With a winless season you get your choice of Lawrence or trading down. DEN could easily get 2 1sts and 2 2nds for Lawrence. That right there rebuilds the OT positions and a replacement for Von.
It’s a no brainer. And please don’t tell me teams don’t tank. They do it all the time.

A; the word play you’re trying to achieve is “fustercluck”.

B; it defies all logic that players would purposely tank so that the team they play for can be in a better position to draft their replacement.

If nothing else, players on bad teams want to play well because it's essentially an audition for the next coach/contract/trade partner, etc.

Same with the coaches.

How’s that working for Jacksonville? You don’t tank in the NFL. There’s no reason for it. The margins are too slim. This same team, without these major injuries is a playoff contender. Two or three turnovers can literally be the difference between 6-10 and 10-6. Margins are too thin in this league. Never tank.

Other sports, have that conversation. Not this one.

How bout “Flustercuck”?

I like “Fustercluck” better, though.

You can either/or but not both.

Either fits the Broncos. And teams tank in the NFL all the time.
Does it backfire? Sure. Who cares. DEN isn’t a playoff team. They desperately need a multitude of positions filled.
But I’m enjoying the flustercluck of a season.

Ok, explain your position on “and teams tank in the NFL all the time”?

Also, you need to get off Lock’s junk, nobody respects fanbois.

Lemme explain. Teams tank in the NFL all the time.
Also, you need to stop projecting your inferiority complex onto everyone. It’s a bad look.

Outstanding!

God I admire you!

Ya know what, let’s ask ourselves just how many positions they desperately need filled?

LT, RT, one CB ... a coverage ILB. Then you’re getting into positions that need better depth, OLB, another CB, but these aren’t desperate needs.

Hold this core together, get/stay healthy (hope JuWuan James stays healthy for his final season in Denver) and you can get LT/CB and get a future RT in the ‘21 draft ... and watch them gel.

This is a young, up-and-coming team, like the Browns ... not the Jets.

Hope he makes a full recovery and regains his equestrian wedding tackle. I'm sure Lock will learn from his mistake.

Mason's point about how a more mobile or gifted QB can raise all ships, that one hits the mark. If that was what Mason was being polite in saying.

"As it stands, the Broncos are more likely to land a top five pick in the 2021 NFL Draft than find themselves in the playoff race. If Lock continues to play as he has across his first seven games, Elway and Fangio will need to have an honest conversation about the quarterback position in the spring."


Thought this was a pretty interesting read.
