If Brock plays ok it's actually possible Trevor gets cut if they bring Kelly to the active roster.

[Shazam!]

If Brock plays ok it's actually possible Trevor gets cut if they bring Kelly to the active roster.

Can't he be traded? Doesnt he have another year?

I believe Kelly is the real deal.

[Rick]

They won't be keeping 4 active QBs.

If Kelly appears to not be injured, can they really stick him back on the IR? Not sure on that one.

If he is healthy though, and Brock is doing ok, Paxton is going nowhere, so where does that leave Trevor? Trade deadline has passed.

Something like 21 days now for Broncos to decide if Kelly goes to IR.

[Cugel]

Supposedly they will decide this weekend. And unless a team needs a QB and is willing to put him on their 53 man roster in mid-season nobody will sign him.

Completely the clubs discretion.

After the six weeks, they have 21 days to decide if the player is ready to practice. If they decide he is, then he can practice for 21 days. At the end of that time, if they don't add him to the active roster (53 man roster) than he automatically moves to the IR list.

[Tned]

I believe Kelly is the real deal.

agreed.

[Shazam!]

I believe Kelly is the real deal.

agreed.

I see no other QB on our roster with the kind of versatility he has. He can do it all. I think he is the closest thing to QB of the future and the best prospect they had in years.

I hope they give him the chance. Thats all we could ask.

He'll have to show that he's not a complete nutcase anymore for me to have much hope that he'll ever accomplish much of anything in the NFL. I'm far from convinced.

Just like any college player, his game may or may not translate to the NFL. Then there is the "no longer a nutcase" factor that Wave rightly mentions.

He played in a mostly pro style offense. I believe his game translates excellent to the NFL. But, is he a headcase?

He can't do worse than a QB now known as ?!$@face. I just want them to not waste the pick and give him a legit shot. Because if it weren'tfor off field issues and injury, he could probably have gone much higher.

I'm hoping for the best. I think I was the first to use a #Kelly2018 hashtag in the off season. I just know that over 50% of first round QBs are busts, including a lot picked in the top 10. He's a long shot. An intriguing one and one I'm hoping can be a legit, higher end starter for the Broncos, but he's a long shot.

[Freyaka]

Who would trade for him? Who wants a steaming pile of feces for a QB? I don't get why people think we can trade Trevor for anything more than a half eaten snickers and a used condom...

Geez guys. Trevor is a human and prolly a good one.

Based on what? Nothing much really. He will get his chance in training camp next season. Until then it's a waste of time to worry about him much.

Elway is very likely to move up in the draft in the first round to get a top elite QB prospect, in which case Chad Kelly will be as much of an afterthought as Kyle Sloter was. And said QB prospect will sit on the bench until he is ready to start, behind some veteran not named Trevor Siemian.

[Cugel]

Trevor Siemian was a 7th round pick. Nobody in the NFL could ever understand why the Broncos started him in the first place. Nobody outside the organization ever believed he could be a starting Qb. Now that he has proven that he can't, why would they change their minds and suddenly want him? He's finished in the NFL as a starter. He will have to go somewhere and compete for a backup role, that he is likely to win. He's smart enough to back up somewhere.

Just not good enough to win games when you have to rely on him.

There aren't any "top elite QB prospects" in the upcoming draft.

I hadn't even taken the time to name Paxton, but he's looking like butt pirate at this point. :D

[Hawgdriver]

really the last few games. He's gone David Carr on us. Abort! Abort!

To deny he had potential is at odds with his early season results and camp. He just got demolished, lost ability to perform in battle, and needed to take a seat. Some of it is on the line but really he couldn't compensate the way a lot of pros compensate and adapt.

[Shazam!]

You see, that's the thing.

What happened to David Carr?

He was beaten to a pulp to the point it ruined him.

Siemien has all the mechanical tools of a pocket passer QB. He has shown much better instinct in the past but the total breakdown of the OLine destroyed him.

The inept OLine broke Trevor mentally while it hastened Peytons demise and broke him physically.

I don't see Oz having a much better go of it over the next two weeks either.

[DT88TheGreat]

Hopefully that was immaturity and Uncle Jim whacked him over the head a few times.

