Thread: Broncos reportedly could be top landing spot for Tyrod Taylor

I didn't see enough there to not take a first round QB if we don't sign someone like KC.

Please let all of this be false.

Probably could start with Corky's brother Nathan Peterman

If they do get Taylor, rather than Cousins, I guess Denver is desperately drafting a QB at #5 in this weak QB class. Skipping a potential All-Pro olineman.

Just trade up for Allen and have the charismatic leader with all-pro talent lead the team. Let's get this shit popping!

I really don't know enough about Baker to have an opinion one way or the other. I did watch a video recently that hints to Baker Mayfield having ribs made out of adimantium. Wolverine could be our QB, at least MS would be excited.

I think his head might be made up of a hard substance, as well.

Tyrod Taylor is more mobile (though that's debatable) Trevor Siemian...

Broke the longest streak in professional sports of not making the postseason.

to me that what they really need is a veteran to keep the ship afloat while the youngsters
duke it out behind him? Just a thought . . .

The only reason to get Tyrod Taylor is if they draft a rookie and need a bridge QB until that rookie is ready to start. No way they just roll with Taylor and Paxton and Kelly because Paxton and Kelly are pure unknowns, and not very probable unknowns either. Paxton has been handed the job on a silver platter twice and dropped it. He might not even be on the roster next year since two coaching regimes both looked at him and don't want any part of him. Now Kubiak is in charge of the Broncos scouting efforts, and he's not a big fan of Paxton.

Kelly has never been in an NFL practice due to injury, so he's a complete cipher.

That is an intriguing possibility, because they would get Bridgewater in and give him a medical evaluation before they would consider signing him. If he's back to near the QB he was before his injury, he would make a viable franchise QB. If not, then nobody is going to want him.

I doubt he's coming here simply because Denver has that #5 pick and it's unlikely he wants to compete for a starting job. He wants a team that is going to commit to him long term. Given the QB desperate league, he's probably going to find that team that will sign him, give him a 4 year deal and then just hope that he is the real deal for them, rather than coming to Denver.

But, Elway could just say "we don't like Allen, Mayfield or any other QB we are able to draft, and Bridgewater is the best veteran we can sign." Especially if Cousins stays in DC or goes elsewhere.

He didn't do that, just like Rex Grossman didn't make it to the Superbowl. The team around him did it. Come on Joe...Just because a crappy QB lucks into a playoff appearance doesn't mean he's a QB you want as your starter...

No. It is not debatable. Also, TT is a far superior QB.

Meh

So instead of being a trainwreck, he's more of a wrecked Ford Fiesta? It's still a wreck.

or, you know. . . have drafted him at all, for that matter? the kelly stuff cracks me up. . . 31 teams didn't think he was worth drafting at all. . . but since he did such a great job of being on IR, now he's in serious consideration for our starting job. . . get real, people. . . kelly is practice squad fodder, or our 3rd string, long term developmental project, at best. . .
