Poor guy.

Look on the bright side; you’re better at judging QB talent than a so-called expert GM or OC.

I can only imagine this is a troll post because I know you aren't unaware of the fact that Paton has legitimately tried to trade for every good QB that's potentially been available this offseason.

He missed one.

He didn’t “legitimately” try shit.

He traded for Bridgewater though.

Let’s not act like teddy is some safe quarter back when every time he’s started he’s thrown 10 plus ints and never more than 15tds. He’s going to transform himself in year 10 to a guy that can lead an offense to score points? Not!

Like I said something has to go terrible like lock flames out for teddy to play. Because what teddy brings to the QB room is a good guy veteran, he doesn’t bring much of anything to the actual field when it comes to winning on offense.

You’re not listening.

Go look at the QB’s in Paton and Shurmur’s past, they don’t do prospects ... they do Case Keesum and Kirk Cousins. Bridgewater brings exactly that.

We all know Paton’s history in Minnesota (drafted Bridgewater and gave $100M guaranteed to Cousins) but look at Shurmur; coaching Keesum (scrub) gets him a HC job and then coaching Danny Dimes (prospect) gets him fired.

Trading for a good QB is hard. Teams don't just give them away. This isn't Madden. And it's still May. Our starting QB could very well not be on the roster yet. Maybe Watson gets cleared. Maybe Green Bay caves. In any case, you're being a drama queen over this. If getting a QB was easy, every team would have a good one. It's the hardest thing to get in sports.

Two 1sts, a 2nd and additional player/draft compensation to start with.

The Packers do not need Chubb, they’re going to have to figure something else out. They don’t seem to value WR’s either, plus you don’t want to trade the assets AR covets anyway.

If Paton doesn’t find a QB all those “darts” won’t matter much.

Jaded has a Fieldboner.

Paton didn’t draft bridgewater, however drafting bridgewater out of college hoping he could be a good quarterback is way different than teddy in year 10 of either injured or being poor to mediocre at his peak. Paton didn’t even want teddy if he had to pay what teddy was making before it was worked out that Carolina pays the bulk of it.

He doesn’t seem interested in spending big on teddy because he knows teddy is mediocre but a good guy who does it the right way in practice and can be a veteran presence for lock and be a guy who can come in and play if lock is hurt or flames out for literally one year.

Paton wasn’t the actual GM in Minnesota either.

Shurmer on the other hand I have no idea why he was initially brung here, I would have rathered Lock and Scangs grew together another year. Shurmer has yet to show that he can mold his system around a young quarterback or his offense flat out stinks! After all he’s only coached a top 5 offense twice in the last 13 year’s.

Damn the struggle is real.....

I’d rather Paton keep those darts and just drafts his own QB if lock doesn’t work out, he’s pretty good at throwing the darts imo, broncos had a great draft, even Elway has been drafting great before he left. One thing for sure is the broncos have some great home growing talent, it would be great for lock to be part of it all but if he can’t do it the broncos have to go to the draft next year and start developing another guy before tossing him out after 18 game’s.

If he whiffs on all the available QBs, Lock sucks, and Fields looks great in Chicago, then yes we can get mad at Payton. I'm not gonna get pre-med in June when none of this has happened yet.

...and yet we are supposed to believe that Paton is confident in Lock, when he sought out every Other Option?

One of the first things he said is the Broncos will be involved in every discussion to the extent it makes sense for the team.

He's sought out every option thus far, as he said he would, and Drew is still the #1 qb at this time.

Why?

Because Drew made more sense for the organization vs any other qb at their deal price for the team.

If he had zero confidence in Lock another #1 QB would already be here and Drew wouldn't be.
