Mark Sanchez to Broncos for 2017 conditional draft pick no doubt based on play time/production #9news #9sports

I would assume we are still going after Kap/rg3/fitz. If the plan is butt fumble and a rookie who probably won't be ready year 1, I will be afraid. Very afraid.

Nah. Sanchez is paid as a backup in Phili. He's just the gap filler until we can move in the draft to possibly draft PAXTON LYNCH (I'm hopeful). A conditional draft pick tells me that if Sanchez sucks, we ain't giving up a high pick, and since Elway stuck to his guns about giving up anything to high for Kaep, if Sanchez does decent, we still ain't giving up high pick. I think this is a safe move, even though I do not like Sanchez. Not even a little bit.

"Conditional draft pick" says it all, IMHO:

"If you give us Sanchez we'll give you our next 2nd round pick if he plays >50% of 2016 (which there's no chance in HELL we'll let him do. :))"

Sanchez is signed at a reasonable backup rate ($4.5 million), and it seems reasonable to think the Broncos are still looking for a starter.

The Sanchize!

In all seriousness, he's not good, as we all know. But a) he's cheap and b) he was productive in 2010/11 when the Jets went to back to back AFCCG. Those teams had great defenses and he was a game manager. He should be fine in a system where we run the ball a lot behind a good o-line. Of course, our line isn't good and we have no RB's on the roster, but we can always hope!

The latest word is that Kaep and the Broncos were able to agree on a contract...but the Broncos and Niners were unable to agree on draft pick compensation....and the Browns and Niners are able to agree on draft pick comp, but not on contract terms with Kaep.

My approach to this next season is that if we win the division, that's a bonus (new QB, new personnel, upgraded Raiders team). If we make it further than that then that is a super bonus.

So with that, we need to build. Our Defense will keep us in the mix, but the chances that they are as good as they were last season are slim. I'm okay with it.

I'm thinking since Sanchez is currently so cheap, I think Elway trades up in this draft to get one of the QBs (I hope it's Paxton Lynch). Just made this draft that much more interesting for me.

Only problem there is Sanchez has one year left and most scouts think Lynch needs 2 years to develop. I still think another QB is brought in and if we're lucky enough to draft Lynch for development, then we can dump Siemian.

The theory is that Chip Kelly apparently still fancies Mark Sanchez, so Elway may be using Sanchez as a piece of the trade puzzle to avoid giving SF a 2nd or 3rd pick for Kaep. It's not a stretch imo.

Trade him straight across for Kaep. That would be awesome, he never plays a down for us so we don't have to give up anything for the conditional pick... Elway would instantly increase his GM street cred.

That would still come with Kaep's price (which isn't unreasonable). I do think Sanchez's production is comparable to Kaep's & RGIII's. Just a matter of deciding to make a move to pay more for similar production or keep Sanchez on the cheap and get similar production.

Ah, OK, that's actually not bad logic then: Comp picks are at the end of the round, but we're ALREADY picking at the end of the round (except for the 4th, where we've already traded away our pick.) So trade our natural pick and use a comp pick that's practically the same spot anyway.

In fact, that's EXACTLY what NE* did with its 3rd round natural and comp picks last year:

That's not what this means at all.

He has been in close talks with Kaep and then it stalls and bam a new QB.

This has been what he does works multi angles at one time and if one does not work he takes the other. DRC and Talib was this way. Allen and ware was this was. Looks like the exact same scenario to me. Go for trade for Kaep while working with other QB, one did not work so he went with other. Sanchez has 1 year left on contract, to me that means draft a new QB.

Lets not exaggerate the role of Kaep ths early. One, he's young so that if he DOES turn things around, we could have a good QB for years. If not, we still can draft a QB. But there is no reason to think the signing Kaep makes him our "Franchise" QB by any means.

Smart move by the Broncos. Everyone seems to forget that Sanchez ran a run first offense with a good defense that went to back to back AFC Championships. He's not a Superstar, but a game manager with a good arm, he either ends up a stopgap or as the backup. As to the trade theory, Baalke is the GM, no way do they trade Kaepernik who has value straight across for Sanchez, no matter what Chip wants...Denver would still have to give up a pretty good pick.

I agree. He can still play. Hell, wouldn't it be something if his time under Chip Kelly and the speediness of Chip's offense makes adjusting to a Kubiak offense easier for him to do? Its possible.

