I hope he makes me eat my words but I just don't think he's a very good player. I don't think he'll ever be top half of the league in terms of LTs.
Let's Rid3!!!!
I don't think his future is set. He certainly has the athleticism to become an elite LT which is why they drafted him. He needs work on his technique, he needs to get stronger, but that is normal for OL entering the NFL.
This is a league for big tough professional players, they aren't going up against College players they can dominate through sheer superior athleticism.
We'll see how he does this year but for a guy thrown in at LT it's a huge adjustment. Not surprising if he struggled year one.
A much better plan would have been to start him out in rotation with a veteran T ahead of him, but Elway's past crappy drafting and crappy FA acquisitions at OL made that impossible.
Anybody who remembers Bolles getting trucked by Ryan Kerrigan might to be a little concerned about his future.
I love Bolles but I’m sick and ******* tired of watching Broncos OL getting run over.

He's not a true franchise LT. Maybe a RT type.
I hope the best though.!

"The Broncos went from one of the more attractive organizations in the NFL to one in total disarray. McDaniels will go down as one of the most reviled figures in Denver sports history".
So let me get this straight, a 1st rd QB who can't even get on the field gets tons of excuses and needs time to develop, but a LT is expected to be all pro his rookie year with no time to develop to NFL speed and is called a bust after one year. My goodness.
Oh well.....Nelson will make it all better
I simply think that QB is the harder position to play and that your point about getting on the field is a solid reason to put a young QB on the field so they can get experience. Bolles isn't a bust, we agree on that, and honestly I think the young man can be great.
Nelson is a guard. If he can also be a LT mentor and coach then holy **** I am excited about that pick.