If your scouting is the same thing you used to dub Trevor a good starting quarterback then you already wrote the final chapter for Kelly, also whats stopping kelly from being ruined like Trevor was by fox kubiak and Joseph? Also Kelly is vance Joseph's hand picked guy, his favorite qb in the draft, also Vance is going nowhere.... So how does Kelly succeed?

[Simple Jaded]

Who cares if Kelly is a nutcase as long as he can play? TS has the personality of a wet mop but his teammates wanted him to be starter.

It wasnt magic that he started 20 something NFL games. This wasn't a young Peyton getting abused out there. This was a 7th rd pick thrust into a very tough situation that he wasn't ready for. He is still young and has much to learn.

His decline was a product of a horrible offensive line imo. He couldnt handle the pressure and abuse. He isnt the first QB to get ruined by the beatings he took. He took some monster shots out there and it has clearly affected him.

I could even agree with you but what difference would it make? Trevor was an 7th round pick. No 7th round pick has ever won a SB to my knowledge. The only guys not drafted in the first two rounds to win SBs were Brady, Warner and Russell Wilson (3RD round).

Most teams didn't even bother to scout him. So, he exceeded expectations to become a starter. He'd have to exceed them twice more to be SB caliber Q B and that didn't happen. No surprise.

It is actually called the "Peter Principle" which states that in any organization a man who is successful at one level will continue to rise up in the organization until he reaches his "level of incompetence." Unfortunately.

Yes. And now his days starting for the Broncos are over. Done. He will never start another game for them barring injury. So, about a 50% probability they are forced to give him another start prior to the year's end.

But, unless that happens and he suddenly starts looking like Aaron Rogers out there then he's gone in January and will be backing up for another team somewhere next season. They are not going to be "patient" with him because there's no upside to keeping him around.

Next year the starting QB is, in order of each player being given a chance:

1. Osweiler (if he plays well in his chance)

2. Paxton (if Giraffe #1 flames out but Paxton comes in and impresses the coaching staff - yeah, like that's gonna happen!)

3. Chad Kelly (wildly unlikely they start Mr. Irrelevant, but he could wind up being the backup if the Broncos sign a FA veteran QB to start)

4. A FA veteran who could be someone Elways figures is undervalued - like they took a flyer on the Butt-Fumbler only to see him bumble his way out of town with turnovers).

5. A move up in the first round to secure a future franchise QB. This will be the most likely scenario if the Broncos tank the rest of the season, and run Osweiler and Lynch out of town. In that case of course, Kelly is relegated to the practice squad unless they carry 3 QBs on the active roster and they will probably try and secure a veteran starter until the rookie is ready to start - i.e. the same scenario they tried with Paxton Lynch only he was never ready to step in and start.

[DT88TheGreat]

You'd swear Paxton lynch has been in the league for 5 year's or so the way many talk. This dude has like 1 start, 1 year and a half experience as a pro. Hasn't even had enough time to officially flame out. I guarantee the Broncos can trade lynch today for something and theredI be multiple teams wanting him. Not so much for Trevor though.

So you have to give him a shot, dude has like a 4 or 5 year contract and he was actually predicted by allllll the experts to need 2-3 red shirt year's, the only way to speed that process up is to actually play in GAME'S. Which is why he must play.

[DT88TheGreat]

A move up in the first round for who exactly? Someone show me a elite prospect coming out.

[DT88TheGreat]

If the Broncos are picking 12 or so I sure as hell hope tbey draft roquan smith, MLB from Georgia, a athletic and mentally gifted inside backer who can actually cover tight ends and running backs out the back field.

Lamar Jackson is seen in most mocks as the number one pick or best quarterback prospect, which lets you know just how weak the class is and im somebody who thinks he is actually the best quarterback prospect but number one overall? Nah that says the class is weak if Jackson is the number one pick. There are much better offensive weapons (including some good tackles) coming out to be had in the top 5 over any of this group of quarterback. All of thrm lool like they'll need multiple year's before they even have a shot.

Dude has shown literally nothing in that time. Usually there are spurts. Flashes of brilliant talent but inconsistent. But, Paxton has been pretty consistently bad. They keep saying "he's just not ready" but when will he ever be ready?

There's just nothing to indicate he ever will. I don't think there's an example of a first round QB not starting for his team eventually outside of Johnny Manziel but Aaron Rogers who sat behind a Hall of Famer.

