Murray or Haskins is probably Elway's actual target.
    Daniel Jones is getting a ton of pre-draft hype, but his arm strength is severely limited. It's like watching the old Peyton all over again.

    He can't be a "poor man's Case Keenum" if he's drafted at all. Keenum was signed by the Texans as an undrafted FA.

    I suppose. Last year he didn't like any. Except Paxton. He didn't draft a QB because "we're not kicking Paxton to the curb" Elway said, 4 months before he kicked Paxton to the curb.

    It was also after signing Keenum, who by all accounts had a very good season the previous year. There was reason to believe that between Keenum and Paxton, we had our QB's. Everyone knew Paxton needed a couple/few years to marinate. Kelly even looked promising (on the field, anyway).

    Clearly, sometimes belief is overrated... but I don't begrudge Elway for not getting into the QB sweepstakes last year based on what we thought we had.

    I'd have no problem with it if he really believed that Case Keenum was a long-term Qb solution, but he didn't.

    After he signed Keenum he called him "a bridge Qb." He didn't say "bridge to what" though. As it turned out, it was a "bridge to Paxton" who had already failed twice before and no reasonable person thought he would suddenly "get gud" after YET ANOTHER off-season. Naturally he failed again and got cut.

    So, Elway screwed up royally.

    I've got a couple of other scenarios to suggest:

    1) The "insider source of this information is actually a member of the janitorial staff who happen to over hear 10 seconds of a half hour discussion on what we should do to solve our QB problem.

    2) Elway knew that his office had been bugged by someone in the media, so he pulled a Hogan's Heroes on them:

    "john elway said to be high"

    well, that would explain some of the previous drafts. . .
    “When we do find that guy, we’ve got to have the continuity on the offensive side to where we can train him and develop him and get him there. This is our fourth offense in probably three or four years. Quarterbacks need to be developed. You don’t find one ready-made. We got to have a solid system in place for when we do go after whatever guy it may be, a young guy or a trade or whatnot.”
