There's no correlation between passing yardage and winning football games?

This just keeps getting better.

Than you should have just signed Winston for just pennies off the dollars as I think he's still looking to be signed in order to save all those picks and keep DJ cause passing yards seem to matter to you guys so much. He will get them in bunches so everyone here can go WOW after he zings it.

Denverworld is a sad place. "Sean Payton has been an unmitigated disaster through two weeks'

 

 Sean Payton’s halftime adjustments were once again subpar. And his performance in the waning moments was laughable.

The Broncos were down 11 points when they got the ball back with 7:11 to play in the game. They didn’t go up temp. They didn’t have any sense of urgency. Instead, they methodically marched down the field, as Washington happily let them burn clock. Denver took 5:21 to kick a field goal that cut the lead to eight points.

Not scoring before the two-minute warning was an egregious error. Having to use a timeout after taking a sack on third-and-goal was the height of ineptitude.

But it didn’t end there. After scoring on a 50-yard hail mary as time expired, the Broncos had a chance to force overtime with a two-point conversion. Most teams have a play drawn up for just such a situation. They seem to be wide open more often than not. Denver ran a chaotic mess that wound up in an incompletion, although pass interference probably should’ve been called.

What was Payton’s reaction? Nothing. He stood emotionless on the sidelines.

A chance for a miraculous win went up in smoke. Payton reacted less than patrons at Starbucks when they run out of pumpkin spice lattes.

Add it all up and it’s a colossal disappointment. And it’s on the head coach.

His choice for defensive coordinator is a disaster. Everyone saw that coming.

His lack of in-game adjustments have been problematic. He’s been outcoached by Josh McDaniels and Ron Rivera to start the season.

And his inability to call up the right play in the crucial moment was disappointing. His giant playsheet needed one more line on it.

A lot of people in Broncos Country wanted an experienced head coach. They got one. But his seasoning doesn’t seem to be paying any dividends.

 

Vance Joseph’s defense was awful. That should come as a surprise to no one.

The defensive coordinator wasn’t good in Miami in that role. He wasn’t in Arizona, either. And as the Broncos head coach during the 2017 and ’18 seasons, the team regressed on that side of the ball.

So far this season, VJ’s group has been picked apart by Jimmy Garoppolo and Sam Howell. A week after recording zero sacks against the Raiders, they failed to force a turnover against the Commanders.

They don’t make plays. They can’t get stops. It’s a recipe for disaster.

Not all of it is on Joseph, however. The players are also to blame.

Justin Simmons makes big money. He’s done nothing in two weeks.

Pat Surtain is arguably the Broncos best player. He makes zero impact, as teams can easily avoid a cornerback and simply pick on others.

Randy Gregory finally had a sack. But the team’s highest-paid pass rusher was missing in action in the second half, mirroring his performance from a week ago.

 

Another season down the drain. And it’s only mid-September.

Maybe. At the end of the day, teams want a winner. They'll look over a lot of they think a guy can bring wins. I mean, Sean Payton the pill popping overseer of Bountygate got another HC gig.

No argument

who was the last Ohio State QB that was a successful starter in the NFL?  That's why CJ was not taken.

Your claim that Carolina passed on Stroud because he came from Ohio State is what is laughable.  Carolina picked Young because they felt he was the better pick.  It had nothing to do with which school Stroud had played.  There are a lot of quality posters on this site.  Try to be like them.
