellis, not Elway. VJ was indeed in over his head, but the reality of it is, with Manning gone, so is Elway.

That rumor is straight from the horse’s mouth.

Elway didn't have any confidence in Lynch going into that 2017 draft. Proof? He still felt the need to have an open competition for the starting QB job in the 2017 preseason, just to preserve some dignity in case he fell flat on his face. He saw all he needed to see after one year.

He had a way out of that mess, but his real problem was he felt just as trepidatious about the 2017 QB Class as he did Paxton Lynch. He bought everybody else's evaluations of those QBs hook line and sinker, so he passed on it all.

And if that weren't bad enough, when he was REALLY in a prime spot to fix the Paxton Lynch mistake, he made it far worse by blowing his wad on Case Keenum and completely ignoring the 2018 QB class! What for? So he could give dead-in-the-water Lynch another chance? So he could buy time for Swag Kelly to make his glorious entrance to the top?

After Manning left, Elway had multiple outs to get out of his QB hell hole. He had MULTIPLE OPPORTUNITIES to fix the position, and when he made the wrong choice, he was YET AGAIN bailed out by multiple opportunities to fix all those mistakes on top of the hole at QB! He zigged when he should have zagged at every occasion.

Elway was not going to draft a QB in the first round in 2017 after taking one in 2016? Yeah, you're right. It is pretty simple to understand-- Elway is ****ing clueless.

Whats so funny is Denver had the 20th pick in the draft while KC had the 27th. Reid/Veach/Dorsey was smart enough to know there were a couple teams that were ready to pounce on Mahomes from 11 on down.

Our staff made the smart decision while Elway sat there and drafted Bolles.

It makes you wonder if he simply reads the draft magazines and uses them for his big board. I think he's that ****ing stupid, at least as far as QBs go.

It makes me wonder what they're trying to accomplish. I mean, they've been a garbage team for several years. Why not just tank and go for a complete rebuild? It could be that's what they are actually doing, but donk fan certainly doesn't seem to think so. Is horseface really this good of a con man? Is that why he hired Jim Tomsula 2.0?

He clearly preferred Lynch/Bolles to Mahomes. That's elway's legacy.

But you're still stoooooopid.

Sweet Daddy Hate · 08-08-2019, 03:38 AM

Well, we always knew that franchise would eventually turn into a pile of shit. I just never imagined it would be John Elway who would turn it into a pile of shit. That's about as cool as it gets.

Booze and CTE aren't a good combination for long term mental clarity.

BlackOp · 08-09-2019, 03:17 AM

Donks are screwed...they dont have a future QB or a legit coaching staff.

Hoseface will take an extra year before making a move...

This is the worst I can remember the Donkos being...it's going to be a long road with Mahomes in their division.

It's actually poetic...their forum looks like NE's forum will look like in 18 months.

Band-wagoner's jumping ship....ghost-town.