Paxton couldn't beat out Trevor and we know he sucks. I don't think Paxton thinks he's a starting caliber QB any more. His confidence seems to be shot after losing the QB competition so badly. It wasn't even close.

Yeah man id keep adding as much talent as possible to the defense. The d line is shaping up great, now we need that insane inside backer, I like Marshall but I think he's better when he is not the main guy in the middle like when we had trevathan. Roquan is my guy if we're picking10-12. Qnd if we get closer id still take roquan or one of the two top 10 tackles. Whoever loses the battle at LT just plays RT even further solidifying our o line with two first round picks at the tackle slots.

Trading up for a quarterback in this year's draft shouldn't be a option. Let the coaches coach some of our young talent at the pposition and if nobody shows by next seasons end that they are looking the part as a franchise quarterback then maybe take a look at bringing in another guy.

If he can win one of the next two games then it makes sense to play out the season with Osweiler. If not, then the team will be 3-6 with 5 straight losses anyway, changing QB will not have helped, and they might as well see what they have in Paxton Lynch before committing to move up in the draft to get a top 5 QB next year.

They will probably see who is available in FA first though, like they kicked the tires on Tony Romo.

If Romo had decided to come here, the Broncos would probably b 5-2 right now and competing for the #1 overall seed and a chance to go to the SB. (Of course with this OL, it's possible that Romo could be in traction with a body cast and Trevor would be preparing to start).

The point is, Elway could look for a FA veteran next season. Probably not Cousins. Certainly not Drew Brees or Philip Rivers or Andrew Luck. Somebody else who is unexpected right now.

You are a year too slow. They are evaluating what they have in terms of QB talent on the roster THIS year.

Trevor had his chance and failed so now he will sit on the bench barring injury to the other two QBs.

Osweiler has a chance now to prove that he can be a franchise QB. If he plays well enough to win one of the next two games then great. Let him start the rest of the season and decide then whether you want to re-sign him long-term at somewhere north of $18M a year (NO I don't think he's worth it, that's just what starters get for long term deals. Really good QBs get more than $20M, but Osweiler won't command that much).

If Os flames out we will see Giraffe #3. God help us.

At this point I think you’re right. We should go ahead and play Stretch the Pirate so we can secure a top 10 pick because we’re not going to make the playoffs

I just read Vance Jospehs comments about sending them to IR.

This guy really starting to trouble me.

[ShaneFalco]

“They’re both going to go down,” Joseph said. “Chad Kelly, obviously, he came back and practiced last week, and obviously numbers-wise, it doesn’t make sense for our football team. We were hoping that Jake could come back and help us at this point, but he’s not ready yet. So we’re going to put both of those guys down.”

Nope. no sense at all in letting rookies develop in practice!

We need to keep the real players on the roster, like huerman, siemian and oswieler.

:lol:

Let the rookies figure it out next year. And we have another excuse to be bad next year.

it means the coaches dont have a clue.

VJ is up there like baghdad bob telling people the season isnt over.

Stop telling the people lies. I saw kelly throwing the ball to fat kids

[slim]

why was he moved to IR?

The same reason Sloter was released.

[Broncoknight30]

I just cannot see how Kelly is going to be given an opportunity here. Think about how this needs to play out for it to happen. I really cannot see how it happens.

Still wanting to see what they DON'T HAVE in Lynch. Still not sure if the Broncos are planning on either drafting a QB or if they plan on going after a FA like an Alex Smith or Cousins.

If the Broncos are not going to play Lynch, then it really gets hazy for the plans with Kelly.

If the Broncos decide that Lynch is not the guy, do they go into next season throwing Kelly in there as "the plan?" Of course not.

I really cannot envision a scenario where he will be given a real shot. Especially if they draft a QB in the first round, or if they sign a high priced FA. The only real way Kelly would get his shot is something like what happened with Brady. Brady was not in the Pats plan. He was a 6th rounder. Unless Kelly is thrown in there as a result of injuries to QBs in front of him, and then he really lights it up when he gets in, then the scenario of him being the future is just not there.

There is no other scenario for it to happen with Kelly here. Please tell me the scenario that I am not seeing if there is one.

