Broncos camp has small turnout


CoastalCat

Recommended Posts

Looking forward to the days when training camp on the heals of a Superb Owl win is no big deal. 

"It could have been the Peyton Manning factor.

Or maybe the Denver Broncos are still suffering from a Super Bowl hangover and have yet to get excited about the upcoming season.

Or perhaps it’s this: Bronco fans are taking a wait-and-see attitude about this year’s team.

It can’t be the price.

Whatever the cause, the Broncos drew a surprisingly small crowd of 3,407 to the UCHealth Training Center for the team’s first day of training camp Thursday. There were 4,025 fans who showed up on Day 1 of camp last  year for a team coming off a disappointing, playoff-opening loss to Indianapolis."

Meanwhile, both Voth & Igo are talking about the stands at Gibbs stadium filling up remarkably quickly and predicting they'll run out of seats for everyone....

So what's that?  15K?

I was just about to ask that. What's a good turnout for day 1? Wikipedia says Gibbs Stadium holds 13k.

Not denying that Denver are the Super Bowl champs or trashing their team.  I'd just think that a SB win would INCREASE fan excitement, not decrease it.

Can you imagine opening day at training camp numbers decreasing if we'd won the Super Bowl?  It seems very odd.  Must be the lack of a star QB, I'm guessing.

Neither does Bojangles, but you can bet your a$$ I'll be pulling through the drive-through for some steak egg and cheese here in about 30-45 minutes.

Last year, we had 35,000+ for the opening practice/party. I don't have figures for today yet. Still pouring in!

 

CORRECTION: it was 35k for opening weekend. About 17700 opening night. We definitely have exceeded that tonight.

    • Not really. It all depends upon perspective. You can draft quality OTs high every year. They have one of the lowest bust rates by position. DTs, less so, but good ones still come along at a regular clip. With WRs, it's simply best to draft one in the first round if you want a legit play maker. Moreover, WR is going to set you back more than OT or DT at really all statuses, meaning JAG receivers are going to make more than JAG OTs and DTs, and elite receivers will make substantially more than elite OTs or DTs. I would also argue that it's much harder to find a franchise level OT or DT that can have an altering impact upon the game. So, if you don't believe they can, you may as well wait for day 2 or 3. That's why sticking to your board is probably the wisest thing to do. If you're not committed that the value is there, then what are you doing? Lastly, I don't think you should necessarily draft in a vacuum, but you must look at each team from year to year. People want to make them the same, but they're different. You have to start over every year and identify where the strengths and weaknesses are. You can't say, "Well we drafted [so and so] last year or two years ago, so we'll just draft this this year." That's not realistic and it can be highly counterproductive, especially in light of the reason that you should be trying to use FA to set up the draft.
    • If you read through his stuff, he's had a raging hate-boner for the Carolina Panthers the likes of which would make many long-tenured Huddlers blush. Every win was "yeah but" and every loss was "see I told you so".
    • Let me preface this by saying I've read WalterFootball on and off for 20 years. That's an indictment on my decision-making, and it's more than fair to be questioned.  However, the days of reading what's become weak ragebait have drawn to a close after he re-graded the 2025 NFL Draft's first round. He gave T-Mac a C on draft night. What was his re-grade for the NFL Offensive Rookie of the Year?  Carolina Panthers: Tetairoa McMillan, WR, Arizona – C Grade One-Year Grade: C+ Grade Tetairoa McMillan won Offensive Rookie of the Year, but only by default after Emeka Egbuka vanished in the second half of the season. McMillan was good, and was certainly limited by Bryce Young’s mediocrity, but there are still concerns about his work ethic and passion for football. If he doesn’t progress in the coming years, we’ll know why. Original Write-up: Wow, our Panthers source did not pan out for once. Jalon Walker was heavy chalk to go here, but the Panthers decided to draft a No. 1 receiver instead. While this fills a need, I’m concerned with Tetairoa McMillan’s work ethic, which is something you never want to hear from a first-round prospect, especially one who is chosen in the top 10. Bryce Young needs this, and McMillan is talented, but will he give 100 percent at the next level? Also, what about the defense, which was the worst in the NFL last year? https://walterfootball.com/nfldraftgrades2025.php
