Thread: Elway, GM, and the QB position

The SI article is half right, Elway is also looking for Gary Kubiak, which needs to stop.

They already have a VR tank and some teams are using it with mix results. The tech hype of VR is still 3 to 5 years from reality.

Maybe they are doing it wrong?

Depends. There is some amazing, purpose built, VR out there that is ready today.

I guess the problem is that the Broncos are not facing virtual opponents?

Listen, nothing is going to make a player grind and grind the mental reps that they need to be the mental assassins like Manning or Chris Harris besides an unquenchable inner fire for greatness.

VR or whatever technology won't create that inner fire.

But if you have that inner fire, VR (properly used) is currently the best tool for developing mental perfection per unit of time spent preparing.

I'm sick of the nonsense that disputes this, and tired of the stodgy reluctance to embrace it headlong as a core philosophy.

Who serious thought we would beat Packers in GB or thought we would beat Chicago? Raiders in black hole is never easy. We are not being blown out. But team is not playing up to it ability which is what pisses me off. I know this team is better than it’s record and was hoping to be be 1-2 but 0-3 was very realistic which schedule. Now if this team loses to jags then people can lose their heads.

We're going to lose to the Jags.

But I won't lose my head.

You right, but they are extremely expensive.

Broncos beat themselves in the Packers game. Jags going down in Denver.

If the technology really helps, fine use it. But, whatever they have been doing with VR doesn't really seem to be helping one bit this season.

They really should have won both the Raiders and Bears games. The Raiders flat suck, and the Bears they had actually won before giving up a huge drive and last second FG -- to Mitch Trubisky of all people. He's not exactly a great QB either.

Admittedly losing to GB in GB is not a surprise. But, they should be 2-1 at this point.

It's unclear what they are doing.