That's all up to Kelly in his time away. How is he prepping? Is he going to work out with a QB coach or party all off-season? If he can up his game he can compete in Preseason. That's all we can hope for he gets a good look.

Next year will be a QB competition with players we habe no idea who they will be. I domt believe Oz and Siemien will be back. Oz a definite. Deal Trevor if they can or just cut him.

Well, Sloter did all of that. He outperformed everyone and he was let go. That is due to the economics.

If the Broncos let go Oz, and Siemian is not brought back, I seriously doubt they will be going into TC thinking the battle will be between Kelly and Lynch.

That won't happen, which means they would be planning on drafting yet another QB in the first round, or signing a high priced FA. Either way the economics will not allow Kelly to have a realistic opportumity.

Maybe I misread your first sentence, but Sloter wasn't let go for any economic reason. They chose not to outbid MN, but then a week later the Broncos gave a RB even more money than Sloter got to sign to their practice squad.

Who knows whether or not they would have kept him on the active roster if Lynch hadn't gotten hurt and they then signed Brock, but based on the fact they weren't willing to match MN's offer, all indications are they wouldn't have.

Siemian beat out a first round draft pick, so there is no reason to believe that if the Broncos draft a QB and don't think he's ready to start (not uncommon with QBs), that Kelly could win the starting job. Now, presumably, if it's a high draft pick, then Kelly would be considered a seat warmer, but he would absolutely have the chance to win the job.

Lynch would’ve beat out Siemian if it wasn’t for Mike McCoy and his horrible coaching.

Sloter was considered "just a guy" by absolutely everybody except Broncos fans. That's why he was let go. The coaches and John Elway did not see the same "potential" that fans did. You keep pointing to the pre-season games, but there are a bunch of practices that are not open to the public and Sloter apparently sucked at those.

So, they already had 3 young "developmental" QBs on the roster in Brock, Trevor and Paxton, in addition to Kelly who is a long term project. They didn't frankly need another long term project. There's only so many developmental QBs who aren't ready to play they can carry on the roster.

I heard some idiot just absolutely burned by Ray Crockett on the radio because he insisted that Sloter was the best QB on the roster last pre-season. Pre-season is meaningless. We should know that from watching Trevor this summer. If only the pre-season counted, he'd be a hall of fame candidate!

Time to forget about Kyle Friggin' Sloter. There will be plenty of time to crucify Elway if Sloter ever becomes a star in the NFL. Don't hold your breath.

As for next year, obviously if the team loses 10 or 11 games this year, they are drafting a QB. The opportunity to have your pick of maybe 3 of the top 5 1st round QB prospects. They can keep Paxton on the roster as an insurance project, and they still have Trevor under contract for another season for dirt cheap.

If Elway concludes that they are a rebuilding team he will dump salary (DT, Talib), and go out and draft a franchise QB, and try and rebuild from the ground up. That's what 5-11, 6-10 teams do.

If you go 5-11 you are NOT a "re-boot not a re-building team."

As for Paxton, they are considering moving to more of a spread offense. But do the Broncos want to move to a system where the QB is a live target on every play? We saw that with RGIII. It can work for a while, but long term the QB takes too much of a beating to want to use that system.

This is because franchise QBs cost more than $20M a year these days and you don't want your $20M QB running around taking giant shots from defenders like Joey Bosa, Kalil Mack, Justin HOuston, Melvin Ingram, etc. Their career will be too short if they do that.

Yes, just to go over this one more time about Sloter. We know he probably will never make it. That is the truth. No one is disagreeing with that. The point is in regards to Kelly is Sloter (no matter how we want to deny it) outperformed every QB on this roster in TC and through preseason. He played better against the exact same talent as Lynch. He technically had the highest passer rating of any QB in the NFL in preseason.

What does all of that mean? Not much when considering the economic reality of the hard cap and the implications of each salary. Is it that simple? Yes, it truly tends to be that simple. The only true chance that a long long long shot like Sloter would be is too long to have any real shot. He was not a 7th round pick. He was not drafted. He basically drew NO SALARY.

We may think that is not a factor, well that is very very naive. The economics is as important or more important than any other issue on every team. Unfortunately for us fans, we are not privy to A LOT of that information and even if we were, it often takes people with an MBA to explain it.

