Thread: Source: Denver Broncos to sign QB Blake Bortles after Drew Lock injury

Jeff won the Maxwell and Gatorade high school player of the year awards. He was also ranked as the best pro style quarterback in that class by rivals and scout. I'm not trying to say that that translates to the nfl, but he is a superb athlete and throws a good ball. the thing for him has always been recognition and touch

So... Driskel starts right? Asking for a friend.

Hmmmn. 6'5". That's not near tall enough for Elway to name him one of his favorite giraffes. Now "Paxton . . . is tall." So is Brock!

Yeah, Bortles can’t practice until Friday at the earliest, I think, COVID protocols.

Lol

Bortles is going to be the back-up Sunday if he passes COVID protocol. This FO doesn't want to rely on Rypien if Driskel goes down. Bortles has experience as a vet. your number 2 is often a vet, Drew is now on IR. pretty smart move actually. I mean if Drioskel goes down do we really want Rypien and Freeman as our options lol. Blake isn't amazing but it could be worse, He fits in well as a Back-up QB

Funniest part: she divorced him because he was "lazy and unmotivated" -- which any Broncos or NFL fan could have told her before she married him!

Kristin Cavallari divorcing ‘lazy’ Jay Cutler because he was ‘unmotivated’

Jay Cutler opted for a change of scenery amid his divorce from wife Kristin Cavallari.

On Thursday, the former NFL quarterback — who is based in Nashville — posted a collection of photos from his trip to Montana on Instagram.

“Well done MT. Until next time,” Cutler captioned the images, with one featuring a rainbow.

In April, Cutler and Cavallari revealed they were breaking up after seven years of marriage. The announcement came shortly after the pair returned to the US from the Bahamas, where they were quarantined with friends for three weeks.
Cutler and Cavallari share three children: sons Camden, 7, and Jaxon, 6, and 4-year-old daughter Saylor.

Prior to the divorce, the pair’s relationship was prominently featured on Cavallari’s reality series, “Very Cavallari,” in which Cutler, 37, became something of a breakout star. Last month, Cavallari, 33, announced the show would end after three seasons. see also Kristin Cavallari's ex-pal denies having an affair with Jay Cutler

“As I start this new chapter in my life, I have decided not to continue with ‘Very Cavallari,'” she said. “I’ve absolutely loved my time filming and am so grateful to E! Entertainment for making this journey possible.”

The show not only encompassed the evolution of Cavallari’s business, Uncommon James, but addressed Cutler’s post-football plans, as well as the dissolution of Cavallari’s friendship with stylist Kelly Henderson.

In January, Cavallari spoke to Page Six about Henderson, who was rumored to have been involved with Cutler. The mother of three said it was “challenging” at first to discuss Henderson, noting she was “hesitant to put it out there until I could really wrap my head around it and know what was going on.”

Last month, Henderson said she had “nothing to do” with Cavallari’s divorce from Cutler.

“I’m just going to go ahead and put this out there, there was never an affair. I have nothing to do with their divorce, and I’m not dating Jay Cutler,” Henderson said on Laura Wasser’s “All Fair” podcast.

As for Cutler, he recently wished Cavallari a happy Mother’s Day on Instagram, calling the former “Hills” star “a good one.”

is it wrong that i was half rooting for jeff to twist an ankle, so we could see royce back there? let's be honest-- that would be WAY more entertaining than watching rypien. . .

Pretty much this. Not like there is much else out there right now on the market. Bortles is about as good as we could have done. In fact, I think he's a better option than Driskel anyway, so I'm not really sure why we didn't sign him in the first place.

Iirc, JFE has always liked Bortles ... and I like his wife.

Bortles > Case Rypien = Science.

He was the QB of a team that was just a few plays from making a super bowl. Granted that was their defense, but there is way worse we could have done as a backup. He should be starting as soon as he's up to speed.

I don't really buy into what Driskel did against Pitt. No Broncos tape on him and they didn't prepare for him. If he lights up Tampa I'll change my tune.

Driskel missed two wide open TD’s, as good as he played he should’ve played better. And that’s coming from someone who has always liked Driskel.

it moved.
