I look forward to pinning all my hopes on him and crying for him to go in for the struggling Keenum.

If he isn't prone to sitting on couches he not invited to sit on it's a win.

Glad this is only a practice squad signing. Was worried from the thread title that he was put on the 53-man roster.

The scouting reports say you are being over emotional and just saying whatever comes to mind...

http://www.nfl.com/draft/2015/profiles/garrett-grayson?id=2552371

STRENGTHS Tremendous deep-ball touch and accuracy this season. Puts air under the ball and feathers throw into consistently catchable spots for receivers. Gets feet set and uses lower body and proper weight transfer to drive the ball to his target with zip.

Strong arm
Can make all the NFL throws

https://www.milehighreport.com/2015/3/24/8281823/nfl-draft-broncos-are-high-on-colorado-state-quarterback-garrett

He displayed both touch as well as the ability to throw the ball with velocity today, and the reviews of his Pro Day have been positive.

http://www.rantsports.com/nfl/2015/04/19/2015-nfl-draft-scouting-report-colorado-state-qb-garrett-grayson/

Has good arm strength-has good touch and accuracy on deep throws

Do I think the kid is the future of the franchise? Hell no. But drop the hyperbole and at least list valid reasons for why he won't be the future. He is known to have a good arm, he just never lived up to expectations in New Orleans. He's got the physical tools, to do the job, he just hasn't proven he can do the job. That isn't likely to change, but his arm strength isn't the issue shane.

Basically. He's someone we wanted to draft in 2015, but the saints got there first, now we're trying to go make up for lost time...He's nothing more than a backup at best, nothing to get excited about.

If the scouting reports on Keenum say he has a strong arm... the scouting reports are wrong or badly outdated.

Or more so that they don't trust your judgement on QB's since you don't have a strong batting average (Nothing like Tebow's batting average)

And by “We wanted to draft” you mean “Kubiak wanted to draft”?

Y’all might wanna prepare yourselves for the possibility that the Broncos have zero interest in a 1st round QB talent.

oh what because the most talented qb on the roster got thrown off the team for something off the field?

You guys didnt even believe kelly would make it out of tc. dont give me that crap. then he lit up preseason.

the irony that the coach who has never shaken the accusation of crawling into a womans bed in college is now choosing the moral high ground with a young man who by all accounts never threatened or endangered anyone.

I highlighted the important part of your quote. There’s a big difference between an accusation and a documented history. I’m no VJ fan, but he has to do what he thinks is best for the team. I’m getting the impression that Kelly’s teammates aren’t that sorry to see him go so maybe there was even more stuff going on behind the scenes. Besides, my guess is that this wasn’t ultimately Joseph’s decision.

This... we will not draft a real QB until Kubiak is gone. Kubiak is to QBs what Shanny was to RBs, “no reason to draft a top prospect when you can get a Terrell Davis in the sixth round! I can make any RB a 1000 yard back!!!”

Now, replace RB with QB and TD with Keenum and you have Kubiak. FFS, Kubiak tried to ruin PFM making him play under center and do bootlegs and shit. Kubiak is franchise QB kryptonite.

Kelly is entering the Tebow hype arena with some on this board.

Cugel

Kelly is entering the Tebow hype arena with some on this board.

Well, it will always be impossible for them to ever be refuted because Kelly is likely done in the NFL. Nobody but the Broncos was willing to risk a pick on him and that was BEFORE his latest felony charges which could potentially make him *ahem* - unavailable to play in the NFL from 1-3 years, perhaps 1/2 of that if his "behavior is good" during the interval. And then he would have to petition the league for reinstatment after he completed his term of unavailability, to which he is likely to plead any time now. The quicker his attorney gets his plea bargain together with the DA, the better for Chad!

As a first offense in this jurisdiction, Chad should be able to plea the felony down to a misdemeanor with a stipulation to probation, unless the DA just wants his scalp on the wall. But, Chad is rich and can easily afford the best attorneys in the state to defend him. My friend is actually the best defense attorney and was key in getting Kobe off of his little difficulties. I wonder if Chad will get the right attorney. With the right attorney he might very well get off. At least if the DA tries to convict him of felony breaking and entering. I think that offense has to have specific intent. Being so drunk you have no idea where you are might eliminate specific intent. There is such a defense, but it's not at all easy to use.

My own attempt at using that intoxication defense before the 10th Circuit was mocked and ridiculed by the judges, who ruled that my client's alibi defense was "an unsuccessful attempt to lie." But, there is an intoxication defense to crimes of specific intent. It would be no defense against a lesser charge lacking specific intent like trespass perhaps, or public intoxication, or DUI if the keys were in the ignition to his car when he was apprehended. He'd still be guilty of those charges if nothing else.

But, he might be able to plea it down. I was able to get a felony 3 assault with a deadly weapon charge for my client (allegedly) stabbing her boyfriend during a drinking bout. Well, after the plea she was no longer allegedly guilty either, because we had pled that down to a felony 5 with a stipulation to probation rather than incarceration. So, I figure that Chad Kelly, who has a really good lawyer not me, should be a cinch to get off with probation.

Then he'd be eligible to apply for reinstatement to the NFL! Then maybe some team might be willing to let him come to camp for them. IF anybody did that he would win a roster spot just like he did here. Obviously to anybody who watched him play -- the dude can flat play. Period.

He threw away an almost certain career as at least a backup QB in the NFL. They get a lot of money holding clip-boards for someone. What can you say.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ww1gt6MHJRA

Can you even imagine throwing away $10,000,000 or more and a chance for NFL stardom? Because I can't imagine doing that because I had an irresistible urge to do something incredibly stupid like get totally hammered and mistakenly break in to someone's house in the middle of the night. (I only presume that's what happened. Because it was a felony breaking and entering, they didn't even bother to test him for drugs or alcohol).

What would it take for us to get Goff, Watson, Wentz, etc? Four first rounders? Four and Von?

Four, Von, and one billion dollars?

I'm kidding, those guys aren't getting traded.