The basics of it is Sloter had ZERO CHANCE regardless of how he performed. He was told that, and they meant that. The basic same situation is the reality in regards to Kelly. Right now as it stands, it would take a real miracle for Kelly to have a legit shot and it goes beyond outperforming everyone on the field.

Trust that.

Keep in mind if not for Mo Lewis hitting Bledsoe and injuring him, there is a distinct possibility we would not have heard of Tom Brady unless you were a Michigan Wolverine fanatic.

We all know.why Trevor beat out lynch and it wasn't about Trevor bring any good, he just lookedbetter in practice like a Orton with blanks firing they are decent hut only in practice. I guarantee he wouldn't beat out lynch next year in the off season because lynch is about to get the same kind of game experience Trevor got.

Kelly will have a shot at competing but it's likely that hell be behind the 8 ball when It comes too having the live bullet experience lynch is about too get. Unless Kelly is mentally Carson wentz, andrew luck type of quarterback who can dominate the playbook and film he won't sniff the number one spot week 1 next year. I think the year after is when hell have a legitimate chance to compete.

Get a grip cugel plenty teams run spread offense, brady ran it for hundreds of years, manning made it legendary. There is nothing wrong with the spread offense as long as you are good at it. Good coaches adapt and tweak there system too what's going to bring out the best in his guy's and there are quite a few talents on.offense that comes from spread offenses from DT, McKenzie, Henderson, cjI Anderson, booker, the RB henderson, and I believe bolles played in the spread? Musgrave is doing the right thing getting his quarterback in something familiar, rather than sticking with anything McCoy installed. Trash that entire shit.

I am far from a Sloter truther - but it was a questionable decision to not protect him at the time, and it only looks worse with our QB struggles as the year goes on. Brock is not an NFL QB - at least Sloter has potential. We went with the "win now" move thinking that it was more important to get a backup with experience - and now we find ourselves in rebuilding mode and would love to have a guy with potential upside.

In other words - it's perfectly reasonable to be skeptical whether Sloter ever works out or not in the NFL - but I don't think we are in any position to be smugly dismissing him either.

[Shazam!]

Sloter... Really? At least Kelly is still in the Roster.

[Hawgdriver]

Sloter... Really? At least Kelly is still in the Roster.

Agree, least is the word I would use.

[Cugel]

Supposedly, and this is according to Mike Klis on 104.3 the Fan: "sources inside the Broncos locker-room" rumor is that Chad Kelly is "devouring the play book" and is intensely focused on getting on the field. He'll get his chance next training camp. I think the Broncos might have to make a choice between keeping Paxton or Kelly.

It's going to be a VERY hard choice. If they cut Paxton they take a big cap hit, so they want to keep him on the roster 1 more year whether they use him or not. But, if they let Kelly get away and he becomes a franchise QB somewhere else without their even giving him a chance here, Elway's head would deserve to roll.

But, it's nice to hear he has his head on straight and is taking the chance to work at learning how to be an NFL QB the way Paxton never was willing to work hard enough to do. As DMac said: "I'm done with Paxton. I'm OK with Trevor as the backup qb for the next ten years, but Paxton Lynch? I'm totally done. Good-bye Francis!"

[Cugel]

Nope, it’s all McCoys fault, that’s the new narrative that I’m starting. Your endorsement is not required.

Why would anyone endorse such nonsense? If your theory were true (everybody with eyes knows it isn't) then as soon as Paxton escaped from McCoy's malign influence, he would blossom, right? Well, no actually.

But surely he'll be great for some other team with a different system and different OC? If that happens you can brag about how you called it. Here's a super-secret: It's not happening.

[Al Wilson 4 Mayor]

Cugel, a smart man such as yourself should never quote d-bag, er, dmac .

[Hawgdriver]

Cugel, a smart man such as yourself

How is this statement justified? Word count?

[topscribe]

Trevor Siemian was a 7th round pick. Nobody in the NFL could ever understand why the Broncos started him in the first place. Nobody outside the organization ever believed he could be a starting Qb. Now that he has proven that he can't, why would they change their minds and suddenly want him? He's finished in the NFL as a starter. He will have to go somewhere and compete for a backup role, that he is likely to win. He's smart enough to back up somewhere.

