You want teams to take the Broncos players because they were drafted before a favorite of yours?
I’ve come around on Lindsey, mostly because of his hair (so good), but he was borderline draftable. It worked out for the best.
They should have kept Williams and traded Booker, Lindsey made him utterly expendable.

Draft

5th round— Ladd McKonkey WR
6th round— Cash Jones RB

lol! it's cool to burn the QB alive, but legit criticism of any other player is "hatred?" stahp! booker may be a wonderful person. . . he's complete, utter trash as an NFL RB. . . freaking hillman was better, straight up. . . i honestly can't remember the last time a guy as worthless as booker got any significant snaps for the broncos at running back. . .

okay, a bit of digging confirmed my suspicion that it was montee ball. . . but he was really good in 2013, sucked on 55 carries in '14, and was gone in '15 despite being a highly-touted second round pick. . . thankfully, booker has been phased out of the top rotation this year-- even though he still pops up like a weed in the 4th quarter. . . next year, a new regime will undoubtedly send him packing, so our long national nightmare has an end in sight. . .
I don't have Cody love for Booker, but I sure don't get the hate. He is a rotation back, and serviceable in that role, he's still on a rookie contract and appears to be a better blocker (probably due to scheme familiarity)
he will be gone soon enough.
You can always count on King and Dave for reasonable takes. Booker is fine for the role he plays. The hate for him is stupid. He was a forth round pick. This is about what you expect from someone drafted there. The hate is stupid.
well, this is one time
And im pretty sure with a little looking you can see a 7th round qb and an undrafted qb not getting the same scale.
Im pretty sure your not getting my point, and as i said it wasnt directed at you, just at expectations for any given player arent always equal to a set scale, but to a perceived ideal.
Think about what you just said though - that's a starting QB...
When you're a starting Qb, and you can't throw more TDs than INTS, you take bad sacks, and you can't complete any deep balls so it stifles the running game anymore, you're going to get lambasted. You're taking issue with a stance that is literally designed to not be a one-size-fits-all stance.
Of course I'm not mad at an average RB who is the third RB and a fourth round pick. He's there to fulfill a function that the other two backs cannot yet - pass protection. He's also in the game on those downs because he's more of an offensive threat than the FB, ergo he's giving us some flexibility.
Of course I'm going to be pissed at a starting QB who was amongst the worst in the league. He's the starting QB.
I understand the nuanced point you're making, Krugan, but I don't think it's really correct.

Again, your missing the point, the ire should not be directed to the poor ****** who got stuck in that spot, but the people who promoted him to that spot. Booker was drafted in the 4th, so its okay he sucks, but this guy was undrafted, in the 7th, the 6th whatever, and got a better roster spot due to someones decision, so he is just trash.
Its hypocritical.
