Anthems and Protests ---
While we certainly understand the frustration by fans on all sides of the discussion, we have decided to keep the Broncos Country message boards separate from politics. Recent events have brought the NFL to the forefront of political debates, but due to the highly emotional and passionate discussion it tends to involve, we think it’s best to continue to keep politics and this forum separate. Yes, the forum is meant for discussion, but we’d like to keep that discussion to football as much as possible.
With everything going on in our country, it would be nice to keep our complaints and cheers purely related to football here. If you feel passionately, there are plenty of other outlets available to you to express your opinions. We know this isn’t the most popular decision, but we ask that you respect it.
Thank you for understanding.

His QBR was 82 for the year, and was only that high because of feasting on some really bad defenses.
The "He played for a bad team" excuse is paper-thin. Yes, he had less than a 50 QBR vs. teams like Alabama, SC, and Georgia but when you look at his numbers vs. UT Martin (a FCS team) his QBR was 87 and it was 82 vs. Oklahoma State.
You're right, the talent that is on your team has absolutely nothing to do with a players success. Just wished Haskins went to my alma mater, Colorado State, so we could've competed for a national title last year

Yeah, that doesn't hold weight. You can't have poor QBR vs. an FCS team and say he had it bad. Mizzu vs. Unversity of Tennesse of Martin and Oklahoma State's defenses show you all you need to know.

A two game sample that you cherry picked is all I need to know about the player. Good to know...
Cam Newton & Mitch Trubisky. I don't understand why people diminish his accomplishments because he played on a good team. So did a ton of QBs picked in the 1st round. He made the best of it too. He broke Brees' BIG10 single-season TD and Yards records, he hung up 6 TDs on the #1 defense in the NCAA. He got better as the year went on and was calling all of the audibles in a very complex system by the end of the year.
I hope Lock works out, but I have zero faith in Elway's ability to select QBs in
Cam Newton has been the definition of a mediocre NFL QB. He can't throw at all (because he uses all arm and no lower body) as soon as his legs go he'll be out of the NFL. I'm a UNC fan, and this is a make or break year for Trubisky. He has absolutely not been a success in the NFL thus far. He hasn't crashed and burned, but he hasn't been the QB they've wanted either.
It's great that you love Haskins, how do his numbers compare to Tim Tebow in the same offense? The system is so complex and intricate, and an NFL training ground, has Meyer developed 1 successful, long term starter in the NFL? You could argue Alex Smith, but he's been pretty much a middle of the road QB his entire career. So again I would question your belief in Meyer's system.
I have zero faith in an Urban Meyer QB turning into a good to great (or better) NFL QB.

Haskins QBR was 84. He had 4 games with QBR over 90. Lock had 6........

So tell me where Elway has drafted a QB a good as Smith.
Well I can show you his under 50 QBR vs. real teams but you'll cry he was on a bad team.
What do Haskins numbers look like if he played for Mizzou? Are they competing for even a SEC title? Stop pretending like OSU isn't a much more talented team and it didn't aide immensely in the success of Haskins last year
No secrets I was higher on Jones than I was Lock but he wasn't far behind. I think Lock is going to turn out to be a very good QB. Will he make mistakes??? Absolutely, Brady makes mistakes, Rogers makes mistakes, etc etc. He won't be perfect but he'll be what we need, imo.