He comes at a solid price too, and probably his agent and Broncos talking extension for an extra year or two, Von Miller can get his deal done, they can either retain Anderson or go after another tailback now. With Kaepernick looking at around 13 mil. same with Fitzpatrick.

Morris or Foster, maybe both. Sanchez gives Broncos breathing room. I think they either draft Lynch or Cook, they may well consider trading day up for Wentz who they are real high on. Nothing would surprise me. But I like the Sanchez signing a lot more then adding Kaepernick or RGIII, though would have been okay with Fitzpatrick coming here.

Barnwell says:


As for the Broncos, while it's easy to turn Sanchez into a punchline, the reality is that he was probably the highest-floor quarterback available to them. They're not done shopping at quarterback, given that they could still add Colin Kaepernick or Robert Griffin III, but Sanchez is a upper-echelon backup and a reasonable emergency starter. It's hard to even argue that this is a significant downgrade for the Broncos at quarterback, given that they spent most of last year trotting out (and winning with) a very limited Peyton Manning at quarterback.

Sanchez has also thrown 15 INT in that time period, which is my only real concern. Part of that was the up tempo Kelly offense. He's actually better suited to run the kind of scheme we want to run, similar to his early success with the Jets. I think he's actually better now than when he played for them.

We could do a lot worse for a veteran backup, that's for sure. As a starter? I don't see it yet, but it is just one piece as Elway said.

I would assume we are still going after Kap/rg3/fitz. If the plan is butt fumble and a rookie who probably won't be ready year 1, I will be afraid. Very afraid.

Lol, Sanchez is really no worse than the other guys we have been looking at. The QB position this year is going to be questionable anyway no matter if its a rookie or one of the B and C rate players we've been hearing about. If people honestly believe players like Kap or RGIII are going to flourish in Denver they are smoking a lot of crack. When Sanchez has had a great defense he has at least been able to make it to a pair of AFCCG's in the process. The reality is Denver's long term future QB probably wont materialize for a couple of years.

Problem is Fitzpatrick wants 13 mil. a season, not 7 to 9 as the Jets are offering, and RGIII might be willing to take that to reboot his career, whereas Kaepernick will be looking for similar to Fitzpatrick money. Osweiler's deal, the one he got from Houston would have killed our cap, we may restructure to open a few million up with Clady and Ware, but outside quarterback we still have to solidify a roster. I say go with Sanchez, Siemien and either Lynch or Cook, maybe one of the top two...but our franchise quarterback will likely be our draftee or Siemien, those who want him to have a shot should love this move.

No issues with him at backup QB, that is what you want, a vet that can step in in a pinch.

I have no doubts we will get at least as much from him if he were starting as last years superbowl winning QB.

Is it too much to ask though that we score more than 20 points in a game? :(

They're re-tooling the offense, right now Sanchez gives them room to focus on Von, maybe Marshall, a running back and re-working Clady and Ware's contracts. Also gives them time to better evaluate rookie quarterbacks and focus on those they like.

Who won their head-to-head? The preference of an offensively-challenged defensive guru like Rex Ryan means little: Look what kind of QBs he considers "good."

Maybe GOOD QB coaching like Kubiaks instead of the Ryan and Schottenheimer Show could make Sanchez decent, but he'll be 30 by seasons end. By then, I think most QBs are what they'll always be; trying to fix bad ones that late is usually a losing battle against indelibly ingrained and very BAD instincts and habits. I've long thought Shanny and Kubiak might've salvaged Plummer had he made it to Denver sooner; instead they had a constant hopeless war to keep his head in the game.

Plummer, of course, arrived in Denver at 29, turning 30 the following December; Sanchez hits 30 in November....

Note that the preceding is in no way an argument for Tebow: He turns 29 in August, and his skill level's a LOT more than a single year behind Sanchez'. Too late. :tsk:

Nah, not chainsaw worthy. We got him cheap with a cheap contract to deal with. Not bad for a backup....now if he's the starter and we do nothing else, we may need to revisit this decision. ;)

We'll do more and I'd even be fine if he was our starter. I mean, how much leverage do they have when they are under contract for $4.5M - $5.5M? I'm sure they can justify talking Elway up a little, but the bottom line is he's already under contract.

