So Gang...What "Role" Would You Fix First???

[mozzerpete]

They can always dumb things down to the plays he does know.

Maybe they can start dumbing things down for Flacco?

[mozzerpete]

So who then?
It’s easy to say Elway can’t find a QB, but it’s a lot harder to attach yourself to a qb.

Who would you fill that position with?

Sometimes you have to stop trying with certain posters who offer nothing but disdain.

Keep the solutions coming.

Ultimately the fix starts with the Bowlen family.

I agree. They can dumb things way down for Flacco, like “There’s the bench” lol. All sarcasm aside, I would personally prefer to get as much PT for Lock as possible. The more evaluation they can get out of him, the better.

1. Fire current coach and staff
2. O-line, O-line, O-line
3. Trash Flacco and evaluate if Lock is the answer

On paper we look good. Offense: Lindsey, Freeman, Sutton, Sanders, Janovich Defense: Miller, Chubb, Harris, Reed, Jackson, Simmons.

Our weak points are HUGE weak points: QB, O-line, and coaching. Until these are addressed, we will be an armpit of a team

You absolutely cannot fire Fangio right now. That would be ludicrous.

He knows where the bench is located. lol

I think playing Lock is a good idea
but the way the OL (Bolles, Wilkinson, Leary) is playing
I'm afraid Lock will end up back on the IR.

Risner is the only bright spot.
Can we get two firsts for him?

Though the line is bad, there have been many opportunities to step up, scramble, etc. If Lock has the goods, there’s a chance he could use some athletic ability and give us a little hope for the future. If the kid simply looks like too much of a project, then the draft gets a little more interesting. The line is what it is. If we want to wait for the Oline to be fixed, then we’ll have to hide our QB on the bench for a couple more years.

Let’s face it, unless we get real lucky in both draft and FA this offseason, the line isn’t gonna be good for a couple of seasons. Even if they are able to fix it in the offseason, I still think Lock needs as much evaluation as possible so we can have a clearer picture of the draft.

If James can stay healthy the line isn’t too far from being decent. Slide Wilkinson inside to RG. He struggled some at RT but works hard and has upside. Draft a LT using the first or second pick. Risner was a good pick, likely recommended by Scott DiStefano/Bryan Chesin. Let those two have a shot at picking the next LT. This was McGovern’s first season at center, give him off season and camp to hone skills and he might be fine.

Sounds great. Let’s get Lock as much PT as possible and if he can play, then maybe he has a halfway decent line next year.

Agree. Thinking about how to fix it is the only way I can deal with what’s happened with the Broncos.

I’m pretty much in the same boat. For the short term, I’m just hoping to have something to be excited about for the remainder of the season. Also, I think seeing Lock is crucial to assessing the upcoming draft/offseason.

Yeah, if everyone thinks the team now is a dumpster fire just wait until nobody will coach here any more.

OK, but if he gets hurt due to poor line play
then you will have some explaining to do.

If he survives with two workable thumbs
then you can take all the credit.

When can he officially start?

I imagine that with only 32 positions available, the Broncos would be able to find someone to coach the team. It may not be a "hot", well-known candidate but they'd find someone.

The bigger issue is the fact that if you fire Fangio and hire someone else, that would be 4 head coaches in 5 seasons. You can't build anything sustainable nor retain credibility with players moving coaches in and out at that pace. You have to be patient with the coaching staff and give them at least 3 years to build this up. Look at how that's paying off in San Francisco.

[RocketArm006]

I voted QB simply because it is a single position and we have a chance to put in Lock this season and see if he's the guy. O-line is also a huge priority, but it involves several replacements and will need to be addressed in the offseason. We can at least get a look at the QB position this season.

I believe he is eligible for the Browns game.
