It says Elway is keenly aware that he has a Super Bowl caliber roster and he has no intention of wasting all that talent on a young QB. Not when there is an All Pro QB just sitting there.
Aaron Rodgers sat and watched for 3 years, Paxton Lynch can too.
How are you protecting Romo behind that shit offensive line? [Reply]

By signing Ricky Wagner and possibly signing a guard like Lang, Leary, or Zeitler. Denver could also let Okung walk and sign a guy like Andrew Whitworth.
Denver has the cap room to get a lot done. [Reply]

Benton, whoever he is, could be leaving the Denver Broncos for the San Francisco 49ers, according to an NFL coaching source. Broncos general manager John Elway and head coach Vance Joseph granted Benton permission to interview for a higher position with the 49ers.
Hired to become the Broncos' assistant offensive line coach on Jan. 15, it appears Benton may never get a chance to make an impact on the Broncos' blocking game. The 49ers are interviewing Benton for their top offensive line coach position.
Credit Elway and Joseph for being the bigger men in this unusual circumstance. Two years ago, Joseph felt the stab of disappointment when he was snubbed from a promotion because of a self-serving employer.
Indications are Benton will get the San Francisco gig.
Pretty classy of Elway to allow Benton to interview with the 49ers. :-)
It's his job. As the captain of a sinking ship it's always your responsibility to get as many people off the ship before it's completely capsized. [Reply]
Happy 73rd birthday to Owner Pat Bowlen, who served 9 NFL committees & has helped Broncos to more Super Bowls (7) than losing seasons (5). pic.twitter.com/EuSaVkAhya
During Mr. B's 33 seasons as owner, only the NBA's Spurs (.636) have a higher win percentage than the Broncos (.612) in ALL of pro sports. pic.twitter.com/v7pOniFGhL
btw, how's he done without a first ballot Hall of Fame QB?
Denver had Peyton for 4 years and went to, and won, just as many Super Bowls as Indy did in 14 years with Peyton. Denver must be doing right. :-) [Reply]
