If you had anything close to a top 5 roster, you'd have some Pro Bowlers. The 2012 Chiefs that finished 2-14 had several Pro Bowlers. :-)
Have you noticed that virtually every QB who has played in Denver in recent years has looked better elsewhere? Strange. [Reply]

The Vikings have taken big swings at QB. They've hit on some, whiffed on others. But they tried. Many times.
I'm basing that off of his Carl Peterson-like decision making.
A shutdown corner (if Surtain even is that... right now it's debateable given he's been thrown on dozens of times this season) will win you precisely jack and shit in this league. [Reply]

Going from Keenum to Cousins was not "risky" :-) [Reply]

Might have been stoned out of his mind too, I mean it is Colorado. [Reply]

Teddy Bridgewater has had his best year of his career. [Reply]

Yet you are blaming him for your lack of pro bowlers on a "Top 5" roster. You need to stay consistent. If he has had the best year of his career then Denver should have more people in the pro bowl. [Reply]

Veach got that with his draft picks this year. Baller
Next Revis.
Next Terrell Davis.
Next elite guard in Quinn Meinerz.
Johnathon Cooper.
Caden Sterns.
Baron Browning
Jonas Griffith (Who Paton traded a 7th rounder for, and who has a PFF grade 18 points higher than the 2nd round ILB Let's Reach drafted in 2021, and 32 points higher than the 2nd round ILB Let's Reach drafted in 2020)
Kenny Young
Paton also drafted a corner in the 7th round and flipped him for a 6th rounder next year. Everything Paton did this year worked out. Just wait and see what he does next. [Reply]
