Thread: About giraffes...

Go Broncos and all that, but I get to vent some disdain at our sitch and here it is.

Elway adopts his first baby giraffe unexpectedly early in 2012. After 3 years of riding pine he gets a go and puts up 86 passer rating stuff, a 5-2 record behind the 2015 D, in 7 games.

Gets a lot of money as happens when a promising free agent QB hits the market. Like Denver will probably overspend after this year.

Then Oz pouts, hissy-fits, and flames out in Houston, where one year later rookie QB Deshaun Watson appears to have no problem working with the supposedly overbearing head coach.

Dumped to Cleveland where he's an inferior option to the NFL's worst currently active starting QB, Kizer--admittedly a long term project.

Returns at league min to Denver because Elway's 2d adopted baby giraffe can't be relied on as a backup.

Broncos release a promising long-term project in Kyle Sloter who almost immediately becomes the #2 QB in Minnesota--on equal depth chart footing with either giraffe.

I don't like it and have a hard time rooting for giraffes...

Yeah it's awesome Elway killed the fattened Sloter to prepare a feast for his erstwhile son.

Let me know when Sloter completes a pass in the league. That said, I don't disagree, but dats da pas mehn.

We can always sign sloter from their PS to active roster if we want too.

Yeah I know, and Sloter can eat a bag of slims.

Just stating facts.

You can do that when he's their #2 QB on their active roster?

lol! you keep saying this, yet sloter still isn't on their PS, homes. . . he's been on their 53 like all season. . .

OH, I did not notice this. I thought he was still on ps....

I havent been paying much attention to fooseball this year. Work has me wrapped up. Glad you guys decided til week 8 to tell me though. Dont want to look like a fool or anything (set me self up there didnt i?)

Guys, be nice to UR. He's been told his regulation 3 times now. We all know if it gets to 4 times we get to mock him.

For you Ill allow 3x

I've got love for Brock. That night that he brought us back against the Patriots on SNF was magical. A few things:

1.) Osweiler was likely the best QB on the Browns roster, but unless they were going to commit to him as the QB of the future then it didn't make sense to play him on a rebuilding team with younger QB draft picks who needed to be evaluated. So I don't buy into this idea that he wasn't good enough for the Browns or that Kizer is better than him. He was never going to be given a real opportunity there.

2.) O'Brien is a notorious penis to his QBs. (Hence he had Tom Savage play like one half before replacing him this year). I don't excuse Brock flaming out after one year and he's got to own the failure - but I also can understand how maybe he isn't solely to blame for that working relationship going south.

3.) We should have done more to keep Sloter. The coaching staff gambled that they could stash him and he had better opportunities and rightfully told Elway to get bent. That was a miss.

But I don't begrudge Brock for any of that. I like giraffes.

I love giraffes.

The Browns are always trying out new QBs. But we don't know that Osweiler would be better on that team than Kiser. We might think that but don't know it.

But, Giraffes are fragile creatures. We might be back to Trevor soon, due to injuries.
