Thread: Do you have any hope for Keenum?

Why does Elway fall for talentless losers?

Yesterday Bolles was last year Bolles. He was bad. Going against Suggs and an aggressive defense will make a lot of young players look bad. Overall his play has been better this year, but yesterday was a really bad day for him. Keenum didn't help by holding the ball too long. But I think that is because the WRs couldn't get quick separation, plays took too long to develop.

Again, this is coaching. Not adapting to WRs being jammed at the LOS, not getting TEs more involved, RBs in the flats, or just moving to a heavier run emphasis...we just kept doing the same thing that wasn't working. Expect defenses to keep doing this to Denver. They will get physical with the WRs at the LOS and bring pressure.

Why does north love Tom Brady? Some things will never make sense.

People treating Keesum like Manning. The dude has done nothing in the NFL for his entire career, except get benched for younger franchise QBs

Bradford was benched, and Rosen is starting

He had an appeal and he fit a narrative. The appeal was this was the tough grinder guy who finally hit his groove and was going to be great - they thought he was the NFL's version of Jimmy Butler. Throw around the words tough, gritty, gamer, 'accurate' and you just sell people on a brand of football that they like. The narrative was that he'd make the offense passable and then with our revamped defense we'd be contenders again.

The reality of the situation is that if Peyton Manning were an award, he'd be the MVP award. Keenum is a participation trophy.

It's hard to understate how crippling it is for an offense to have zero threat at tight end. Would have been nice to get a couple of cheap completions when they were shutting down the outside yesterday. It's like a complete void at that position for us.

Buff, please change your adopted Bronco.

My excitement over Butt is fading.

Didn't that class have a lot of strong TE's?

did you miss the last play where Butt was open and Keesum didnt have the arm strength to even get the ball at his feet?

Kelly throws that ball at Butts chest at 1,000 mph

All I hear is excuses for Keenum.... yes, the offense isn't perfect and loaded with playmakers at every position, but outside the Chiefs no NFL offense is.

The excuses get old, we heard them for Orton, Osweiler, and Siemian....At some point though Keenum just has to play like the starting QB they're paying him to be, if he can't do that then move aside.

The guy has only thrown TDs passes in one game so far.....

Serious question, do you want Kelly out on the field under this coaching staff?

We have no control. You’ll have to take it up with Kubiak, Elway, & VJ.
