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.

Not hard to put good numbers up against really bad teams.
So you are confident that our other QBs would have done better?
Your logic is kind of a lose lose situation. Even if you do well, it doesn't matter. And the 3 victories had nothing to do with you. But the 2 losses must be your fault.

We would have have been 3-0 going into the Ravens game with Lock.
A Spark is Needed Somewhere and you cannot tell me that Brett Rypien is any Worse than 15 Yards per Quarter Teddy B. Just Saying.....
I personally agree with what you are seeing as an issue - Offensive production. Where I will 100% disagree is that Brett is the answer or that changing the QB is the solution to that problem at the moment. IMO - the issue here is two fold. One is that our offensive personnel are not well suited for the majority of the packages which Shurmur is putting on the field. Guys are too slow to run the routes he has mapped out and therefore it is taking too long for them to develop, we are seeing pressure come at our QB from all angles from opposing defenses and perhaps the most egregious is that we saw 12- personnel (2- TE plays) work really well for us in PS when we had a TE on either side of each OT. We've almost completely moved off of that come the regular season.
I would propose moving back to the 12-Personnel packages with TE's on each side of the OTs. The hope here is that it would allow for run plays to better develop and allow for the OL to better block these more challenging offenses. Both TEs could on any play break out and catch a quick pass by design OR as another outlet pass along with the RB. This can also allow us to add in PAP and force teams to play us our way and stop having us needing (and as of late failing) to adapt as much to our opponents style of play.
The second issue for me is the flow of the play calls. They are predictable and far too easy to plan for, We need to plan out and execute the play calling better.
Sadly I know what I am suggesting here is NOT sexy football. I do think that by running that 2-TE set more and running the 3 - WR sets less frequently we can start to protect Teddy better AND start to own the TOP again and win more games. I for one will celebrate a gritty unsexy Broncos win over a sexy looking Broncos loss every time.
There’s a good reason NO and Carolina moved on from him. Carolina decided to go after Sam Darnold instead.
New Orleans’ reason is named Drew Brees. He retired a year too late for Teddy to stay. Teddy would have at least remained to compete for the job if Brees had retired a year earlier.
My Opinion isn’t determined by what the Popular Opinion is. Sometimes I agree with the Majority, Sometimes I Don’t. If My Opinion is Different than Yours, I have to Ask One Question:
You Mad Bro?

If Bridgewater was a great quarterback in the eyes of NO they would have figured out a way to keep him. Even accepting the Brees as the excuse to not retain him in NO, Carolina could have kept him if they believed he was the answer.

Also, given what NO knows about Bridgewater, and how bad Carolina wanted to get rid of him, why didn't NO pick up the phone about Bridgewater?
Bridgewater's not a good QB, he's not a "victim" of all of these circumstances out of his control.

Teddy was poor in Carolina. Sometimes it doesn't work out. We don't yet know what the future holds for him in Denver. I think NO may also have been attracted to the potential upside that Jameis Winston brings, especially at low cost.

Well that begs the question, why wouldn’t Denver be interested in the upside potential of Winston? Maybe because Sean Payton is a better coach.
