I meant the first 2 days was where most of that was Paxton looked good stuff was stated. What I have read here and there was that Paxton had a strong 1st 2 days of practice Mon and Tuesday. So my point in previous posts holds water, and the fact he looked good should be meaningless considering who he was playin against in practice on day 1 and 2. I haven't heard or read anything that says he did really well yesterday against the bears other than some twitter stuff that he looked good in individual drills which has no validity to me after 3 years in the NFL. At this point Paxton is a BUM who has no work ethic, and looks good with no pressure or live action, but is completely lost in live action because of poor work ethic and bad study habits as well as a lack of drive to be a Pro in this league. That was even more evident by the fact he got upset about being benched after a horrendous showing in his pre-season action. I liken him to Corey Coleman of the browns who was just traded. Watch the hard knocks episode and you see bad practice habits and then a whiny little scene about why he is second team, and if they don't want to play him trade him. It reminded me so much of our own entitled first rd pick in lynch. Cleveland was smart and did exactly that. Its time for Denver to cut bait end of story. There is no hope for Paxton regardless of the fluff pieces now coming out of camp since his benching. All he should worry about now is playing his ass off on 3rd string so some team might give him a shot as a 2nd(doubtful) or 3rd QB for the season.

1. With what money
This thread is now unnecessary. Elway today just basically admitted they are cutting Paxton.
He was asked what he's looking for in a 2nd string QB and said a veteran guy who can come in if the starter is hurt and win the game. And then he added that they will be looking for a veteran and that they will be patient.
What that means is they will take a look at what Chad Kelly looks like this week going against the 2's and especially against the Bears this game.
If Kelly makes them feel confident he can handle it, they go with 2 QBs. If not they go out and get a QB in FA. The only thing keeping Paxton on the roster right now is that they need 3 QBs for camp and that they can't find anybody to trade for him because the entire league knows he's pure garbage.
I think Elway is screwing up again though. They need to just pick up a #3 QB for a training camp arm and cut Paxton right now, so that he has a chance to land on another roster this year. If he does, then they gain some cap relief. If he sits out the season they have to pay him $4 million against the cap.
Nobody is going to trade for him knowing the Broncos will only cut him. And if they wait until the final cuts he's probably not going to make a roster this season.
There is no cap savings this year, his salary is 2.5 this year, his dead money post june 1 is 3.1 which is a loss of 600k(my previous numbers were pre june 1, im a tool).
Its not a huge number, but it certainly isnt a relief of incentive to force him out.
Next year there is abit of relief if cut, either pre or post june 1 but obviously dead money.
He is toast.
Vance Joseph is a better coach than Paxton is a QB. That doesn’t say a whole lot for Paxton.