Just not good enough to win games when you have to rely on him.
Why is it material that he is a 7th round pick? Brady was 6th round. Johnny Unitas was 17th
round (meaning in today's draft, he probably wouldn't be picked up even as a FA). On the other
side, Ryan Leaf and Steve Spurrier were first round as was our own Paxton Lynch, and Brock
Osweiler was 2nd round. (All through the spring, VJ kept saying that Paxton was "drafted in the
first round for a reason." He never divulged the reason.)

So you don't like what he has done on the field. Where he was drafted should have no effect on
that. First round, 7th round FA . . . put it in your back pocket and just watch him on the field.

[Hawgdriver]

Nobody in the NFL could ever understand ....

Hyperbole alert.

Chad Kelly is apparently really in the Denver Broncos QB mix

https://fansided.com/2018/04/30/chad-kelly-in-denver-broncos-qb-mix/


If not for that knee injury, Kelly likely would have been no worse than a Day 2 pick in the 2017 draft. He was un-invited from the NFL Combine due to a past off-field issue, then aggravated a wrist injury at his Pro Day. He was originally recruited to Clemson, but was dismissed from the program and went the JUCO route before landing at Ole Miss. Injuries and off-field baggage almost left Kelly undrafted, but when healthy in college, he showed an NFL skill set.

In 2015, Kelly led the SEC in passing yards (4,042) and touchdowns (31), while also adding 509 rushing yards and 10 more touchdowns on the ground as the Rebels went 10-3 with wins over Alabama, Auburn and LSU. He was off to a solid start in 2016, with 2,758 passing yards and 24 total touchdowns (19 passing), before being injured against Georgia Southern on Nov. 5 that year.

[Canmore]

I don't care who the man is, as long as we have one. If it is Kelly...fine, just be the man.

Kelly has impressed both on and off the field.

''Well, I've been proud of Chad overall,'' coach Vance Joseph said. ''I mean, he's been here every day. He's worked his butt off. And he's changed his body. Last year he was a little tubby kid. He is really lean now. He's eating right. He's working hard. He's definitely put the work in.

''And he's throwing the ball really well right now.''

So much so that bare hands are a bad idea for receivers, suggested tight end Jake Butt.

''He can rip that thing now,'' said Butt, who also sat out his rookie season. ''You've definitely got to wear gloves. He'll be spinning that bad boy pretty tough. He's learning the offense, he's taking leadership, he's doing a great job.''

Joseph insisted Lynch was handling himself fine, too.

That guy is the biggest waste of physical ability in the NFL. What a freak

He ran a few plays on offense in college, he could be the best TE in football.

He’s every bit as fast as Butt at 290lbs.

But he’s done nothing with it.

Edit, 2 seasons and 20 tackles ... zero sacks. 29th pick, overall, he has 1st overall talent in any draft.

Dont leave me out. Seis hermanos. I seriously all joking aside really do like Chad Kelly and Lambie made a great point today that just with his fiery makeup he's already a step ahead of Lynch. Their arm Talent is similar. He's not a giant if you want to hold that against him but plus athlete plus arm strength wins against top-level SEC opponents. A little Gunslinger maybe too much, but I'm telling you the character concerns are completely over stated he is by no means Johnny Manziel. And everybody says the guy is always in the film room first in the weight room last to leave. What's not to like about the kid?

agree. But Teamswag will pick up more and more as the swag rolls in. I agree , the makeup is totally different. Remember this thread from last year? Says everything about Kelly and Lynch mental makeup. Lynch chillen, while Kelly is studying.

Yup. You bring up some good points, not the biggest guy, but was the offense against top level SEC. And i agree about the gunslinger. He does trust his arm too much. He will throw ints, until he realizes that will be used against him in the NFL. Character concerns dont bother me much. Kelly has the type of concerns of getting into fights. Not avoiding reading playbooks, like Johnny did. I believe Kelly truly cares about the game, but can be a hothead. I dont think Johnny ever really cared about football.

Its funny that MK was brought up. A few weeks back at one of the bars in the DTC I was meeting some people and the bartender girl looked....just. like. GORO!

it was hilarious and kind of sad. She had big long hair almost in the same pony tail thingy. She was lacking an extra set of arms and was not 9 ft tall, however.

Oddly enough, she was still slightly attractive somehow. My buddy agreed that she looked a lot like GORO and that she was somehow not off putting.
