I don't take his comments that way at all. Sounds more like he's not going to stoop to Teddy's level and refute back.

I don't think he'd acknowledge criticism, at least not in this form and via this channel. Agreed though that he may say they're always evaluating and looking to do things better in everything they do or something shapeless like that.

I'd be very surprised if he says anything other than coachspeak when it comes to Teddy.

People must pay a lot of attention to these if teams put that much effort into it but I can't say that I've ever watched a schedule release video or even been aware of them. Might have to check it out this year.

Yup, they're so excited about it that the third year of the contract had to be renegotiated away to avoid any 2022 financial commitment and Carolina had to eat so much of the salary that Denver is only paying $3MM, barely more than Blaine Gabbert just re-signed for in Tampa, with another $1.25MM in potential bonus. Nothing else to be said, as that tells the entire story. Good luck in Denver, both to you and Teddy.

Pat Shurmur went to bat for him eh? The guy with the .292 career winning percentage as a head coach and whose offenses have finished in the bottom half of the league just as often as the top half, Jeff Fisher-style? All the best in Denver, Teddy. May he ascend to new career heights in the Mile High City.

I'd prefer to keep Chinn around the ball as much as possible. He'd probably be fine at FS but seems a bit of a waste of his run support and on-ball abilities. That said I think the whole 'interchangeable safety positons' factors in, so hopefully it wpuld minimize that.

Figured they'd be off cluttering up the Bronco boards by now.

Nothing like a little 9200% gain to brighten one's day.

I'd be willing to bet he meant that based on the film he's seen rather than someone just being given a shot just because.

Doge at 50 cents... interesting times indeed.

Uhh... OK.

Chiefs right in front of Carolina... odds they go OL?

Wtf.

Teddy sucked all on his own. Whatever happens with Darnold is unrelated to Teddy beyond the fact that Darnold succeeded him, and if Darnold is better or not is somewhat irrelevant to the decision to move on from Teddy. That needed to happen regardless. I do agree with your premise that if Darnold fails to show any development, it's a large red flag for this staff and perhaps FO as well. Tonight will be very interesting.

Over $2MM per passing TD. Nice work if you can get it.

Alrighty.

You said the contract wasn't untradeable and that you 'had receipts', not that it 'wasn't a major obstacle', it was pointed out that the contract had to be reworked to facilitate a trade, and now you're saying it was all bias against Teddy and you never said the contract wouldn't have to be reworked. Every player has a contract so yeah, the one he had was by definition untradeable if it had to be altered to make a trade happen. Whatever though, the team has moved on and that's a net positive.

His contract WAS untradeable - Teddy had to restructure/adjust compensation by cancelling the 3rd year and Carolina still had to eat money to make it happen.

Not even an exclamation point with that thank you.

Because Carolina carrying salary was almost assuredly always a mandatory condition, even if the dollar amounts varied at varying times. Denver 'compromised' by moving up from a 7th to a 6th. That contract value was unpalatable to anyone in its current-year value.

Teddy's signing was bad at the outset and steadily sunk to being one of the worst in franchise history. Not challenging Gilbert for the crown or nearly as atrocious signings like Chuck Smith or Matt Kalil, but pretty damn bad.
