Fixed that for ya. Because, lefts face it. With 23 points in 3 games down the stretch last season and that 9th win that you're so proud of coming off of a Carr-less Faders team, that is more hopes and dreams than reasonable expectation. [Reply]

We know what your team will do....suck monkey nuts. Denver is one of the least talented teams in the AFC. Poorly coached too. [Reply]

I'm trying to enjoying smacking the Donks about with you, but your continued idiocy and Smithian nonsense make it very, very difficult.
Oh wait...
Oh shit...
We're you...
No.......................
We're you implying that the NFL would put Alex ****ing Smith on the bump-up?!?!?!?!?
Holy Shit; I have now heard it all, yes. Every single, last, ****ing, idiotic, Smithian, nonsensical, rambling ever created.
Looks like I've triggered little "daddyhater's" rage...let it out..let it out. :-) If you were bright, it wouldn't be this easy to bounce you around...
Just remember....Geno Smith #1 overall. Those are your words...not mine. [Reply]

Ware will be missed, especially the leadership... we have good depth there though. Wade. Yeah, so you and others said something like "look out, Wade's teams suck in year 3". And, now it's like a 24/7 Mr. Bill moment "Oh noes".

"If I were bright" says the fool who implies that not only is the NFL rigged, but that THIS IS THE YEAR that the Manchurian Football League COULD PLACE ALEX SMITH IN A SUPER BOWL DUE TO THE...what was it again?
The lack of quality QB's?
The NFL needs a new storyline?
Question:
What brand of machine do they use to keep you breathing, and how many times a day does the nurse have to come and wipe your ass, Terry? [Reply]
And as to Geno and the myriad other prospects that came before him, you can thank QB1 Death Cult and CP for pushing the 1st round QB narrative for well over a decade, getting the concept spread across the KC fan intrawebz, and beating that horse until the idea and correlation between said round QB's and SB wins FINALLY became apparent to Lil' Chiefy mouth-breathers such as yourself, fool.

You’d take him, right?
Well, Broncos fans, you got him.
That’s right, when you compare the 2016 stats of Trevor Siemian to every other first-year starter in the last decade, the Broncos’ quarterback ranks in the top third of just about any passing stat you can drum up. Ranking in the top 10 of many and in the top five of stats like yards per game, fourth-quarter comebacks and 300-yard games.
Oh, and did I mention that those numbers were accrued with a pretty significant shoulder injury? An awful offensive line? No running game?
The thing about Trevor Siemian is he’s better than you think.
“Uhh, most definitely,” said an adamant C.J. Anderson of that very notion. “You know, I was arguing with some of my boys the other day—we put up Matt Ryan’s rookie year and put up Trevor’s ‘rookie’ year, the stats are similar. You know, I’m not saying he’s going to be Matt Ryan but…”
People have this misinformed idea that Trevor Siemian is not, can not and will not be good. There are folks on the radio yelling in your ear that he’s already reached his ceiling, twitter users roasting his arm strength at every turn and writers penning “game-manager” all over the young quarterback.
Anderson, another player who was doubted early in his career, thinks it’s most certainly about draft position.
“That’s how I feel,” he told BSN Denver without hesitation. “Us low-round or undrafted guys just have to prove that we belong, compared to the high-round guys proving that they were supposed to be that pick.”
Maybe therein lies the issue, instead of looking for greatness in Trevor Siemian, people are looking for failure. It’s time, though, to start looking for more in 13. After all, he is closer than anyone on the planet to becoming the Denver Broncos franchise quarterback, and sometime during this season, it’s quite possible that the team could make a long-term commitment to the former seventh-round pick.
Broncos fans, it’s okay to get behind Trevor Siemian.
Put aside your love for tall, athletic-looking quarterbacks, your too-high standards for quarterbacking in Denver and any preconceived notions you have about what a QB can and cannot be. Allow yourself to see that Trevor Siemian’s young, young career is actually on a pretty promising path.
During the preseason, Siemian has averaged eight yards per pass attempt, that would have been good enough for top five in the NFL last year. His adjusted completion percentage—which accounts for dropped passes, throw aways, spiked balls, batted passes and passes where the quarterback was hit while throwing—this preseason is an eye-popping 100 percent.
Sure, you can chalk that up to the measly preseason or cite small sample size but what if, what if *gasp* a second-year starter could actually improve? What if it’s absolutely ridiculous to claim that a player has reached their ceiling after one year of starting in any sport? What if that guy who somehow keeps winning the starting job in Denver could actually end up being a damn good quarterback in the National Football League?
Go ahead and give Trevor Siemian the benefit of the doubt, because here’s the thing about Trevor Siemian, he’s only just begun.
Nobody in this division will have it easy this year. The Denver will be crap talk is not warranted. They have a strong roster still together. I doubt they just all of a sudden suck ass because Wade and Ware left. [Reply]
