And thats the crux of it, Denver is not rebuilding at least according to the FO so going with the more experienced guy in a tight competition makes sense from that standpoint.

Here is the thing football people outside Denver thought Lock had a very good camp. Football people inside Denver thought Drew didn't have a bad camp but that teddy was better at times and showed he was the leader this team needed. The coaches believed that as well. After 8 years he absolutely is a great locker room guy and a great leader, just not a great talent at Qb. Fangio loves that shit eats it up, its no surprise he went with Teddy, and I guarantee it also goes back to the covid game Hinton started last year and a young QB being stupid. Fangio and Shurmur both thought they would manage teddy and the defense would ball. Injuries have hurt sure, but they happen to every team every year. Coaching is this teams main problem right now through and through.

Its pretty telling that the exact same shit is happening to teddy that happened to drew, and drew f'ed his throwing arm up last year as well. many of us weren't wrong when we gave reasons why Drew struggled. Those same reasons actually apply to teddy at times this season and there are a couple common denominators. Play calling, coaching, OL play, WR depth etc...lets not also forget the defense had issues last year as well and not just with injuries but execution.....sound familiar......

To my knowledge and from i remember reading back in the offseason Denver was actually talking with Detroit and the fact Denver wouldnt give up Lock was one of the hangups. Now, the other side of that is Detroit could have been wanting to trade with LA the whole time so both things can be true. Considering Detroit wanted Goff in their trade kind of tells me Detroit wanted some kind of QB in the trade no matter whom they dealt with.

Shurmur is not the reason why Drew Lock can't read the field, or do anything pre-snap, etc. He's not the reason why Lock overthrew WR's last season, etc. You can certainly say that he's a bad OC, and all that, but you cannot, with any veracity simply go "Shurmur is here so none of it is on Drew Lock."

Drew has the same issues now that he had before Shurmur. And there's no evidence that Shurmur didn't try to coach Drew to understand how defenses work, etc.

Lolz. Drew Lock had 6 NFL games prior to Shurmur. And according to media opinion at that time (the only opinion I'm told matters) many thought we'd struck 2nd round gold.

3 NFL quarterbacks who should be benched after Week 7

The Denver Broncos have lost four games in a row with Teddy Bridgewater
As it turns out, the Denver Broncos were the epitome of fool’s gold. Though they have gotten off to hot starts in September in recent years, sub-par quarterbacking play is almost always their undoing. In a game where they should have had a quarterbacking advantage, the Broncos lost a bad one to the beat-up Cleveland Browns on Thursday Night Football. Teddy Bridgewater is not it.

It was only Week 7, but Bridgewater has already hit his limited ceiling leading the Broncos offense. He completed 23-of-33 passes for 187 yards, two touchdowns and an interception. While Bridgewater had nothing to do with the Broncos’ bad run defense trying to contain D’Ernest Johnson, he should have been able to do more to defeat his former teammate Case Keenum.

Riding a four-game skid, the Broncos have no choice but to see what Drew Lock has going forward. They are quickly becoming the worst team in the deep AFC West. While everybody and their brother expects for new general manager George Paton to clean house at the end of the season, the Broncos need to figure out what they have in Lock before they run out of runway.

Denver can always go back to Bridgewater, but he is not taking the Broncos to the AFC playoffs.

Don't say I didn't warn MANY times that the thread would be closed if ya'll kept getting personal. Telling someone to go to another board or that they aren't liked is getting personal. PUT PEOPLE ON ******* IGNORE OR DEAL WITH THEM WITHOUT GETTING PERSONAL!
