I love his talent, tangible things that Tebow never had.

Paxton's problem was he didn't work hard enough, there's a lot of early 20s young men throughout history with the same problem that turned that around with the right mentors, bosses, etc.

We were told he didn’t work hard but good finding players that don’t play Xbox on their off time, which was the narrative the Broncos shaped in local media.

The truth is probably that PL is just stupid, he’s still trying to stay in football and he can’t do it. He came from a bullshit college offense that taught him nothing that translates to the NFL.

Hackett was awful, but Paton has built a very solid roster. Ultimately his fate hinges on if Russ can figure it out. If he returns to the Russ of old, then that returns to being a home run trade and his job is safe. If we suck again, he's probably gone so the new guy can pick a QB.

So why then would you hate Brock Purdy who seems to be a smart guy that is willing to work hard?

Because PFF says he might be good?

Jaded hates his arm.

We called Eli Manning a little b*tch for refusing to draft with the Chargers. I’m glad Elway was a little b*tch towards the Colts. Worked out pretty good for the Broncos.

I concur 100%. Funny how we are so different, but are a team when it comes to hating Ole Miss.

Oh, great. Another article that bashes Elway (this was from 2016):
