They haven’t had total trash at QB behind those lines either. Start Siemian on that team and suddenly that OL looks worse. We even saw a small bit of change when Brock was in there. QBs have direct impacts on their OLs, along with the OL players themselves. They need to improve, but it’s not Seattle/Houston bad like some claim.

![]() You’re the one who said Brady would get slaughtered behind Broncos OL. They are SB contenders with Brady and the broncos OL. Even Carr made Watson look better. I’m among the most pessimistic here and even I believe the OL will look completely different than last 2 years. |

Using Brady or Manning, the two most cerebral QB's of the last 25 years, to suggest that the O-line is just fine if we only had anyone else but Siemian...doesn't really do much for me. Let me know when we've got the next Manning under center, and I'll share in your boundless optimism. |

![]() Siemian gets bashed a lot, but I think he’s a smart guy and a serviceable quarterback. He was able to absorb knowledge and apply it to his play better than any QB we’ve had on the roster from Manning til now.
Serviceable QB play isn’t anything any team should strive for. Second string Is a different story. I think Trevor makes a competent backup for any team. His job will be what he does best. Study the offense, be used only when necessary. He will be some franchise’s Kubiak. |

![]() Well... he lived in the shadow of a #1 defense, put up unspectacular stats, needed a historic choke job by Marcus Williams to get a playoff win, reverted back to a scrub against Philly, and then was shown the door.
They could make a movie about those low INTs though! |

![]() Was it Keenum or really the Minnesota defense that choked during the playoffs? Defense sure didn't look that great against the Saints game and continued their dismal performance against the Eagles.

![]() Both. It was a team collapse. Minny's defense was suddenly human which meant the offense had to go into shootout mode. Keenum and his o-line were exposed. The end.

![]() It was the Eagle's buzzsaw and they whole Minny team played like crap. It happens sometimes when you can't do anything right. SB 48 is an example.

![]() Eagles were the team of destiny last year, just like we were in 2015. If Roby doesn't force a fumble late in the Stillers game the Manning years would have been dramatically different.

![]() Whatever happened to that QB camp with WRs Keenum was going to put on in Houston
After that minicamp, players will have off for the summer until reporting back to the Broncos’ facility for the start of training camp in late July. Sometime during that break, players will get together to practice on their own. “It’s going to be the receivers, quarterbacks, and hopefully we can get some tight ends and running backs as well,” Thomas said. “Case and Emmanuel [Sanders] are out in Houston so we’re trying to figure out where we’re going to throw this summer.” Should be hearing something about it soon Last edited by Drunken.Broncoholic2; 07-12-2018 at 11:05 AM.. |

![]() You can't say that. Who knows how the game played out. There was 8 min or so left after that(don't remember the exact amount but there was a lot of time left). There isn't a SB winning team that didn't get a play go their way that if it went the other way would have changed the outcome of the season.

![]() If we consider "it" to be a passing camp. Per DT they were going to have all the QBs, receivers, TEs, etc. Instead it was Keenum, Sanders, an UDFA, and a guy who isn't even a Bronco. Very inspiring.

![]() Excellent example. Prior to his preseason fallout, Sanchez was being praised like Keenum is being praised. Great command of the huddle, leader, etc. I'm still waiting for a positive quote or compliment about Keenum's ability after the snap.

![]() Heard on a podcast that Case is one of only 3 qbs to ever have a positive rating while being under pressure. Football outsiders tracking. Only goes back like 10years. Interesting still.
