The contrast is astounding and so very sad on ALL them!
Peace Power n Progression ✊ 1
I will truly miss Von Miller I was shocked and still am hope they do something good with those draft picks
@Solomon Grundy Haha TF are you on about? It’s pretty simple Chubb is injured, therefore he doesn’t play. Von got hurt in Cleveland, said it wasn’t that serious and he could have came back during that game. 10 days later he still wasn’t seriously injured but didn’t play so he didn’t reinjure himself so he could be traded. It really isn’t that complex buddy. I’m not sure how you’re failing to understand something so simple.
@Not Rusty Shackleford Thanks Miles.
Von didn’t know, good thing you are around.
@Solomon Grundy It wasn’t just me that knew, as you can see there’s the guy above me and there were all kinds of other people and media speculating about it after they held him out but I guess somehow you got left out of the loop.
@Not Rusty Shackleford There must be more than one mascot out there.
I appreciate the reporter asking the confrontational questions. “You said you wanted him to go to a great franchise with a great defense and a great head coach, that wasn’t here?” Gold.
@James Davis So they’re only elite if they’re explosive after the catch? Lol. You need to understand what elite means in regards to their position.
@Jacob Fillinger that is not what I said. I said dynamic. If you look at almost all of the top WR’s in the game….they are dynamic.
They just do not get open and catch the ball – they make things happen AFTER they catch the ball.
Denver, besides maybe Jeudy, doesn’t have any of that from their WR’s or TE’s.
You can continue to think Denver is really talented at the WR position, but you are wrong – unless Jeudy takes a major step forward.
Again, just look at the top WR’s – in almost every case they have speed to beat you over the top and when they catch the ball the real fun begins. Denver has almost none of that. That is dynamic.
By the way, I have probably forgot more about football than you will ever know, and STILL know five times more than you.
Sutton is good to really good, NOT elite. Patrick is solid. Jeudy could be great but hasn’t done enough yet – but he shows flashes of greatness. The ability to get open, to be defenses over the top, and then to get a lot of YAC. An example of Jeudy is the Raider game last year. That is dynamic.
Comprende?
@James Davis well for one, you never said dynamic if you scroll to the top a little. You said elite….2. Not everything is YAC. Sutton is great at going up and getting balls and making that catch other receivers couldn’t. He’s also very physical and a lot of DB’s can’t handle that. Patrick is the same way. Albert O and Fant are faster than most linebackers and bigger than the DBs. Like a Kelce, Waller, Gronk, etc. but apparently they’re not elite, I mean dynamic….almost forgot you said dynamic…
@Jacob Fillinger Kelce gets a lot of yards after the catch. So does Waller. Fant does not.
Fant is not a bad TE, he just is not as good as many Bronco fans think he is. Will he improve? He could. Waller did.
But RIGHT NOW Fant is not close to the top TE’s in football. Watch him play. Mark Andrews is better, Kelce is better, Kittle is better, Waller is better and so are many others.
Just because a guy is big and is FAST in a straight line does not mean he is really good or elite.
As for Sutton, he makes some amazing catches, and many times has to do that because there is very little separation. He lacks quickness and is NOT an really good route runner.
No GM in the NFL would take him over Hopkins, Lamb, Adams, Cupp, Metcalf, Evans, Jefferson, M. Brown, and there are too many others to mention.
The point is that Denver has some good players, but not as good as Denver fans think. If you look at the top offenses in football – look at the WR’s and TE’s. Denver does NOT compare well to those teams at those positions.
@James Davis you put lamb over Sutton? Idk about that….and yea those 3 tight ends are better than fant but no one else.
Kenny Young trade makes more sense now, it was really Von, 6th pk trade for Kenny Young and 2nd-3rd rd picks
True!!
Step 1: accept your shortfalls!!! To build a strong foundation (aka rebuild)-We need to boot Vic, Shurm!!! We don’t need those goofs for this season. Wish my loyalty could be traded, but I bleed orange and blue. Been a fan since Elway was QB, but it’s being really tested over the last 4 years.
The problem, at least MOST of it, is not the coaching!!!! The players are not good enough to overcome a LOT of injuries. Not enough dynamic players.
@James Davis you dont understand football then. The coaching is like 60% of the problem and 25% the QB
@James Davis dynamic players? Everyone was preaching at the beginning of the season that this team was playoff caliber with the defense and weapons on offense. Where did that go?
Broncos pos vida
Fast-forward to week 18: Broncos make playoffs and Rams don’t! 😂
@Tom H bruh 😂
great move, good for Von to join a contender, and we have couple valuable picks, keep going, George Paton, bring us Aaron Rogers next year…..
Russel Wilson
@Fernando ! all day! but do you think they’ll trade him?
Remember that Von said he might come back in a year or two 🧡
I love Von Miller but I’m glad he gets to chase another ring The Broncos did him right!!
We never got to see a full season of Von Miller and Bradley Chubb playing together. Missed opportunitites !
right
2018 only sadly
I know. I feel cheated.
Wouldn’t win us anything anyway lol rather see us with a QB these picks do that
If this leadership group truly sees Bridgewater as a franchise guy we are in trouble and that’s just the truth. Listening to Payton he sounds like he thinks most of the failures of this offense are a result of everything AROUND Teddy. Instead of realizing teddy is extremely limited physically and defenses are suffocating us week in and week out because of it
Think about it, if he believes that the failures are around teddy, then that means the coaching staff, fangio and shurmer, are the result of teddy failure, and we can assume the paten will fire them at the end of the season.
But what’s concerning is that he truly believes in teddy as the QB that’ll turn this franchise around, and that is a big red flag moving forward. I truly believe fangio, shurmer and teddy are holding this team back. But what im confident in is that once we get some new coaching staff, they won’t look at teddy the same way as paten does.
It sure sounded that way
Yessir. Been saying this since they announced his as starter.
People fail to realize Von can resign with the Broncos next year.
No thanks
I’m still 100% behind George Paton. I think he’s doing a great job. Let’s pray he can find a QB.
Idk man… still hurts
RODGERS!!!
@Joshua Perez if we get Rodgers it will make up for it
Glad he appreciates Kenny Young. Do him right because he sure was sad to leave the Rams. I doubt anybody wants to leave the Rams with good culture and a great coach.
What a True owner to let him go to a Winning team, hopefully he can win another ring with the Rams
We are rebuilding, George, and you know it. Just be honest. The players won’t be offended. They know reality.
It’s funny in a relationship how one can end it. Then try to double back and say it’s a win for both of us. This guys just got here and let go our best player. At least when Elway got here he made it a mission to keep Champ Bailey. There is nothing you can say you gave up on the team you built. Your words are def to me.
As much as it sucks and hurts to see Von go it’s actually a win-win. We got more capital for future trades (maybe a QB?) and Von’s season isn’t ruined here, he has a shot at a SB, which he wouldn’t have had in Denver. I would’ve loved to see him play his whole career in orange and blue too but his time here isn’t over yet, there’s a chance he’ll be back in 2022!
No this a good move get out ur feelings
Sucks seeing Von go but I’ve liked what Patton has done so far. I’m looking forward to the end of the year when we fire Fangio and get a new regime started. I wish nothing but the best for Von, hopefully we retire the #58.
Wow, the more things don’t change, the more they will stay exactly the same. When he said the QB of the future could already be on the roster in the summer, he was serious
Best move in long time. He should of been gone long time ago. He plays good when Denver wins. Gets injured when Denver starts to loose. Happens every year
