i know you mean well, and i'm sure this will come across as a bleeding heart liberal whatever and I'm not trying to target you, but don't use the word crazy. words in mental health mean a lot, not just for patient interactions but how we frame conversations. you wouldn't say "Lunger" for someone with tuberculosis. Same with "drug addict." an addict is someone we don't have to care about, or who did it to themselves, or has fuged up over and over again. small pet peeve of mine that i lecture students about and i always try to implement in the way I practice medicine. -
None of them look like starting material to me this year, certainly not rookie coming off an injury and needing work. Also Morgan was the pro-personnel guy when they signed Sanders so it's reasonable to doubt that his salary is the only reason he is still around with a June 6th designation they could have used to open up cap (2 miil +) for another RB. Chuba being a #2 or on a contract year isn't really an issue until next year when they see how he does this year and what he wants moving forward. These guys should be making moves to keep their jobs next year, not another future fest that's been going on since Rhule got here with his 7 year plan. It was a luxury and I'll just refer to the many post above to not repeat myself.

I think it's a reasonable comparison with the context that Teddy's career ultimately was greatly hindered by his brutal injury in MN. His first two seasons weren't the best (better than bryce's rookie year but not by much) but going into year 3 he appeared by all accounts to be taking the next step forward before destroying his leg (if I recall right, it was like a 2 year recovery). He honestly wasn't that bad for us/Denver considering that injury. I think Bryce can be what Teddy could've been if not for that injury. Still not an elite franchise QB or even close to it, but potentially a Dalton, Palmer, Carr, etc. type of 2nd/3rd tier QB who can get you to the playoffs, but I don't really see him as having the upside to be a QB who gets you that SB win. That said, there have been a few teams that have shown you can win a SB without an elite QB -- Ravens with Flacco, Eagles with Foles. Bryce could be as good as either of those guys if the rest of the team around him is good enough. Long story short, I don't really think he's the guy long term here. Maybe he becomes like KC Alex Smith for us and sticks around a while until we try to replace him but sadly I think the most likely outcome is that he doesn't start a game for us after this season.
