NFL: The Broncos, since beating us in the Super Bowl

“Do I trust him to fix what’s gone wrong? No. I mean, how did he fix it in the first place? He found himself a unicorn, Peyton Manning,” Schlereth said on FS1. “Peyton Manning makes up for a multitude of sins. All the quarterbacks he’s gotten after don’t.”

Schlereth said Elway has built a roster lacking in depth and talent, and he singled out left tackle Garrett Bolles, whom Elway drafted in the first round of the 2017 NFL draft, as a player who’s only on the roster because Elway can’t admit he was wrong to pick him. Schlereth said that Bolles is playing so poorly, the rest of the team resents it.

“You think you can continue to run him out and not every guy in that locker room’s pissed off? Why is he on this team? Why is he playing?” Schlereth said. “Because he was my first-round pick and I’m going to prove I got it right.”

Those are harsh words, but it’s hard to disagree with Schlereth’s point. The Broncos still haven’t made the playoffs since Manning retired, and Elway is showing no evidence that he knows how to get them back to the postseason.

Keep in mind as you read this that Schlereth and Elway were teammates. This'd be like having Mike Singletary ripping Ron Rivera.

But it's true; since beating us in the Super Bowl, the Broncos have fallen off a cliff.

(not that I expect that to exactly hurt anyone's feelings, here)

We fell off a cliff as well. Since then one playoff appearance with a wild card loss

outside of 2017, we’ve pretty much sucked all the same.

At least they can hang their hat on a victory in 2015. We can’t even do that.

I don't even count 2017 if you remember the context. Getting swept 3x to the Saints including WC loss is pretty shitty and left a horrible taste in my mouth. I wouldnt consider that a successful season

Hard to argue with that.

i saw this show.   mark also said elway tried to hire kyle shannahan and wasn't allowed to (kyle went for a visit). even would have hired his dad.  they don't have an owner right now, they have a board, and the board decided they had been down the shannahan road and weren't going to go down it again.  can't blame that on horse face

Elway had some poor draft classes since 2015 other than taking Bradley Chubb last year. But give the man his credits. Elway added Talib, Ware and TJ Ward which made that SB50 defense that great of a defense. The Broncos beat us bc of their defense, not Peyton Manning. 
 

Elway playing Garrett Bolles is like Hurney and Ron playing Daryl Williams game after game.

That's fair.

Even so, it's hard to deny a lot of his personnel choices have been horrible. That's especially so at quarterback, which is kind of hard to forgive given that if Elway knows any position, it should be that one.

i totally agree.  later in that segment they were wondering just how neutered elway is, since he's not even allowed to select the coach.   but there's no doubt he's been awful at personell

      Josina Anderson: Panthers NOT trading Adam Thielen

      By Khyber53 · Posted

      Let's be completely honest about this... Our WR room is AT and a bunch of question marks. Thielen is the only guy we know who knows the route tree completely, understands play calls and can regularly get open/beat close coverage when necessary. He's long in the tooth, isn't the speediest guy on the field but he plays like a pro, starting level wide receiver. Xavier, last season looked great at first, but man he kind of petered out down the stretch and would disappear in a number of games. He wasn't reliable on routes or getting open and where he was supposed to be a king at contested catches, he often looked a bit intimidated. I'm not saying he's a washout by any means. Anyone with his size, speed and catch radius could make it big in the NFL, but can he do it? He'll need to show more than he did in the preseason before we can really rely on him as a WR1 or WR2.  Coker was a revelation last season, he really played way above his (non)draft status and flashed multiple times in games and was a steady performer. What we need to find out, though, is whether he was benefiting from being an unknown that wasn't getting maximum effort from opposing DBs or if he was just outworking and outhustling everyone on the field. We should find out this season. We sure as hell didn't find out much in the pre-season (from him or any receiver or QB for that matter). He's still a question mark, but I think he has the look of the real deal. He might be this generation's next Thielen. Now, let's talk about Tet. High first round draft pick, first true WR off the board this year. Stellar career out west in college. Has the swagger of the WR1. And man, y'all are going to get mad about this but... he comes across as a mook. And in the pre-season he performed, well, not so great against poor opposition of second and third stringers. Yeah, he caught that one moonshot ball in the first game but really, nothing else lighting the place up. Rookie endzone drop in that game, too. He's still young and adjusting, I'm sure, but I was hoping to see something of a breakthrough kind of guy. I'm still looking. Hunter Renfro? Gosh, I hope he can make the team and make a comeback to his old form. It would be such a great story. But maybe neither one of those happens. We won't know until Tuesday and then, if he makes it past there it could be weeks. So, TL;DR: AT is all we can bank on right now. We couldn't afford to let him go considering the number of unknowns we'd be throwing out there for our QB, who himself is still an unknown. One thing to add: Our receivers coaching group has their work cut out for them. I hope they are up to the task, but the pre-season gave me little reason to believe in them. And I really need something to believe in here in Carolina.

      2025 Roster Cuts

      By Bear Hands · Posted

      Linebacker is the biggest need - I hope we figure out a way to address it. Krys Barnes is the only one who even moderately flashed.  Super nervous about Trevin/Rozeboom as a duo (Still like Trevin) I'd be excited if we had a better vet to mentor Trevin.  Or a better younger guy to support Rozeboom.  They just don't fit well and it may be a big problem against the run, even with our DL much improved.
