It's pretty much a no win scenario here.

A game manager like Fitz. Or two rehab projects in Kaep or RG III.

I'll go with the guy who has shown amazing potential in the past but fell off during a shitshow two seasons in which nearly the entire team under performed in San Fran. Kaepernick could thrive in a Kubiak offense, I believe. Still more unlikely than it is likely... but what have we got to lose?

I honestly think whoever they grab will be a stopgap until they get someone in FA or draft down the road so it doesn't really matter. If this last season showed us anything, they don't need a superstar gunslinger out there.

Maybe we need to get Keeper's input on this, but I'm still waiting to hear a reasonable explanation as to why Cincy would be motivated to move McCarron.

BroncoWave
03-09-2016, 06:16 PM
I went with Kapernick and Prescott. Similar type players who we could smoothly transition from one to the next if Kap doesn't wind up being the franchise guy, which he probably would not. I watched a lot of Prescott in college so I am obviously biased, but the dude has a huge arm and is a great guy/leader. Can definitely make all the throws, just needs to polish up his footwork and work on making progressions. I'd love to see him in Denver.

And as for Kap, I can't freaking stand him as a person, but I think he is the best of a lot of bad options. He was really good in SF until that whole organization went to shit. Much more stability for him here.

It may not be popular, but I'd be ok with RGIII. He grew up a Broncos fan and would probably come cheap and bust his ass to fulfill his childhood dream. I also think he got a major slice of humble pie this past year.

I'm not sure they would but Dalton is young and if they can turn AJ into someone they could use now to win they might be interested in making a deal. Sort of like the Pats, get something for their backups while they can because he isn't going to take Dalton's job. They could draft another back up later in this draft and it would be win / win for them.

As to the question, I would say Sanchez as a stopgap and draft someone, likely Lynch or Cook.

That's one of the benefits of the last pick in the first and an evening to think about the 2nd round. Usually there is someone that drops that another team is interested in and it can garner some trade back options. Although...if Elliott or a quality OL drops...that would be my first choice

I went with McCarron and Prescott. There are so many variables here, though. Like someone said, we might have no shot at McCarron anyway (in which case, I'd take Kaep for a retread). None of these are particularly appealing options, as we all know.

I used to like the idea of Fitz coming here.. now I'm on the fence. Would like to see Kap with a second chance, he has more upside than Fitz. RG3 would've been my first choice but I'm cautious of his previous injuries that seem to be nagging him throughout his short career. Both Kap and RG3 need second chances elsewhere, but not being thrown into the fire right away.

It'd be awesome if we could nab RG3 and Kap, and have them compete in training camp.

I am going to take a stab that Elway may move up in draft for Goff if he can. Some say he is over hyped and may fall a little. If he falls out of top 10 or a team just wants more picks and takes a bad trade.

Lynch is not match for this system. He is strictly a shot gun QB with poor feet due to reports.

Prescott would be the 2nd round option.

Year in and year out teams always waste a 1st rounder on a QB because they get desperate and think they'll find a diamond in the rough. There's a reason why these scouts aren't speaking highly on most of these QB's and their worth.

Focus, guys (and gals). We have a Super Bowl-winning defense and think we still do even with our losses. Let's not piss that away on a stopgap QB who won't last the season or turns the ball over in critical situations. IMO, the best "caretaker" QB in the bunch is Fitzpatrick. He's more mobile than he looks and he'll understand that he needs to limit mistakes and let his defense win the game (it's what he did in Houston and New York). Then get somebody in the draft to develop, hopefully Lynch but you could also try Cook, Prescott or Hackenberg.

If we were just an ordinary team, I'd be okay with RG3 or Kaepernick and see what they could do under Kubes but this defense is special and it would be a shame to waste it with a QB who thinks *he's* the star of the show.

At the end of the day any QB the Broncos acquire at this point wouldn't shock or surprise me. The candidates are out there for everyone to look at.

Dak is smarter, more accurate, and has a stronger arm than Tebow. And he also doesn't have the insane following and media attention. Is he a project? Yeah, probably won't be ready year 1. But I think he has way more upside than Tebow.

