We are now entering the Kyle Sloter era.

Go Broncos!

Honestly...I doubt I even watch. I dunno, I can never muster interest for game 4.

Who even are you?

[Davii]

Won't be televised here. I'll catch up in this thread and I'll catch the replay once they broadcast it on NFLN. I want to see more from Sloter. Hopefully he's able to make the staff at least comfortable with him as an emergency option behind Trevor while Paxton heals up, hopefully he's more than just an impressive camp arm. We shall see.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

I have to wait until Friday evening to watch

[Tned]

If you guys haven't already done a free Gamepass trial, they do offer a 7 day trial, so you could sign up, stream the game live and then cancel it.

This is a great idea. It shall be done.

This is a great idea. It shall be done.

Only downside is that the stream is often 5-15 seconds behind live, so if you are in gameday thread or following reporters on Twitter, you might see it online before on the stream.

Hmm, I might be able to get that app on my roku

[VonDoom]

I'll be watching for Sloter. That's about it. These fourth games are usually a joke.

It actually behooves us to lose this game, per this random stat I saw last week:

Or you could just do what I have been doing for the last 10 years and watch the broncos on an illegal livestream broadcast that is constantly 1 minute behind and alternates between GLORIOUS 560p and 480p

[Tned]

You can. The game was several minutes, possibly five minutes in, last week before it showed the live stream option. I started out on my computer until the live stream option was available in the NFL roku app.

Not sure if you need to give them a credit card and cancel before the trial ends to not be charged. I didn't check that far.

dear god, look at the group of scrubs we're running out there as a 2nd string OL. . . embarrassing!

They're bashing Sloter and Stephenson for that sack over on MHR.

Looks as if Stephenson may be much the same as last year . . .

Stephenson can't even block a 3rd stringer for more than a second. :tsk:

I think Carter and Orion Stewart started at safeties

They're going to need more than just good first strings.

Maybe this isn't a 10-win team . . .

Sloter held it too long. But man, our OL scrubs are bad.

Just wondering. If Simmons isn't starting, that's telling. Seems so, anyway.

Yeah, McGovern is fine, otherwise I could do without any of them. As soon as I saw Dillon Day's hair out there, I knew we were in trouble

Another special teams penalty. I read that we lead the preseason in penalties going into this game with a whopping 45. Gonna have to do better than that

[Ziggy]

Deangelo Henderson has to be frustrated running behind this garbage.

[Simple Jaded]

would you keep him over shelby harris?

**** no, Harris, Jarrett and Sloter makes the team if it's me. You can make room by cutting the dead weight of all their 2nd and 3rd round busts.

Apparently they're already cutting Latimer, which makes sense cause he's the only one them that's shown anything this year.

Latimer, Schofield, Sampro, Gotsis. Put Gotsis on the PS.

Stephenson almost responsible for 2 safeties tonight.

[Poet]

Oh baby, you gotta release that ball.

[dogfish]

at least sloter keeps his eyes down the field. . .

[Davii]

Pretty obvious so far why most of these guys won't make the team.

[Ziggy]

Anyone hate the Bolles pick now?

[Ziggy]

Gotsis blew that play up.

[Simple Jaded]

Stephenson gonna give up another safety right here.

[Ziggy]

Nah, time for a Deangelo Henderson 99 yard run.

[Ziggy]

You just can't cut Sunshine.

[Poet]

Anyone hate the Bolles pick now?

It was the only pick.

Sloter's our best QB. It's obvious.

[AgentOrange]

Here's the Sloter I was hoping to see.

[topscribe]

Sounds as if Sloter is giving good account of himself . . .

[Tned]

I'm not sure I'm comfortable risking tonight's backup quarterback having him run routes like that...

Two great plays by Sloter and the receivers.

109.7 rating.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Sloter's arm is fantastic.

[Poet]

He's made two throws tonight that TS can't because he has little talent and Lynch cant' because he's...Lynch.

He's the starter.

[ShaneFalco]

Siemians big balls get in the way when he is making throws

[VonDoom]

That pass on the run to Nash was ridiculous

[Poet]

That was Sloter's TD! He is our only QB who has a combination of talent and grit. God I love that arm.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Watching Ridley run makes me LOL. He runs with his head back almost like it's too damned heavy to hold up. I've noticed it throughout the preseason.

[Poet]

That pass on the run to Nash was ridiculous

That was on par with Rodgers!

Mu-hahahahahahaha! That is so precious! You just keep believing little boy.

Sambrailo looks good at center.

