Elway: Broncos had 'big concerns' about Matt Paradis' ankle

Meh I’m not going to knock Elways just because we signed Paradis.

Injury in the legs is a legitimate concern for big men and I’m not going to be a douche and act like I’m not worried.

Elway fielded a team to beat one of the best teams of all time, the 15-1 Panthers. Not saying he’s a great GM but sure let’s do the whole but this but that bit because you guys are salty.

I hope he can bounce back and be a solid player because if he can’t the Panthers really need to evaluate their ability to find a quality oline without giving out worthless contracts.

Yep another real talk post that’ll get shitted from niaeve fans.

We'll just have to wait and see. Lots of Broncos fans were pissed to see him go and Elway has been getting increased heat from fans as of late. He kinda had to say something.

But, when a player goes for less on the open market than many anticipated, there's usually a good reason for it.

So you want him back but then say "meh" hes damaged goods? Elway is one of the most overrated people in the league. He's like Polian who made a career after taking Manning over Leaf.

Yeah he has a super bowl congrats but they haven't done anything in the last 4 years worth noting. 

Drew Brees was also never going to throw again...how did that work out.

I live in CO, trust me it's not Panthers fans being salty. Broncos fans are all about fed up with Elway and his complete inability to find a serviceable QB. Trading for Flacco did absolutely nothing to placate their very legit concerns on that front. Quite the opposite.

I grew up a Colt fan--and when I was a kid, one of my first memories is Elway telling the media he would not play for the Colts.  Then he got lucky and won 2 SBs at the end of his career and then a super bowl against us. 

I hate him, in other words.  He wants to avoid criticism because he is a narcissist.  Paradis had an injury, we had him take a physical where we examined the injury.  He is laying the ground work in the event his fans bash him for letting Paradis walk.

    • Yeah and I am doubtful he can offer that consistently. I don’t have many years left at my age and in my view we have wasted two and this whole exercise with him was always a three year minimum.  I am out on that with a guy I don’t believe in, and never believed in, it has sucked. To me it is a costly detour off the right track. Years.    But I am not so rigid that I can’t see excellence. He needs to display it though, consistently before I change my outlook.  
    • No, when I said rage, I meant rage, which only applies to certain fans on this board. Your timeline of trying to assess whether he is the future or not is really tied to the discussions surrounding his second contract. If this team is going to commit to some monster contract while he has shown nothing but glimpses of brilliance would be deservedly worrisome, so the clock is genuinely ticking for him to settle into something resembling his final form. Perhaps a best case scenario is that he plays well, the team succeeds, but he does so with a more limited role that makes the rest of the league view him as a game manager, and his second contract value reflects that. Then he continues to improve and becomes a bargain comparatively while not handicapping the team around him, and we enter an era of consistent championship competitiveness that the fanbase has craved for decades and has never really experienced before. But that requires many, many things to go right and for Bryce himself to facilitate that if he ends up being the quarterback of the future.
    • Exactly. And the flame throwers as well, get location benefits from not going all out. But they have it in reserve.  Not sure how much Greg had but he was an artist.  There was a YouTube I came across last year or maybe even 2023 and I don’t how to even find now but it had two NFL QBs I want say one was Carr from the Raiders but I don’t really remember  The point of it is they stood side by side throwing identical distances to identical targets. Radar gun was used.  They threw the normal effort (not all out) and it was measured etc. Then they were asked to throw their ‘fastball’. They were missing and most often they were missing high. It demonstrated the same principle.    edit: and applying that to arm strength, give me the guy that doesn’t need max effort to have good velocity. The margins are so narrow with less velocity in tne NFL the defenders can Close on it and this is a league where they value down to the 100th of a second level. It is that tight
