I mean...I paid attention to his college career because it was in the headlines and his coach at UH ended up being the coach at A&M, but that has nothing to do with me being fine with him as a stop gap. To be clear, I'm not advocating him as the stud QB for the next 5-7 years. Maybe he truly turned a corner and was able to show what he can be and he does end up being a long term answer. Who knows. But for the meantime the move makes the most sense.
This is a shame. Would have liked James for the right draft price.

What you said about Zimmer liking the offensive team chemistry rings true. Keenum puts his head down. He took Diggs and Thielen to the next level--they were headed there, and he did his part. There are positives.
I get that it's the move that makes the most sense if you are trying to field the most competitive team in 2018, which I want the Broncos to do.
Signing Keenum has the added bonus of being a solid litmus test of VJ's ability to deliver results, so we can truly see what he's about with no caveats.
Alright, well, what's done is done. I personally like the guy, so that's something.

It provides a couple of years of stability at the position while they work out the kinks everywhere else and see what Kelly/whoever has in backup reps. It provides Denver with some of the things they wanted without brutalizing their cap or demolishing their hard-won draft war chest. I'm surprised so many people hate it so much, honestly. It's not perfect, but neither was any solution out of the gate.

Yeah, that's why I wasn't willing to pay much in draft compensation to Miami to clear that bill, but I hear ya. Hubbard would also be a nice addition. The Broncos can look around now - hopefully they do better than they have with their last few sets of line additions. Add a RT, draft an OG, and let's get going.

I think you should draft a QB pretty much every year until you have a star. They don't have to be first-rounders - Kelly and Siemian are 7th, and that's fine. But you might as well make sure you have an extra pick laying around to use on a QB on day 2 or 3. Might get lucky. I don't think John drafts a QB with #5, but I think he'll grab one too. Most of the 2nd and 3rd day QBs have spread offense issues and under-center work to do, which is why they're day 2 and 3 guys. Take a swing.
I very much want to see what Kelly looks like, but competition is never bad. We'll see if they keep Siemian as the decent backup QB he should be in case of injury, or if they're willing to bet on a guy without NFL game experience to do it, but either way John should still be looking for his QBOTF.
