And now we have circled back to complaining about trading away a starting QB.

Huddle is amazing

It's more of a dig at the "we need a good backup QB" crowd I think. There's some cross over between them and the trade Teddy for anything crew.

He’s never going to be THE guy. Broncos fans know that and are basically hoping they can sneak into the playoffs with a good defense and run game. Like many of us here said when he was signed only way to win with Teddy is to have a great defense and run game. He’s never going to take over a meaningful game.

Broncos gonna learn.

Those fans are in for a rude awakening.  Their bad QBs have at least been guys who can still sling it and tried to push things down field (to little to sometimes successful effect) and now, oh man..Teddy is going to rip them apart from the inside by his nothingness.

I wish we were facing the Broncos this year. Would like to see how Teddy plays on the other side.

Everything I’ve read is basically a mirror of threads last year with us. Some posters saying he’s good enough to not give you a top draft pick but not good enough to take you over the top. Some posters saying he’s a checkdown qb and rather roll with someone who has more talent, other delusional posters like the ones last year who mention one or two deep throws in NO/CAR he’s made and how hE cAn ThRoW dEeP.

And paid him 17 million to do so 

Just think about that for a minute,  they thought so much of Teddy that they paid another team to take him off their hands. Kinda derails the theory that the FO was all in on Teddy doesn't it?  I still can't believe anyone thought that.

Reminds me of the conversation between Billy Beane and David Justice in Moneyball

    • A winning record would be nice, but I still have us winning around the 6 to 8 game mark. Realistically we should beat the Jets and Saints, that gets us to 5 wins. After that, we have to face a lot of potential play off teams and our divisional opponents. I think we’ll win 1 or 2 of those games to take us to 6 or 7 wins, perhaps 8 wins if we can spring a further surprise.  Is that enough progress for head coach and QB? I’m not sure, it will depend on performances and output. That said, it’s nice to be back in a position where we are thinking about the play offs.
    • I would tend to agree about not falling into the trap and paying a below average QB, but sometimes situations can “force” a team to pay that QB. For example, if we play ourselves into a 9-8 like record, then what options will we have in the draft? Or do we avoid the draft and trade for or sign someone in free agency?  I’m not convinced by the 2026 QB draft class. There’s some intriguing prospects but no one that really screams “draft me”. I’m not sure we’ve got anyone really that stands out as a trade candidate or free agent signing. So although we might not want to commit a big money contract to Young, him playing well and showing progress might force the team’s hand. 
    • Realistically we would be looking at no more than a mid round pick for Dowdle or Chuba. Are we really that desperate for a mid round pick? Not really. I would much prefer us utilise the two RBs in a 1-2 punch similar to how we used D-Will and Stewart. After all, Bryce is not Drew Brees. He won’t throw for 300+ yards and carry the team consistently as a passer. So having a strong running game with a 1-2 punch will be beneficial to him, and it will also be beneficial to the RBs because we can spell them and not overwork them.