Listen if Kubiak is proved anything over the course of his career is that he can make average quarterbacks very good. Matt Schaub being the prime example. Very similar to what Harbaugh has done with quarterbacks over the course of his career. Kap doesnt scare me just based on lack of production last year because that team starting up front and going all the way to the head coach was horrid

What Elway needs to do is go after someone older, Fitzpatrick or Sanchez, maybe Weeden or Hoyer and draft someone like Lynch, Hackenburgh, Cook or Hogan, maybe Lynch and groom them along with Siemien for two years...with RGIII or Kaepernick we'll have a quarterback controversy very quick either because they'll do well and have someone behind them that alot of fans are excited about or they'll stink and fans want to switch even if they're not ready. With Patrick is Mark there is at most a two year leeway fans will give to bring the younger guys along.

artie_dale
03-10-2016, 10:49 AM
So, one principle I currently have is, I do not believe in using draft picks that would have been used on potential players to be traded for players that are unproven. So, AJ McCarren is out for me.

Questions surrounding Fitzpatrick and Sanchez are simply, we have seen all that they are capable of. Why invest in people who seemed to have peaked? No thanks.

RGIII & Kaep have already shown that they are athletic and can sling the ball with velocity. They are still young and have room to grow. SF is interested in CJ (who may have peaked as well and will allow us to keep some picks) and RGIII will be much cheaper to sign than Brock (I think).

I looked at highlights of Conner Cook, Dak Prescott, and Paxton Lynch.

I was turned off right away with the majority of Prescott's highlights being scrambles.

Conner Cook seemed to benefit mostly from rcvrs getting wide open. He has touch though, but his passes seemed to hang in the air for a while. NFL DB reaction, speed, and quickness exposes those lobs all too often.

I do like Paxton Lynch though. Yeah, he doesn't out shine all the other QBs, but I just like what he brings to the table more than the others.

If we don't sign one of these QBs that are left (I hope we don't trade for one), you bet your ass Elway will pull the trigger to trade up and snag one of these guys in the draft. (I'd rather trade picks for more potential than for guys who had chances to prove something and were mediocre in doing so)

I high fived you not for your like of RGIII or Kaepernick but assessment of the college quarterbacks. I think Denver trades up for Lynch who has been compared to Flacco as was Osweiler, he fits what they want. If they added Sanchez or Fitzpatrick then easy transition and low QB controversy in two years, not so with RGIII or Kaepernick.

Thanks. I'm not "high" on RGIII or Kaep (though may have seemed to give off that impression), but I do think they are young enough and offer the kind of skill set that can thrive in our system (Kubes' system). I'd rather invest now in a potential rookie if we make this move. I don't believe a rookie NEEDS to be groomed under a veteran for a couple years. But, I can see the downfalls of throwing a guy in right off the bat.

Cutler was on his way and developing nicely until that was stripped from him (they were weening him away from his bad habits). Unfortunately, Chicago took him as is and he resorted back to them.

I think a decent OL, a rookie QB can benefit from getting the reps right away.

Does Brock's numbers even look great throughout his 7 games? Or do they look at the fact that he won 5 games as a starter (with the NFL's best defense)? Criminal he won 5, considering he was benched during his 5th win.

I don't know why I do it to myself bringing up this stuff. I just can't comprehend a QB getting that much money for 7 games when the defense was the obvious reason why he won ANY of them.

I still just think RG3 has the most upside of anyone we could bring in. Kaep would be second, but I just don't trust his ability to read defenses properly or to put any sort of touch on his short throws. Fitz, Hoyer, and Sanchez aren't anything that we haven't seen from them already. McCarron might be ok, but I just don't think he's got that high of a ceiling. I'd be game to draft a QB in rounds 1-3 though.

I could see how non-mobile QBs wouldn't prefer Kubes' offense.

But, if thereare were a reason mobile QBs don't like playing in Kubes' offense, maybe its because they know rolling out may lead to injury. Which would be hard to accept since mobile QBs scramble more times than they should anyway.

Agreed. One of the things that I got to witness and that impressed me about Manziel in college is what happened from his Heisman winning redshirt Freshman year to his sophomore year. He was much more efficient and accurate and he let plays develop more instead of immediately taking off and running. So, I know he has the capacity to develop and in reality...we dont know what his ceiling really is. But until he figures out his life outside of football...no one will ever know.

I like the Casserly notion that if you need one...get two. So I'd be okay if Denver brought him in on a VERY friendly team deal to see if he figures it out. If he doesn't...no loss.

Fair enough; painting it as an either/or is probably a false dichotomy.