You could trade him.

[GEM]

Time to just be honest with themselves. ..Lynch is a bust. Groom Sloter.

[Cugel]

I can't see if Stephenson is in the game. He was responsible for both safeties (near safety). Dave Logan Broncos KOA announcer said that fans booed him as he left the field after the first one. The fact he's playing in this game is not good for him, and he's not doing himself any favours with his play. Could be he will finally be cut.

About 1 year later, but whatever.

[Davii]

That'll work as well

[Poet]

Time to just be honest with themselves. ..Lynch is a bust. Groom Sloter.

Lynch deserves one more year. But we should start Sloter, he's rough, but he can still make plays that TS never will. Cut TS after Lynch is healed, start Sloter, give PL one more year, and then draft someone else who is worth it.

[VonDoom]

Time to just be honest with themselves. ..Lynch is a bust. Groom Sloter.

Some of us have been saying this for weeks. Instead they'll cut Sloter and say that Lynch is progressing nicely

[I Eat Staples]

Groom Sloter.

I don't know, I think he's already pretty good looking, but I guess a new hair style wouldn't hurt.

[Simple Jaded]

Time to just be honest with themselves. ..Lynch is a bust. Groom Sloter.

Sloter only played one college season at QB but he played in a Pro Style offense. It matters.

[GEM]

Langley is a baller!

[Cugel]

Time to just be honest with themselves. ..Lynch is a bust. Groom Sloter.

If by "groom" you mean keep him on the 53, they don't want to do that but I don't see any choice unless they sign a veteran QB after Saturday cuts. All the reports are they will look hard for a veteran QB but I think that's just nuts!

What more do they need to see? He's not perfect, but for a rookie he's shown a lot of poise. Certainly a lot more than Paxton.

[Ziggy]

We're looking at the future of the NFZ. Langley and Carter.

[GEM]

Some of us have been saying this for weeks. Instead they'll cut Sloter and say that Lynch is progressing nicely

I've been saying it. Just gets more defined each time Sloter is in.

[Davii]

Really dumb move by Raymond to field that punt.

[Simple Jaded]

Who thinks TS is better than Sloter on this day?

Shots fired.

Hey, remember when we were calling him Kyle Romo to mock people who were excited to see him throw? That was funny.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

Damn Sloter has a gun.

[Cugel]

I've been saying it. Just gets more defined each time Sloter is in.

I'd just get rid of Paxton right now, but there's Zero chance of that. So:

1. They have to put Paxton on IR if they want to keep Sloter on the 53 without losing another position player.

2. "Sloter looks comfortable in the pocket. He looks decisive out there. If they don't want to put Paxton on the PUP, which they told me tonight that is highly unlikely, although I keep hearing that Paxton's injury might cause him to miss 4 or more games.. ." - Dave Logan on Broncos KOA Radio.

It's his throwing shoulder. They're being stupid. He's not going to be fully healed before game #6 anyway. They should just bite the bullet and take Sloter as the backup.

But, they are not cutting Paxton this season. He's getting another chance next off-season.

Why? The Golden Rule: He Who Pays The Gold Makes The Rules! :laugh:

[topscribe]

Who thinks TS is better than Sloter on this day?
King, I like Sloter a lot. He's from my alma mater.

But he has played with scrubs. We don't know what he'd do with and against first teams.
In fact, reports came back from camp that he was having a lot of trouble with them in practice.

Both of those were Donald Stephenson's fault. Mr. Turnstyle!

The fact Stephenson is playing in this game when virtually none of the players certain to make the team are playing, plus he's a veteran. . . .

Then he barfed on his own shoes.

[HORSEPOWER 56]

I know he's not ready to start, but letting Sloter walk would be a mistake, IMO. Not only does he have great velocity, his release is a thing of beauty. He has no wind up. It goes straight up to his ear and is out with a perfect overhand delivery. Siemian has to set his feet and use his whole body for those types of throws and Lynch has a big wind-up. Sloter has a Michael Vick-like release. Once he commits, it's up and out of his hand in the blink of an eye.

Seriously, I haven't seen a release like that in a Bronco unit since JFE. It sure is pretty.

[GEM]

Like nearly setting an NFL record with two safeties in one quarter?

Caused by the still pathetic oline. Stephenson got raped.

[VonDoom]

Put aside the fact that I really like Sloter. I just don't understand why they wouldn't keep him, even in the short term, even if that wasn't their original plan, with Lynch being hurt. Lynch will stay on the active roster as he recovers, so they'll need three QB anyway. Who would you rather have - the guy who's been on your team for the whole preseason and knows your offense? Or random scrap heap QB - not a veteran, mind you - who doesn't know your system at all? Who would you trust to come in if Siemian went down?

