Broncos news megathread

[ROYC75]

Discussion: All things Broncos.

UhOh!!!!!!!!!!

[RealSNR]

And look, I like MHM, but he's part of the problem.

He's quick to react to evidence that the Broncos are bad during the regular season, but when it's the offseason? PGM and several others mock the big moves the Broncos make and he usually scoffs at us and says, "it can't get any worse."

I'll bet I can find one of those posts from this past offseason. He probably had several during the offseason of the Wilson trade.

And he'll probably have one or two this next offseason. "Look, mathematically it's just not at all likely the team will be worse..."

Believe, MHM. Believe in your team's suckitude. It is some powerful shit. Browns and Lions fans see what you're doing and think to themselves, "Damn, that's impressive"

0-3 at HOME, playing 3 .500 or worse teams.

And "One of the worst coaching jobs in NFL history" just came into your place with Zac Wilson, not Aaron Rodgers, and cleaned your clock.

[New World Order]

Knowmo is a butt****ig moron

[DRM08]

ESPN gave Russell a 20/100 QBR grade in the loss to the Jets. That's pretty rough.

Sean Payton is nothing but an XXXL clownsuit. Still don't understand why the donx gave up a premium draft pick for that fat ****.

Also, I HOPE they get Payton. Highly overrated and burned out coach that wants personal control…but he was flat out terrible at personnel decisions with NO and it’s easily the reason that team was crap for as long as they were.

Just look at the dead cap money every year he was there.

Same argument I made against Dorsey.

I’d be concerned if Harbaugh went to someone in the division, though.

He only got 1 Super Bowl out of a long career with a first ballot HOF QB.

As a Chiefs fan, outside of them hiring Bienemy (which I think will happen) that’s absolute best case scenario.

Every Chiefs fan should hope and pray Sean Payton is the one to orchestrate that.

I’ll dig up those dead cap numbers soon. I remember it being a talking point when Clark fired Dorsey.

That’s one of his requirements is to buy the groceries and cook the dinner…but the only thing keeping him from being a losing coach innNO was a first ballot HOF QB. His signings were atrocious. His team consistently had 20-40 million in dead money.

He had like 3-4 years there where about 25% of his teams salary cap allotment was dead money that was paid to players they ended up cutting and left the team crippled. NO is STILL dealing with the aftermath of that…they have almost 37 million of their salary cap this year inndead money.

Dead money is a direct result of poor FA (internal or external) signings that had to be cut before the pro rated part of their signing bonus came due.

If Sean is the Denver HC, guys like Jewell will be getting 20m aav and cut 2 years later, regularly…and the “Great Value Owner” is no different than Snyder I’m Washington in that he’s clueless to the workings of the sport and thinks he can buy wins…so he will be a perfect mix of Sean wanting to give out big signing bonuses and the owner writing the checks.

And it would take their first and maybe one of their 2 thirds to trade for the right for him to burn them from inside the building.

Not even close.

Even in 2014, 26% of the teams cap space was dead money from 4 bad deals.

Last year, NO had 43m in dead money and this year had almost 30.

That would be exacerbated with an owner that “demands results” and a HC/GM that loves piling up dead money bad decisions. Especially with a lame duck trash QB soaking up tons of resources.

Those are all super bronco homer reporters, too. Looks like them setting up the old “the saints wanted too much -2 firsts- and we weren’t willing to go that high”….when in reality, Sean doesn’t want the job unless the paycheck is absurd.

I’ll say this

If Denver ends up trading a first and their original third for Sean Payton, they will be debating which trade was worse (WalRuss or Payton) 2 years from now ss both moves have big time complete bust potential.

1st 2022 (9th overall)
2nd 2022
5th 2022
1st 2023 (5th overall)
2nd 2023

Shelby Harris
Noah Fant
Drew Lock

For a washed up old quarterback with no passion for the game

Or

1st round pick
Early 3rd round pick

For a coach that 75% of his job is to take 8 years off WalRusses career and get him to play like he’s in his mid 20s again…

Is funny to watch it possibly happen.

It’s going to be fun watching Sean Payton screwing up Denver’s cap so bad they will still be cutting players after he’s fired and WalRuss is gone just to keep cap compliant…while accomplishing nothing while he coaches them.

Too bad SEan is likely going to Houston.

Your team will trade its 1st and original 3rd for Sean Payton.

Russel Wilson retires in 3 years after never playing in a single playoff game for Denver snd getting benched after the bye in the third year.

The team will have gone “all-in” on the Russel Wilson experiment and has 30-40m in dead cap owed the next 2 years after that for poor roster discipline. Sean will use the owners $ to lure in guys to keep early cap hits low and will max the cap every year snd in 3 years, all that “funneling salaries” stuff that happened/is STILL HAPPENING in NO will repeat the pattern in Denver.

That’s Denver’s reality.

Dan Snyder 2: electric boogaloo

It’s gonna be glorious to watch while KC wins titles.

Cheers

The other team called in condaleeza rice to help them find a HC, thinks they have a good GM, an owner that has all the money in the world but no working knowledge of the NFL that thinks it’s easy to duplicate what’s being done in KC and has no problem firing people immediately.

Get used to Walmart trying to make their “Great Value Chiefs” and it never working out.

Maaaan….I really hope you guys get Sean Payton.

I’m as happy as KnowMo.

The WalRuss/Payton combo is easily the most overpaid combo in league history.

I can’t wait for the “WalRuss has dropped 15 pounds and has rededicated himself” posts of false hope to fill Bronco fans heart.

They are like the great value, clearance rack Chiefs.

KnowMo is probably already understanding the reasons I gave why I wanted Sean to be their coach. Here’s a recap of the plan…

They had to trade for him.
The owners are so incredibly clueless about football (I likened him to Snyder) they wanted to sign the Great Value Andy Reid so they could “hand the keys over” and let them do their thing.
Sean blew it many years with a HOF QB every year *in the conference that didn’t have Brady in it*.
Sean believes you can buy titles. He overpays everyone in FA and will be backed by WalMart $$$. That’s like storing the fireworks with the matches. Sean DESTROYED his teams chance at titles damn near every year with his inability to let anybody else negotiate contracts. His dead cap hits made John Dorsey smile.

Sean Payton is going to be just good enough to get Denver to 7-8 wins next year…and every Chiefs fan will love it. Stuck in perpetuity in the middle of the pack for 3 years while WalRuss eats up the cap.

Then.

Next season….

They have barely any FAs that are young. Bunch of old guys you just know Sean will pay to stay because he knows nobody is coming to Denver unless it’s to be overpaid.

Period.

Watch a guy like Josey Jewell get top of market $$$$ out of nowhere.

A little trip down memory lane for ya, kid!

5 weeks into the season Denver has lost to their FORMER...
1. Head coach Josh McDaniels

4. Ball boy Mike McDaniel
5. Former head coach Nathaniel Hackett

Chiefs interested in trading for Frank Clark per Chris Jones, his price would be 1.2 mil this year if we were to trade for him

[BossChief]

KC has absolutely no need for a DE.

[Pitt Gorilla]

Simply enjoy this thread from ONE WEEK ago.

Russel Wilson is playing better. Is it enough to keep him as our QB in 2024 and beyond?

Fans of bad teams always think that it can't get worse.

It can always get worse.

[Eleazar]

If my calculations are correct, Denver has allowed >750 rushing yards over the last 3 games.

HARD pass.
