Elway, on KOA, re: the trade deadline: “There were some people that called on Chris, but we were not interested in what the compensation was … it’s best that Chris is here with us. We’re still trying to win football games."

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver 9m
Elway, on @KOAColorado
, on whether the last 2 yrs. is the biggest challenge of his professional life: “Yeah … you grow & you get better when you battle tough times … the tone is a lot different if we’re sitting there & we’ve won those 3 games we lost on the last possession"

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver 8m
Elway, on @KOAColorado
, re: Drew Lock not being ready: “We want to get him ready physically. He’s a guy that’s very talented that can play in the NFL … now he hasn’t practiced since training camp … physically, he’s not ready to go yet, either.”

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver 7m
Elway, on Lock’s status (via @KOAColorado
): “Most of my information comes from where the coaches think he is … it all comes down to how he’s mentally adapting on the offensive side.” Currently looking at getting him out for practice in Week 11 (before MIN game).

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver 5m
Elway, to KOA on Flacco: “I think there had been an issue with his neck a couple of weeks ago … it got worse on Sunday … he’s a tough guy, so he did everything he possibly could.” Has no issue with what Flacco said post-game, as “frustration had a lot to do with it."

Andrew Mason @MaseDenver 4m
Elway, on the aggression (or lack thereof) noted by Flacco postgame Sunday: “It’s a learning process for Rich, too … I’ve got a great deal of respect for Rich and what he does [and] the system that we’re running."

Nicki Jhabvala @NickiJhabvala 5m
Elway: "I don't have an issues with anybody that says what they feel. I think that's how he felt at the time ... and nobody likes losing the way that we lost."

Elway added that Flacco is "a tough guy and he did everything he possibly good."

So im not sure on context here with Mayfield, but i dont think him being pissed about getting asked a stupid question, as being anything more than frustration with himself and how the season is going. The guy likes to win, is showing frustration when he isnt.

When has that become a bad thing?

He has a feud with the media pretty much every week. It's not like this was a one off bout of frustration. It's obvious that his focus isn't where it needs to be as much as he focuses on what the media says about him.

It'd be one thing if it were a one off thing, like you posted with Brady, but Baker is getting into it with different reporters all the time. He is constantly feuding with Cowherd for example. Sure he has a right to defend himself, but when you're constantly feuding with different people week after week, maybe everyone else isn't the problem?

While i agree that Baker has a history of being a lightning rod (especially in college) but it really doesnt mean it gives everyone else a pass to be ********. Now, this particular video is the first one ive seen at the professional level where Baker got upset but according to what you guys have posted its with a particular journalist. I mean if you want to post more examples of him getting into it with the Cleveland media im all game. But from everything that i have observed so far with his time in Cleveland he's been pretty reserved. And the Cowherd stuff? Meh, who cares. Ive seen seasoned vets get into twitter wars with Colin as well Baker isnt the only one to do that.

No it doesn't give everyone else the right to be a dick, but eventually you have to just tune that shit out and focus on football. The more he reacts to this stuff, the more these reporters are going to try to get under his skin. Ignore all that noise and just play football.

Exactly. I got no issue with what Mayfield said...his OL is horrible and play calling sucks right now. He is turning the ball over way to much but he should be f'in frustrated. Media is giving Joe flacco more of a pass for what he said then Mayfield and Flacco is just as responsible as responsible for his teams woes. That reporter is also a douche and loves to bait plyers there.....

I'm not defending the reporter or saying he was in the right, but eventually you just have to stop letting them goad you. How many other NFL QBs have ongoing public feuds with multiple members of the media? If they can tell you're sensitive and will always take the bait, they are just going to keep poking at you.

At a certain point if you're constantly feuding with multiple people, maybe everyone else isn't the problem?

When you're losing games and throwing twice as many picks as TDs I don't want to hear a peep from you. I want him focusing on getting better every second he's in the building.

Your not entirely wrong....Flacco popping off for example was out of line.....especially since he is a big part of the problem, focus on football instead of running your mouth is always the higher and better road to take....i just find it funny, and its also hilarious how but hurt the media gets when they bait someone and don't like the response back....

Players who do that are stupid. Media sportswriters don't have to be right. They just have to get people to listen. DMac says about 5 really stupid things a day but they love him and give him the prime slot at 104.3 the Fan because he generates controversy and people listen -- if only to argue with him.

So Baker Mayfield arguing with the media is the perfect example of tilting at windmills. It only generates a firestorm of controversy that the media love because that's their game. They can't lose whether people think Mayfield or the media are right.

From Mayfield's point of view, the more he argues, the bigger the distraction from the only thing that matters, his play on the field. He literally cannot win.

Flacco is way down the list of Denver’s problems, he’s the starting QB that’s finally saying what we’re all thinking ... who gets shit on for not showing emotion ... until he does show emotion and then he gets shit on.

This is ridiculous, honestly, Flacco has the talent to be aggressive if they choose to. But that’s not my point anyway.

Ryan Harris made a point to say that if Flacco had a problem with the playcalling he should’ve changed it ... apparently he forgets how PFM was admonished for having the audacity to change a call in this paint-by-numbers WCO.

Did anyone know who Gardner Minshew was before he stepped in?

I sure didn't.

Ergo: optimism is high!

Yeah he was the leading passer in college football last year. He was more of a known commodity of a college player than Allen.

So when Lock activates will we roll 3 QBs or waive Rypien?

I'd imagine Rypien goes back to the practice squad.

Kyle Allen is going to lead the team to 8-8, sneak into the playoffs and win a Super Bowl!

If he clears waivers.

I'm ready for the Josh Allen era too.

I don't see why he wouldn't? He's been on our practice squad, free for any team to sign, all season. I wouldn't expect anyone to use a roster spot on him now just because he got some live bench action.

I'm still stunned Elway was able to resist drafting him. He fits the Elway model to a T.

at this point, i can only assume that they're going to waive lock, since he's "not ready," and they need the roster spot for a more polished option-- like allen or rypien. . . :laugh:

If we waive him they don't have to use a roster spot. They just offer him more to join their PS. They only have to use a roster spot if they sign him directly from our PS. Maybe they didn't sign him because they didn't want to take a roster spot, but some extra cash might not be too much to pay to get him on your PS.

I'm not saying this is the case, just spitballing.

I guess. That's not too high on my list of worries though.

I'm not worried about it at all. I want the best QB we have to play regardless of who that might be.

I REALLY hope Lock is our guy, if not, there are some seemingly good options in the draft this year

You should tell him once more before you get off the floor.

I just watched a replay of Brandon Allen dropping 10 TD’s on Miss St, I’m sorry but I liked it.

Gotta save roster spots for all those ILB’s that can’t cover TE’s.

i think you need to show a little respect to safeties who can't cover tight ends. . .

We have reviewed your report and agree, Brandon Allen did personally attack and assault Mississippi State. Fortunately, I mean, UN*cough*fortunately he isn't party to our COC and can't be held accountable for the slaughter and ass whooping he laid down that day.

He truly put the laughter in slaughter!