[Simple Jaded]

I don't recall this at all.

But I award it 4,000 style points!

No. Seriously. To the people here who were telling us about this guy, you nailed it. I pay homage! Warhorse and Ziggy, right?

I think it was Frey mocking us, probably cause TS is ever so dreamy.

[AgentOrange]

I agree with those who believe they won't cut Lynch. I think he reminds Elway of himself when he was starting. Not sure who here was watching in '83, but Elway was similar; big gun but wanted to pull it down and run too often. Elway's pride is part of it, too, and he doesn't want to give up on his pet project just yet. Maybe they see more than we have, and if Lynch ever got his head together (doubtful) there's lots of upside. Unfortunately it appears the speed of the game is too much for him.

In the mean time, I'm rooting for Sloter. I like dark horses, and Sloter's got a great story. I think the adversity he's faced may give him the ability to shake off a bad play or a bad game. I also think TS and Sloter play similarly enough that if he goes in for TS the playbook can remain the same.

[Tned]

He could have just climbed the ladder...

Seriously though, the second sack he held the ball way too long, and the second one he drifted back beyond the protection. Don't get me wrong, Stephenson sucks, but it's pretty well established all sacks are on the QB.

Broncos Country will be ready to lynch Elway and VJ if Sloter gets released after this game. He's made some real good throws.

Elway didn't help the kid any with the "he's coming along well.... he'll be ready sooner than many think" or whatever it was he said. He's just starting his second year and he was a 2-3 year project. I'm not quite ready to give up on him.

He's a 5 year project. He's regressed, doesn't have the work ethic to improve even minutely. He doesn't take it seriously. Effing done with him.

Deep down in North Colorado close to Kyles Dreams.
Way back up in the woods among the evergreens
There stood a log cabin made of earth and wood
Where lived a country boy named Sloter B. Goode
Who never ever learned to read or write so well
But he could play a bronco quarterback just like a-ringing a bell

Love me some Juwan, but i think he's done here. :(

Sloter's the next Jesus and if the Broncos cut him they will suck for 100 years.

It's a Sloterhouse, nomad! :D

Auditioning for other teams. Hope he's done enough to get picked up after he's cut.

Sloter watch: 90.5

[topscribe]

This is turning out to be a looooong game. I think I'll just go to work.

Talk atcha later . . .

I wanna play cards with you

[underrated29]

We are crushing them 23-2 or something absurd. Now we are just running down their throats killing clock

[ShaneFalco]

I also listen to this as Sloter drives and my cheeks are clenched.

I'll look forward to the replay of the game tomorrow. I'm sure Warhorse is extremely thrilled. :D

Trade/cut Lynch and keep Sloter on the 53. Paxton isn't half the QB Sloter is. Lynch will never look as good as Sloter has in his first 4 games. I realize it's preseason, but it's preseason in which Lynch looks terrible as well.

This game's become Sloterific.

He started slow, but once he got the pace, he's been able to make great decisions. Yeah, I know this is a 3rd string defense, but still looks good. Really good.

Lynch is having to learn his second new offense in two years.

[underrated29]

lol Arizona has 22 total yards this half

[Simple Jaded]

Double coverage my ass, that's Sloter looking off the S to make that play work.

The Broncos need to hire Steve Fairchild to coach QB's.

[Tned]

@MaseDenver: Sloter's preseason numbers: 31-of-43 for 413 yards, 3 TDs, 0 INTs, 125.4 rating.

From the looks of it he hasn't learned shit in 2 years

[Simple Jaded]

Put Lynch on the PUP if you have to but you can't cut Sloter.

[VonDoom]

Is that good?

[Tned]

He's not eligible for the PUP.

[underrated29]

Sloter has also drawn the d offsides 3 times this game

[BeefStew25]

The mini IR deal.

But Sloter playing against dead men walking.

[VonDoom]

That was the first time our new RB has touched the ball, as far as I can remember. Not a great look

[Tned]

I want to see Jordan Taylor!

[Simple Jaded]

Another dropped Int, that's 3 on Doss tonight.

[Simple Jaded]

He's not eligible for the PUP.

Since when?

[Tned]

Another dropped Int, that's 3 on Doss tonight.

Put him on PUP.

[Tned]

Since when?

Since forever. He's not eligible for PUP.

