My first words exactly. Sure hope the change of scenery helps bring his play back up to what the Broncos need.

I guess this means Case is gone? Hopefully.

I'm guessing so. The Broncos will still be on the books for $7 but still cheaper than what it would have cost to keep him.

Trade terms can not be released until after March 13. Sure hope Denver didn't trade much for him. Fangio knows Flacco well so I imagine he played a part in making this happen.

Kubes apparently played a big role as well. From what I've heard, Fangio only said he could 'work with Flacco'. Kubes was a big proponent though, word has, since he coached him during his one glorious season where he played waaaay above himself.

My interpretation: Fangio played his hand in the game of ego against Elway when he said no to Kubes as OC and his loser assistants...and then he acquiesced on the move to get Flacco, choosing his remaining battles for later. Elway wanted to toss a bone to Kubes after telling him to get lost and won out, thus saving some of his ego and still not having a clue how to make an NFL team and an NFL QB work together as a GM. Plus...Elway and failure QBs with big arms and all.

Things were going so well this offseason and now this happens

Why the **** would we do this? Hilarious incompetence by Elway at the QB position once again.

Rinse, repeat.

I’ll give it a chance with Scangerello.

Well this is interesting.

Please someone wake me from this nightmare
