Phil is the friend/hype man we all need

Edwin Espinoza

Good job guys, nice enjoyable show ๐Ÿ’ฏ

Mellow Devil

No more bridge QBs unless they can get out after 1 year.

    jonathanpeterson1

    Lock and a rookie. Let them battle it out.

Brian Trujillo

you guys are hilarious!!!! he missed by a planet… cracked
me up…

Brad D

If dead set on qb please trade down, none are worth #9. Better to go ol, dl, edge or safety @ 9.

Eric Oakley

If Munch is so terrific why not more results, he was great in Pitt but seemed real average in Denver..

    Spanish Rice

    cause the line was average, the Broncos really didn’t go all out in drafting on offensive linemen which made Munchuck job alot harder

Scott Luthy

Broncos had the chance to draft josh allen. A big time miss. Allen is great.

    Patrick Smith

    Get over it already. ๐Ÿ™„

    Big J

    That’s even assuming the Broncos could have even developed him. He struggled heavily his first few years and I don’t think the Broncos had the coaching to pull him out of that struggle

    northcackalacky

    We drafted Paxton, when Dallas wanted him!
    They had to settle for Dak?

    Cowgirls were happy they got CeeDee, just after we drafted Jerry!!!!
    We could have had Josh or Quenton instead of Chub, but that’s the way the football bounces sometimes???

    Alexander Koch

    Thanks, Captain Obvious!

Draft a young QB to sit behind Drew Lock for a year. Then you get to see what we have in Drew and you get to prepare a young QB in the event Drew doesn’t work out. But….Give him a chance to prove himself.

    @jonathanpeterson1 Okay I’ll give you that one but he was also very very very hot and cold. My issue is he’s either making All-Pro plays or just forcing it or making inaccurate throws. This also comes to my main issues at hand which is A: Pat Shurmurs offense was straight garbage and we ran the ball too fucking much and didn’t have any spicy big plays. His record is 19โ€“46 btw B: I don’t think Lock is a great leader because we have a lot of young weapons that need some damn direction.

    We’ve gotten a good OC who tries to play to players strengths and weaknesses. A HC who was a former OC so offense actually has some direction. I still don’t think Teddy or Lock is the answer though because they’re both lackluster in their own ways. Our team is straight STACKED with talent and we just need a QB to lead them which more than likely means a trade or FA. Russell Wilson or Aaron Rodgers for the love of God if you’re reading this please come here ๐Ÿคž

    @Damon Mitchell exactly! ๐Ÿ’ฏ

    stevebs2001

    @jonathanpeterson1 Exactly… the previous regime set Lock up for failure. They started Teddy 2 yards just to play not to lose. They had no intention to develop Drew. Hopefully the new coaches will give Drew a shot

    Shawn Bauer

    I do think Lock will get alot out of our new coaching staff. He’s about the same age as all of them. Much better connection

    Shawn Bauer

    If they keep both Lock and Bridgwater, I don’t think there first pick will be a Qb, unless they end up getting draft 1 or there QB of choice is still there at there pick. If so either Lock or Bridgwater won’t stay. I think Lock has the edge

Francisco Joaquina

Phil is so sad. Next time you should both be able to attend. “My everything” should not be separated by the miles from his co-pilot.

Jim Toft

A joy, as always fellas. Hey, am I wrong to be a bit concerned about an all rookie staff (at oc/dc/hc/teams/others)… it seems like other than 1 year by Clint Kubiak, they will all be in their first year at their perspective coaching positions.

    Shawn Bauer

    I actually think it will be a good thing. There all about the same age and I’m sure they all see things the same, Kubiak included. I don’t think it would be happening if it wasn’t the right thing. Once we start winning, we will be winning for many years in a row. I truly believe in Paton and I’m glad we have him! I’m looking forward to our draft!

    Shawn Bauer

    I do see where your coming from though. I’m sure Gary Kubiak had “say” in his son’s dissision!

Mo Everythang

Phil in โ€œ exactlyโ€ hahahahah

Mo Everythang

Gold zone hahahaha like saying Broncos nation the way Phil established it ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ˜ญ๐Ÿ‘โญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธโญ๏ธ

Mo Everythang

Never been more happy Hackett as a coach wish he was my dad Paton the Goat we in the right hands

DeeperLlama

Sounds like Paton has completely moved off of Lock at least thats what i got from what he said. Wonder how he would react if hackett thought Lock was salvageable and the best option for this next season?

    Jovannie Rodriguez

    He is not salvageable though.

    DeeperLlama

    @Jovannie Rodriguez So you’re sayin you won’t support Hackett if he thinks Drew still has upside… bc as a fan I would just have to trust our new coach knows what he’s talking about personally

Raydalaybay

IF NOT RODGERS THEN DREW LOCK 2022!!!

Mandango_Dan

At first I thought Phil would be Jar Jar Binks, but looking at you two side by side, I gotta go with Phil as C3PO and Arik as R2D2. Arik the solid, reliable one and Phil in a panic, arms flailing.

Justin Varner

We need wade Phillips back at DC !

Mylow K2

You guys were on it on this one. lol!!
See, the passing game…you sort of coordinate it

Matambale

Phil: you gotta stop ticking off the wrong people! Not going to the SB? What?

James Worthington

If we can’t get Rodgers or Russell than start over with the draft and lock
