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

    • We've never seen them outside of the structure of two very well ran organizations I'll give you that. And yes they are long in the tooth. I do think they are more than capable of getting a franchise turned around in short term capacity though. They are by no means a long term solution.
    • You're not making a good-faith argument by blaming literally everything on the quarterback when the defense gave him a fat 38 seconds to overcome its ineptitude, but it seems you're dead-set on blaming him for any problem the team encounters. In this case, it's not warranted. Sometimes it is. But he had no time to throw (pressured on 46% of all dropbacks, an insane amount) and that's simply not all his fault -- particularly when they rush 4 or less and are in the backfield in 1.5s or less. Should we have gotten more than 0 yards? Sure! But he hit a WR in the hands on fourth down and it was dropped. Not his fault. He missed one throw on second down but I attribute first down to a bad play call and third down to poor pass protection. I would've called some quick slants, personally, but it really seems you're saying: - playcalling: Bryce's fault - poor pass protection: Bryce's fault - defensive choking away a lead: Bryce's fault, not the defense - Horn dropping a pass: Bryce's fault It's a great way to garner support on here, because when it comes to Bryce, logic takes such a backseat to context that it's not even in the same vehicle. Plenty of games can be attributed to him. Can't take anyone seriously who solely blames him for that one. 
    • I don't see how you can logically make that argument when the team beat two of the top teams in the entire league during the regular season.  Now imagine the additional games we would have won against absolute tip top competitors like SF and SEA had we had a professional QB.  You can throw any random stat at the problem you want, but the proof is in the pudding.  We all watched it live.  This roster would have produced 13 wins (wins against SF and SEA, two wins against NO, and would have swept the Bucs) and (almost certainly) a #1 seed with a remotely competent QB.  Those were not games where we needed an all star performance to win.  Those were games where a very, very modest stat line would have netted us an easy win. Nearly every measurable aspect of the team would have been significantly improved with a competent QB.
