Denver Broncos General Thread

[Logos5]

Broncos let go of Wilson and now Cushenberry. They currently have 11 white starters in addition to Moss, Henningsen, and Sanders rotating in on defense.

looks like the Bronco's are allowing more of the TRUE upsiders to start on the field, things are really looking up for this team, wonder if they'll make it to the playoff's

 

[Don Wassall]

Is there any hope that the Broncos will choose a white QB with Russell Wilson's release from Bronco's, or would that break the ESG mould that all NFL teams have to fit into or get fined a lot?

They already have Jarrett Stidham on the roster, who Sean Payton likes a lot. They may still draft one though.

They may still draft one though.

well, I hear there bringing in JJ Mccarthy, who had a really good NFL Combine.

I've been hearing Bo Nix to Denver because of the Drew Brees comp. It's pretty lazy but I get the idea behind it. I don't think JJ is falling to Denver unless they trade up, lots of speculation that McCarthy will be off the board at pick 5 via trade with the Chargers and it's unlikely they'd hand a division rival that pick. So Bo Nix or Penix are both possibilities, hopefully the former.

Hopefully Nix is the guy if the Broncos go QB in round 1.

Broncos could end up being a good team for us this year! If we get a white QB, Riley Moss plays, maybe some TEs, other front 7 guys retain starting positions, and if I recall there’s that former chargers slot guy at WR.

Pratt has been linked to the Broncos as well. He's pretty overlooked - he beat the supposed generational Williams head to head in the 2022 Cotton bowl vs USC

Solid signing to make up for the loss of Jewell

Really hope the Broncos get a White QB now.

The Broncos are getting whiter and whiter, they are clearly my favourite now

Nix or McCarthy to the Broncos would be fantastic.

Glad for this signing, the Broncos are now saying that Drew Sanders is moving to the outside which I'm not thrilled about but at least they'll still have three talented White LBs after Jewell left.

Great signing for the broncos. Barton is severely underrated. I don’t think they miss a beat losing Jewell while at the same time the Panthers gain a very good starter. A rare win-win in the Caste NFL.

Now I'm just waiting for Stidham to become the starting QB and this team will be a forum favourite!

 

[Don Wassall]

Great example of doublespeak here: "Despite fielding Alex Singleton and Josey Jewell as their starting linebackers for the past couple of years, the Denver Broncos have had a significant need to bolster their linebacker room for a long time. Drew Sanders is a young option who is still learning the ropes of playing the position after transitioning from playing the edge. However, his positional future is still up in the air after some remarks from George Paton at the NFL Scouting Combine about him ending up as an edge."

So even though Jewell and Singleton were an amazing dynamic duo of tackling machines unparalleled in the league, the Broncos had a "significant need to bolster" the position even while Jewell and Singleton were starting and dominating. Ok, whatever, nothing to see here, move along. . .

Ah the perpetual myth that any position with too many goys, can magically improve with more affleticism and dat upside.

It’s very early on but Nix seems to be doing and saying the right things. Hard not to root for him. Hopefully he does end up becoming a Drew Brees like player. It took Brees a few years to get acclimated to the NFL game way back in the early 2000s and he came out of a spread offense in college. Nix with his extra year of college will hopefully acclimate to the league quickly.

Some possible good news as Sanders has a chance to play as early as Week 5 if his rehab goes well:

Broncos placed LB Drew Sanders (Achilles) on the active/PUP list.
The report comes from NBC Houston’s Aaron Wilson, who notes the Broncos also moved S Caden Stearns (patellar tendon) and S Delarrin Turner-Yell (ACL) to the active/PUP list. Sanders ruptured his Achilles tendon in late April. Initial reports suggested the team was hopeful he could return before the 2024 season ends. His move to the active/PUP list, rather than the reserve/PUP list, is a positive step in this regard. Should he remain on the active/PUP list entering the regular season, he will be eligible to return against the Las Vegas Raiders in Week 5.

Stidham will start game 1 of preseason and Nix game 2. Nothing against Stidham as he has proven to be a good QB when given a chance but rooting for Nix to take the job and run with it.
