It’s all good. If I misinterpreted the subtleties I apologize for butting in.

Just seemed like a straightforward comment. I missed your humor or nuance apparently....

[FR Tim]

From Payton’s comments above, it doesn’t look like he agrees with your opinion.

Perhaps the young man has some value after all....

[FR Tim]

I am thinking he is just an inexpensive camp leg until they find a better option this summer.

But who knows, maybe after several years and teams he has found his place in the league.

I find it odd to rely on such an unknown player in such a critical role. But have to defer...

[FR Tim]

That would be a really good question. Lol

My progression of that question is what would be the offense using those strengths when one of his strengths is declining and not as effective as it once was. Can he be converted from a duel threat QB to more of a pure passer. My point continues...

[FR Tim]

What similarities of the two QBs are you thinking?

I see two entirely different players. One that was more of a pocket passer that rarely was a running threat. He processed defenses and routes with great accuracy. Including quick slants, utilized RB and middle third patterns.

Released they signed Elliot Fry as the new K. Who??? is likely the first question.

Career camp leg. Only 4/5 on FGs and 5/7 on PATs. Seems a really odd choice. Can not wait to hear the comments justifying the selection. Or maybe he is just a camp leg on the roster until they can find...

[FR Tim]

I would hope he is capable of improving on last years underwhelming performances.

I agree with many of the comments that the coaching incompetence led to many of the flaws with Wilson and the overall offense.

But I also continue to hold Wilson accountable. There was a reason...

[FR Tim]

Designing an offense to put Wilson in position to be a freestyle and thrive in is the question though. Wilson still needs to excel.

Wilson still needs to make pre snap reads, still needs to assess correctly, still needs to make the correct throws. Can he?

I understand the speculation...

[FR Tim]

That would put the kicker salary among the league’s lowest. Only a few under $1m. With the league average being about $2.5m.

Perhaps they get lucky with a budget kicker. IMO you get what you pay for. I would prefer a reliable kicker that doesn’t screw the pooch in pressure situations....

[FR Tim]

I hope he has a great year as much as any Bronco fan.

But it does not sit well with me that he realized he had to make such a dramatic change in fitness and attitude. Speaks to the casual commitment he made to a team that traded quite a bit for him. And a community that embraced him. Why...

[FR Tim]

Correction… the Broncos are “hoping” they can do better for less.

None of those elite kickers are on the market or coming to Denver. Last tryout had a mediocre Maher and a couple others that have never kicked in the league. Not sure if any others scheduled to tryout.

I had forgotten about Dixon returning. Had to look up the signing.

He was not listed on the team roster I looked at. My oversight. Thanks for the assist....

[FR Tim]

Found it to be an interesting move. Not sure how it saves much though. $5m salary/ $2.5m dead cap and still need to sign a new K?

Did see they are bringing in Brett Maher tomorrow for a tryout.

ex Cowboy, was K for Payton in N.O. a few yrs ago. Seems like a fit if he has...

[FR Tim]

Puzzling decision. Most reliable offensive player for several seasons and not really declining much. Appreciate his contributions. Guessing it came down to cost cutting. Hope the decision does not come back to bite them in a critical situation with a new kicker.

So currently the Broncos...

[FR Tim]

Payton was making a joke about DiNucci getting a job at Walmart. Payton apparently was talking him up before practice to Penner. Then he threw a pick in front of him. No big deal.

Basically he is a nice backup instead of relying on an UDFA. Stidham is not in danger of losing his QB 2...

[FR Tim]

Honestly I will believe it when I see it. I am tempering my enthusiasm until he is actually consistently carrying the ball 20 times a game and looks like the pre- injury Williams we all love.

Payton actually used the word “ hopeful” in his comments. They don’t know if Williams can...

[FR Tim]

I would consider that first week against the Raiders as close to must win as any.

From a motivational standpoint it would be a devastating loss. All the hype and goodwill of Payton, a new and improved Wilson and a sense of hopefulness that the Broncos are finally making headway goes down...

[FR Tim]

It is still to be determined if Payton can scheme our current RBs to be similar to Kamara and Ingram. Perhaps more specifically elevating a RB like Pierre Thomas. Or Wilson to put up Brees like stats.

I am certainly hoping he can. That is the point of paying so much in picks and salary...

[FR Tim]

I am not feeling comfortable with the current RB situation either.

Williams is an unknown. “ If healthy” is a big risk. I would prefer they give him time for full recovery and rehab. Rushing him back is a bad long term decision IMO. Put him on PUP list for first half of the season to...

[FR Tim]

Broncos are also bringing in a Dlineman from the International Player Program.

Just read this morning, not familiar with the program details.

How bad could it be? Haggai Ndubuisi 6’7” 320 lbs of long shot motivation and effort. Good luck young man....
