Thread: Broncos Hiring George Paton as GM

And I keep saying it but if Buffalo had given up on Josh Allen after one season or held him to the same standard that many people want to hold lock to they never would have known what they had and no one can tell me that after his first season and a half anyone thought he would be playing at this level

What about the people that will be available at 8:45?

7:00 to 8:30 is the sweet spot, imo.

There’s no qb in this draft outside of TL that doesn’t have some holes. I don’t see the Broncos taking another developmental guy. And Paton in his first go would be nuts to anchor himself
To that.
If it was me I would go all in a Watson trade or stick with lock.

Agree. Lock is a mulligan anyways. He even might be a dude if he and Amy can patch things up.

Stafford is officially on the trading block.

Watson apparently wants NYJ or Miami in that order for some reason - can't imagine the Niners or Colts wouldn't be far more appealing for Stafford.

I'd kill for either, but the sad thing is Stafford would still probably be the 3rd worst QB in the division. Denver is pretty ****** right now.

That Amy thing feels good doesn’t it.

Read a post by Matt Miller refuting those are Watson’s choices.
It is lying season after all.

Allegedly the NYJ are his No1 choice.

Seems more than a bit odd - when he hasn’t asked for trade yet he’s / his team etc is putting out his wish list for Trade partners. I’m def calling bs on that

The idiot NYJ fanbase are creaming for him today.

Two weeks ago they were creaming for Fields.

Last month they were creaming for Lawrence.

He's the flavor of the month now. They're going to win the next 4 SBs because they're going to get Watson. Same as they said when they got Darnold 3 years ago. They're the worst.

It’s not like they changed their cream by choice, of course they turned their attention to Fields after losing out on TL. Of course they’d rather have Watson than Fields.

I wish I could have that “flavor of the month” .

He seems to have said what he knows, he liked him coming out of college, but hasn’t studied him as a professional yet which would be the case, I’m pretty sure GMs don’t study other team’s quarterback that’s not even available on the market.

i know this is the paton thread, but i don't wanna start a new one over stafford rumors. . . denver radio was all over it today. . . unless it's cheaper than expected, i hope to hell paton doesn't make that his first move. . . draft and develop! no short cuts-- this isn't a one-year turnaround to a title contender, so don't waste resources on short-term fixes. . . with the obvious caveat that trading for watson is a LONG term fix, but i highly doubt he's available to us anyway. . .
