Elway was sniffing around Drew Lock last month. With the early comparisons to Mahomes (which is hilarious in itself) and Elway’s hard on for QB’s with big arms, I think this is the direction they are going.

Lynch and Brock have Elway scared to death of drafting QB’s.

I highly doubt he makes a big move for one.

He's definitely put good D's together, but other than Chicago, they've gotten worse the longer he's been there.

I think it's a good hire, but they've had a good d with Vance. He needs to make smart decisions coaching that Vance didn't do and they'll win 8-10 ideally if the D can stay together but that's not looking likely.

Might not be Lock but it would for sure be a QB. You can’t sit and wait for your QB anymore.

I can’t see Elway settling for Keenum after next season.

Have to see how the combine goes. QBs move up and down a hell of a lot between the Super Bowl and the draft. Don't think Mahomes was even viewed as a first rounder this time of the year.

I'd roll with Keenum for a year even if he drafts one. Let him redshirt, let Keenum lean on D and running game.

Or just punt on the QB this year, tank next year and take Tua

Tua isn't worth tanking for. The best ability is availability and he missed significant time in both the SEC championship game and the National championship game because he got a boo boo.

Didn't he break his ankle?

Jets, Colts, Eagles seem to be the 3 favorites right now to land Von Miller in a trade.

Sprained it and had that super duper special surgery on it.

Whoa....what? Why would you hire a DC as your head coach and then trade your best defensive player? Strictly for the money?

Von Miller on the Colts would not be fair. Goddamn would that suck.

So fangio huh? Ok

In today’s NFL you want an offensive coach. And a great QB.

Now, they trade Miller to acquire capital to get said QB it’s more interesting. However, 2 of the top 3 pass rushers in football being traded in 1 year should say a lot about the direction of the league.

Thank God both are leaving the AFCW. :-)

Why?

I imagine this will only fuel more talk that Denver is a logical landing spot for Ravens quarterback Joe Flacco who is expected to be traded/released this offseason. Flacco had one of his best seasons w/Kubiak as his OC in 2014. Two got along really well. https://t.co/5sDGccMSkp
