I know Darnold has a problem with turnovers though. Both with INT's and fumbles.
You think that problem will be corrected when he's playing better competition in the NFL?
He's also going to most likely play with a shitty offense. [Reply]
I love how Donko fans still think they have Wade, Ware and Ward...and are only another Manning (Cousins) from contending for another SB. That $30 million "dream" QB has never won more than 9 games in a season...
Living in the AFCW gutter for at least 2-3 years.... [Reply]
Manning sold off 31 of his Papa Johns after ending it's NFL sponsorship...two days before it was announced.
So NOW you are starting see what Superbowl 50/NFL is really about...tough pill. Manning was hugging his cash cow after that fake victory...then ducked out. Beautiful world..
They are going to go to irrelevant when they cut Talib in a week or 2....then Chris Harris is gonna want out. He already voiced his displeasure when Ward was let go.
Derek Wolfe is one hit away from retirement and possible paralysis.
Their coach is terrible.
No quarterback is going to save them...especially behind that OL. Cousins had 26 combined fumbles and interceptions last year, behind a good OL...) Darnold is overrated and turns it over a ton. All the other QBs have a fatal flaw.
No TEs
SofT OL.
They may lose Barrett and Ray is coming off IR.
Old WRs.
Elway can’t draft or spend effectively in FA. [Reply]

Yeah he turns the ball over, but Manning threw 27 INT's his rookie year and he was able to get it out of his system with experience.
Darnold just looks awkward to me. Not just in delivery but his overall play. He moves erratically - and plays that way.
Allen is smooth, but doesnt have great pocket presence. Obviously has a cannon and looks the part, but he hasnt been super accurate or productive before. Not only that, but he doesnt have great field awareness. Is he all of a sudden going to find accuracy and game sense in the nfl? Questionable.
Then Mayfield is short, cocky, and doesn't do anything particularly good. He had a lot of clean pockets and time to throw at OU. He also played basically only out of the gun. Accurate when he has time, but can he do it under pressure and in tighter windows consistently? Also how is he going to handle adversity- growing pains in the nfl? Will he handle criticism? I dont know, seems like too much of a hot head to me. [Reply]

Broncos Actively Shopping Talib But Cornerback Wants Say
Spoiler!
Broncos’ general manager John Elway and San Francisco 49ers general manager John Lynch were engaged in trade talks about Talib, according to the source.
It’s unclear how close to an agreement on compensation had been reached, but the parties appeared to be making progress until the cornerback balked.
ESPN first reported the possible Talib trade to San Francisco but that he declined and stated a preference of returning to the New England Patriots.
Still, New England is one of several teams the Broncos have engaged in Talib trade talks. Although the Broncos hope to deal Talib by the start of free agency next Wednesday, there is no rush to move him because none of his remaining contract is guaranteed until 53-man rosters are set on September 1.
The trade market appears strong enough for Talib that the Broncos are not expected to release him, as he may hope. Officially, Talib has no say in whether he is traded or to whom.
But as a practical matter, Talib has leverage because no team would want to surrender a player or draft pick as compensation unless the player they are trading for is happy with the arrangement.
Besides stating a team preference, Talib may also be seeking a new contract. He currently has a non-guaranteed $11 million salary in 2018 and $8 million in 2019 for an average of $9.5 million per year.
