Thread: In JFE We Trust

I'm going to trust Elway and try not to go insane.

PS - **** you, Brock!

Maybe this should be in the lounge.

A month after the Super Bowl, days after our Hall of Fame QB retires, we need self motivating threads to keep our chin up lol

This shows how spoiled rotten we are as fans.

I love this Organization.

Might as well draft our Brady this year then. We have plenty of picks.

Way too early to panic folks. Reminds me a little bit of free agency last year. People were frustrated by the lack of activity from the front office. Questions about the talent level of the FA offensive linemen brought in. Hope they get better at evaluating in this area.

But all in all, things worked out pretty well. Don't cha' think? Sit back, chill, and watch how they regroup. JE probably let his emotions get the best of him from his
statement earlier today. I look at it as a silver lining. He's now been challenged and we all know how well he responds when challenged. Sure would hate to be Houston when we they play them later this year.

Elway: We want players who want to be here

Mike Klis of KUSA reports that the Broncos began thinking that Osweiler didn’t want to be part of the team when he stopped returning calls from teammates and coaches in the last couple of weeks
"We’ve stayed true to our philosophy of building a team with players who want to be Denver Broncos and want to be here. That’s been a successful approach for us,” Elway said. “While we did offer a very competitive and fair long-term contract to Brock, we ultimately had to remain disciplined while continuing to assemble a roster that can compete for championships.”

Elway was initially denounced by many here as being a "cheap skate" because he wasn't going after the big name FAs, which is why I there was no way he'd sign Manning. However, its become clear that he’s committed to not over paying player. He only signs the best players who are willing to be paid what the Broncos’ brain trust believes they’re worth. That has resulted in him letting very popular players go, such as Julius Thomas & Elvis Doomerville.

So at this time, I’m not that concerned about who we lose at what positions because Elway has demonstrated year after year that he’ll probably make the right decision about who to bring in to replace them. Granted, our TEs are still lacking since Thomas left, but our DL was better than ever this past season. Looking at the FA QBs available right now, I don’t know how he’s going to get a decent one this year, but I know better than to bet against him.

Look man, Elway is calm, cool and collected. He finds bargains in FA and he also hits when he does spend. His draft choices become role players, blue chip players and also superstars. He is a damn good GM ane he will find a way. We might not be back next year because we have lost alot of key players but he will keep stacking good offseason on top of good offseason.
