Broncos fans might need to focus on their own first rd QB. Paxton Lynch is only in year 3 and he might get cut he’s been so terrible.

I refer one and all to what John Elway said to me the day the Broncos' veteran players reported -- That he liked what Lynch and Kelly had done "in the spring,'' but that he would consider bringing in a veteran quarterback "if they have some issues, and I don't expect them to, but if for some reason we think we need to I'd consider bringing in a veteran guy if the right guy was out there."

PMINT continues to learn and grow as a NFL quarterback. A concerning trend developing in practice was that PMINT seemed to struggle the closer the Chiefs got to the goal line. He seems to do a better job when he has a larger portion of the field to work with. Red zone drills have been where a lot of the miscommunications and interceptions have occurred thus far. Today it seems that PMINT improved in that area quite a bit from previous practices, but it’s still something that needs work.

2nd Red Zone one too. Reminds me a lot of Cutler.
Dude. Why are you so worried? We chief fans sure as hell aren't.
We watched him go into your house in the bitter cold and elude your pass rush all night long and throw daggers all over the field. In his first regular season start ever! With second and third string talent on offense! You saw it, too.
Who cares about training camp interceptions when everyone knows Andy and Pat are pushing the envelope. We know what he can do when the lights come on. He proved it in his very first start and during preseason last year.
The media driven interception narrative just doesn't jibe with the historical data, neither during his college career or his first year in the NFL. There is no reason to believe training camp is going to be more of an indicator than his actual game experience up to this point.
His ability to consistently make incredible throws has you worried. You're looking for any reason to believe he's not the real deal and your trying to convince yourself. But whatever short lived amusement you find in PMINT will quickly be replaced by years of disappointment when Mahomes rapes your cheating asses over and over again. [Reply]

Mahomes ran it and hit the pylon with the ball against Denver last year. Stepped out, barely, just before hitting the pylon. Did it against the Bengals in preseason too!
He will run it in instead of throwing the INT like he did yesterday when it counts. He has already shown that. [Reply]

Hilarious watching donkey fans sweating Mahomes, it's also pretty funny that they have a problem with interceptions now, they've got three QB's in their Ring of Honor that had more interceptions than TD's in their careers. One of them, Frank Tripucka had 34 interceptions in 14 games in his best season......oh and they retired his jersey. :-) [Reply]

He rushed for 22 tds in 25 games his last two years of college, just something else for defenses to worry about. [Reply]

You should be paying Mahomes rent for all the space he is taking up in your head right now . . . . . .
I can't talk PMINT in the main forum without getting banned so I do it here.
I love what I have heard about the Broncos TC so far.
Keep hearing about how well Keenum can place the ball. He is putting it where only the WRs have a chance at catching it. Big upgrade over the bums from last year.
All the WR's are playing well and Sutton and Hamilton so far sound as good as they were hyped to be on paper. Sanders is healthy and has been impressive, DT is playing well to, helps to have a QB who can get you the ball.
Jake Butt is close to winning the job at TE.
I will be concerned about the RB position until I can see them play in live action so PS will tell me a lot.
The OL has been better and Keenum's strength last year was keeping his eyes downfield and completing big throws when the protection broke down.
Over all I love the O, they will score points.
On the D:
Chubb has been a steal and with Ray able to practice in TC they have 4 rushers they can rotate. Love that they are looking at getting all 4 guys on the field at the same time too.
LB's are very good, no drop off there.
CB's could be an issue depth wise. Harris has been the best CB for years, it is down at the 3rd CB level where they could have issues but there is time to see how they address it. Another position I need to see in PS. I also think the reason they got Cravens was to use him as either the 3rd CB on early downs and as an LB in rush downs like 3rd and long where he can play closer to the LOS.
Safety is set, Simmons has been said to have taken strides and Stewart had the pick on PMINT last year, love the back end of the secondary. Stewart was the last piece of the No Fly Zone just like in 1977 how Bernard Jackson was the last piece of the Orange Crush. This is the group that is going to get all those PMINT over throws. Chubb was working on drop backs today so he should get a couple too.
Our stock is upward, the QB is not struggling with turnovers, feel very good about starting another SB run. [Reply]
