Thread: Brandstater released!

The first QB drops. Broncos have released Tom Brandstater. (tweet #1)

That changes things considerably. I don't see them trading Orton or Quinn at this point (tweet #2)

With the release of Brandstater, more reps for Tebow during camp. (tweet #3)

McDaniels is a QB killer!

I am (really) not all that much surprised at this...

HE will sign with NE by lunch.

Late round pick... not shocking

And here i thought it was going to be Tebow.

Seems a bit silly to me. Why take the guy? We traded up this year for two DB's in the late rounds. Obviously McDaniels feels there is value there.

With the holes this team has to fill, I don't get the complete lasez faire attitude to picks.

Good one!

Wonder how many of those folks that were calling for him to start last year are looking for razor blades right now.

I wish him well and hope he gets a chance else where.

Maybe because he didn't have Tebow or Quinn when he drafted him...

This makes ZERO sense to me.

1. why release him now?, what if one of our QBs goes down in/before tc. Then we would only have tebers and quinn or whichever two are left over from the injury.

2. He was costing us very little against the cap-why not jarvis moss?
3- So now we do not have a QB for the PS- BEcause there is no way quinn or tebow will ever make it through waivers to end up on our PS

4.- Besides Orton he is the only one with knowledge of our system/experience.



Now frankly I really dont give a dam about Tommy B. and wish him luck in the future. But this move seems premature to me. And maybe his QB skills just sucked soo bad that anyother new QB might be better. I do not know. Still do not like the move.

Kind of curious as to why it happened now.

But this continues to show the FO lack of care/patience when it comes to picks. I won't beat it to death, but it is my biggest problem with McD so far.

You're right, McD should have just ignored what he considered a franchise QB because he already had a late round pick from last year on the roster!

Drama much?