[Simple Jaded]

Since forever. He's not eligible for PUP.

Then Ryan Harris has some splainin to do.

[Tned]

Since forever. He's not eligible for PUP.

P.S. Even thought it's called the physically unable to perform list, doesn't mean that a QB that clearly can't "perform" gets to go on it. Although I will say that in that case, Lynch would be the poster child.

[Simple Jaded]

Put him on PUP.

I'm about put you on my boot up your.......

[Tned]

Then Ryan Harris has some splainin to do.

Most of these radio/media types don't know their ass from a hole in a whore when it comes to knowing the NFL rules. They get it wrong more than not.

To be eligible for PUP (or NFI, which is the same as PUP), you cannot have participated in a single practice in training camp/preseason. So, Booker who was hurt before TC is eligible for PUP and guys like Kelly/Butt are eligible for NFI (non football injury) list. Henderson and Lynch and others hurt in training camp are not eligible.

:micdrop:

Whoever chose > 100 rating in the Sloter Watch wins. He will finish with a 110.8 rating tonight.

Lynch is kinda meh and needs one more go at it. At this point the risk reward is so slanted that keeping him is the easy call. We're play potodds at this point.

I know he's not ready to start, but letting Sloter walk would be a mistake, IMO. Not only does he have great velocity, his release is a thing of beauty. He has no wind up. It goes straight up to his ear and is out with a perfect overhand delivery. Siemian has to set his feet and use his whole body for those types of throws and Lynch has a big wind-up. Sloter has a Michael Vick-like release. Once he commits, it's up and out of his hand in the blink of an eye.

Seriously, I haven't seen a release like that in a Bronco unit since JFE. It sure is pretty.

Freakin A

The kid can sling the rock. Cutting him is stupid. Don't be so freaking stubborn John!

He has insane velocity, and his release has to be amongst the best in the league. TS has to use his entire body because he has an average arm, and Lynch's mechanics aren't exactly known to be wonderful.

The Slotheads called it. I was tardy to the party.

And Sloter just came from Northern Colorado. Paxton has had the playbook longer that Kyle has.

It's just unfortunate that he never gets to because he can't read a defense, can't make progressions and immediately runs when he can't make a throw (90% of the time).

Yet Kyle had a better grasp of it. Hmmmmm...

i was gonna say. . . :laugh:



this sucks, though. . . and it double sucks if roster maneuvering to cover for that scrub lynch is involved in the TJ bullshit. . . some dudes in the front office need to remember that it's always a team game, and do what's right for our team, not cover for their damn egos. . . stop being stubborn-- put lynch on the damn IR, you don't even have to admit publicly that he's not ready to play. . . say the shoulder recovery is gonna take longer than anticipated, and you don't want to take any chances rushing him back. . .

it's not like he can't use the extra time in the film room and his playbook. . . personally, i think they need to IR both PL and carlos henderson, as IMO they both have guys ahead of them that are more ready for prime time. . . you can bring two guys back this year, it's not like you're shutting them down. . . really though, does anyone honestly think lynch is even as ready to play as sloter, let alone more so? i know, i know-- sloter didn't play against the ones. . . lynch couldn't get past the first read against ones or twos, and showed no ability to move the ball in any situation. . . somebody want to give me a compelling argument why it's imperative to have him available to be the backup? we're really going to win games with him, that we wouldn't win with other backups? i doubt it. . . whatever his potential is, IMO we've wasted enough time and resources on the guy for this year. . . he ate up precious first team reps that could have gone to our starter, who isn't exactly a seasoned vet himself. . . okay, fine-- you give your talented first rounder every opportunity, i get it. . . he didn't make the most of it, so don't now compound it by wasting a roster spot that could be given to a more valuable contributor just so the kid can practice. . . IR him, and roll with sloter as your backup to start the year-- you're no worse off with a raw but talented kid who knows the playbook than with some journeyman loser who doesn't. . . if the defense is playing well enough to carry freakin' charlie whitehurst or cleo lemon or whoever, they can probably drag sloter's ass along too. . . if trevor gets hurt or flames out, you can always bring lynch back midway, and get him reps with an eye towards next year. . .

or, be proud about it. . . if they do expose kyle to waivers, i wouldn't feel real sure that a team like the jags or jets can't find a spot on their roster for a kid with his obvious ability, and seeming intangibles. . .

Its hard to watch this and know Sloter probably won't ever fire a regular season throw for Denver...

Yeah. That's the throw. If Siemian has that ability, he sure as hell hasn't shown it.
