Looks like he's done in Denver. Would it be worth giving a 4th or 5th and cutting stew to bring him in? Someone proven and a RB down there won't have an immediate impact.

 

Anderson closed out the Broncos' disappointing 2017 as one of the bright spots with his first career 1,000-yard rushing season, but he was openly wondering what his future would be immediately following the season finale. Anderson's contract is structured in such a way the Broncos could release him, with two years remaining on the deal, without any "dead money'' charge against the salary cap. The team also seems intent on getting Devontae Booker into the No. 1 role. Coach Vance Joseph, somewhat surprisingly to many with the team and in the league, fired assistant head coach/running backs coach Eric Studesville after the 5-11 finish, a move Anderson was particularly critical of on social media. Add it all up and Anderson appears to be headed elsewhere. If that's the case, the Dolphins will have interest given the Broncos matched Miami's deal two years ago to keep Anderson. -- Jeff Legwold

He's actually scheduled to make less than Stew. His contract isn't out of line with his production at all. Hell, he probably wants to get cut because he could probably get more money elsewhere. Right now there's no guaranteed money at all in his contract. I think he just fell out of favor with the coaching staff and they have a younger RB who isn't as good that for some reason they think is the answer. Anderson has never averaged under 4ypc in his career. Booker has never averaged over 3.8ypc. I think the donkeys are making a mistake here if they jettison Anderson and his reasonable contract for Booker.

Why does everyone want to give up a like a 4th round draft pick ( which we don't have) for just an average or ok running back.  Half this board is draft these 20 guys and we are in the super bowl, the other half is give away all our picks for these guys and we will be in the super bowl.  You can get these kinds of guys at the end of March for 2 or 3 million a year and not give up anything.

because people like the idea of projects while others are looking for the impact now. window is closing. need something now and there's other needs elsewhere to address in the draft. by the logic of drafting a running back after the third round we did that already, with Payne, who's on the roster. I mean we can roll with him? Or we get someone proven to give us 2-3 seasons as 27 isn't 30. JStew at 27 was a beast. Anderson would fit us well considering he'd split time.

      My read is they intended to try and get points but that first run and usage of the clock was done to hedge against things going poorly. Basically they shouldn't need all that time to score since they had multiple timeouts. Dirting that second play put us in a no-win situation. Sure you can run on 3rd down but ARI had timeouts so they still likely get the same result.

      Can we all admit it now?

      I never said he had a good game in the Denver game.  As you said we had a good first drive ending in Bryce throwing a slant to XL for a TD.  It was garbage time but the back shoulder throw to Coker for the late TD was a great throw.   Throws like these in bad games are why I say he "can" do it and has the physical tools.  The question is can he do it consistently, continue to improve, grow and become our QB of the future.  Up to this point that was a hard no but with a new head coach and Bryce in his 2nd year it was 100% the right call to play out the year and see if he got better.  He did.   Two games into this year is still more of the up and down quality of play and coaching but there is still plenty of potential and we have 16 more games to decide if it's worth it to continue down this path. I don't know what will happen but I know cutting him or benching him now makes zero sense on any level. I said of those last 10 games we were only blown out in 2 of them.  I'll concede the Denver game was a blow out.  So 3 blowout loses and 7 competitive games, 4 of which we won, all decided by less than a TD.  Sounds like a team growing, improving and getting better.  All I want to do is see where that leads and if those examples of starting NFL level quarterbacking can continue to improve and become more consistent.   Anyone with pride would retire?  Laughable.  Do all of you quit in your daily lives every time things get tough or don't go your way?
