I've seen enough in Pre-season to know 3 things.

If Case goes down we have someone that can play and learn
If Case goes down we are screwed anyway
Thus, there is no effing reason to waste a roster spot of a 3rd QB, again.

Yep...Paxtoon Lynch is a career killer.

Why does everyone assume the worst case scenario. Out for the season. There are other scenarios just look at Philly (2017) and Oak (2016)

Worked well for Philly and not so well for Oak in 2016. Tenn missed the playoffs by one game in 2016 . Marriota broke his leg the same day Carr did.

Bringing in Bridgewater would be monumentally stupid and completely unfair to both him and Keenum

Though it would solidify Lynch's departure. So thats something.

but I'm on board with just letting Swag be #2

Same. We don’t need Elway screwing this up by adding another guy. Kelly has the talent to trial by fire if necessary

What if Lynch was part of the trade? Gets him off the team, and we get a great insurance policy. If Kelly is that good, then he should be beating out any and all competition anyway right?

Cutting Watson torpedoes that I think.

Bridgewater wants to start, and he’s be too expensive as a backup. It’s thankfully not gonna happen

Lynch is going to get cut, nobody will trade anything of value for him

It'd be close, but the Watson IR/cut only adds about $1m to our cap. I don't think we have the space either way. We're sitting at just over $8m free right now and we tend to keep $5+ in roll over.

Drunken.Broncoholic2 · 08-20-2018, 12:49 PM

If they bring in Bridgewater, he might as well start. That’s a “doubting” Keenum move. When healthy Teddy is a starter not a back up.

This FO can’t believe in their own decisions.

Wrong. He’s average at best

Not all 31 starting QBs in this league better than him.

He can start on a team if healthy.

Just not here thankfully

Well let’s hope not. I don’t want to see a 6M back up when Kelly can at a minimal rate.

This Watson thing is interesting though. That’s why I asked if he will count on the cap if IRed. That’s moving money to Teddy’s contract.

Teddy would never sign here, period. He’s not going to willingly sit behind Keenum again

It wouldn’t be up to him if it’s a trade. Which is what it will need to be.

Jets aren’t just going to release him.

If Bridgewater makes it known that he has no interest in being the No. 2 with another team, said other team may not want him. Which would keep him on the roster in New York.

I think this is all just media, fabricated crap.

That’s the problem that arises. Teddy may be low tier but he’s above back up talent.

Someone will have to go down in injury across the league, and then that trade works.

What’s the story about this Alexander Johnson? Looks like that one STs play got him a 3 year contract today.

Horsefacer GM made a terrific mess out of this roster and coaching staff.

UnAcceptable

Elway the GM has to go....

underrated29 · 08-20-2018, 01:31 PM

Or maybe they are looking at bringing in a DB. Why would it have to be a QB, with the watson move. btw teddy aint going to be coming here. We do not have to worry.