Let's let CJ have a fresh start reunited with Gase and lets go get Alfred Morris (IF he's not over weight).

Lol, Sanchez is really no worse than the other guys we have been looking at. The QB position this year is going to be questionable anyway no matter if its a rookie or one of the B and C rate players we've been hearing about. If people honestly believe players like Kap or RGIII are going to flourish in Denver they are smoking a lot of crack. When Sanchez has had a great defense he has at least been able to make it to a pair of AFCCG's in the process. The reality is Denver's long term future QB probably wont materialize for a couple of years.

Exactly. If we can go undefeated with as bad as Peyton played this season, and win the division and SB with as many dropped passes this season, and have a sporadic run game ALL season, and have terrible inconsistent OL play, Sanchez kind of sounds like he could be an upgrade (that's not really a reach either). If we keep our D fluent, really all that needs major repair (because any QB at this point would almost be a parallel move when compared to who we had) is shoring up our OL. And getting a qualify RB. Our O should naturally be upgraded to at least average (can everyone agree that we were below average last season?).

Come on man. Being "thankful" for what Tebow accomplished is one thing. But to disregard all the other factors that it took in order for him to accomplish what he did is the only way to give him full credit. Our defense was amazing for him that season. They never get an inkling of gratitude for carrying Tebow the entire season (well, after he was given the keys).

And Tebow didn't earn the starting job, Kyle Orton lost it.
The offense had to be entirely revamped to cater to Tebow's abilities, because maybe the coaches realized he sure as hell wasn't going to be able to adapt to their needs.
Lastly, that wild card game against the Steelers, it was literally won be DT. An over-time dump pass that resulted in a two-for-one stiff-arm and a sprint of around 70 yards.

My favorite thing about Tebow when he was on the field was his poise and positive attitude.
The thing that irked me the very most was after a 3 & out, or a turnover, not once did he go to the sideline and review pre-snap photos with the OC.

Since his time in Denver, I've concluded for myself that there must be one of three possible reasons he is not an NFL QB:
1) He is just terrible and that is the reason why he can't stay on a roster (likely the case)
2) He is actually good enough to make a roster, but NFL coaches do not want him because he's Tebow (not likely because it is closest to a conspiracy)
3) He is actually good enough to make an NFL roster, but coaches, GMs, and owners do not want to deal with his fan base because they are overwhelming and suffocating (can be the case as well)

Ravage!!!

They never get an inkling of gratitude for carrying Tebow the entire season (well, after he was given the keys).

I'm not disregarding anything. He was a sophomore QB who hadn't ever had 1st team reps. Some people want to ignore that when they will give that benefit of doubt and inexperience to any number of other rookie/first time starters in the league. He didn't look super impressive, but he (or his team as some want to say) won games, and it looked to me like he was growing/learning. His mechanics in preseason last year for the eagles looked like they did address or at least begin to address a lot of the criticisms of his technique. I'm simply not willing to throw out as lost a QB who was has a winning NFL record and playoff win without ever having been the starter for a full season. Lots of current backup QB's simply don't have that pedigree.


And Tebow didn't earn the starting job, Kyle Orton lost it.

Fair enough. Yet, Tebow was ostensibly 3rd on the depth chart... So, I guess he beat out Quinn? Seems like he did a fair job replacing the guy who lost the job because the team was sucking shit. That's all I'm looking at.


The offense had to be entirely revamped to cater to Tebow's abilities, because maybe the coaches realized he sure as hell wasn't going to be able to adapt to their needs.

This is where I disagree with most people and I think one of the biggest reasons his career is now dead. The offense did NOT have to be revamped. That was a choice the coaches made and it did Tebow and his career no favors. He looked way better before they "revamped" the offense in the games he played (see the houston game the season before). The "revamped" offense made the broncos ENTIRELY one dimensional especially because of the stupid shit Fox said about the subject.


Lastly, that wild card game against the Steelers, it was literally won be DT. An over-time dump pass that resulted in a two-for-one stiff-arm and a sprint of around 70 yards.

Lol. I know this is always the way with tebow. Receiver stats count for every other QB in the world besides Tebow. I'm used to it. Tebow was on around the 15 yard line and hit DT in stride around the 36 yard line. That's hardly a "dump pass", but whatever.
