Still, anything has to be better than what Peyton was last year, right?

Zero, in this thread at least. Yankee and effzee are the only ones who seem really against the guy and continue to be. The rest of us are willing to give him a chance.
Can you imagine how pissed off he must have been when Chip just straight up released DeSean? Howie probably could have gotten a first round pick and more for him.

Did anyone even consider trading butt fumble as a possibility? Howie got something for Murray because he is one year removed from winning a rushing championship, he agreed to restructure his contract, and all the Eagles got was to move up 12 spots in the 4th round. Howie da gawd!
To give away Maxwell he had to include Kiko, who looked great as a rookie and now is 2 years removed from his ACL surgery. None of those moves is the least bit impressive. When Chip traded away talented players with bad contracts and other concerns, he was an idiot racist, when Howie does the exact same thing he is a genius.

I'm sorry but if you are a Broncos fan trying to spin this you are deluding yourself. This is a disaster.
I wonder if Kubes sleeps with the Lombardi and dreams of Rick Smith's ass pic?
i got my diploma today so i decided to celebrate by coming back and putting every animu on ignore!

Best to watch how the rest of free agency goes before making such declarations.

Thank you, sir. Curious to give it a read.
On the Giants front:
If you ever wonder why our strength and conditioning coach was replaced.

Tom Coughlin getting this team to 6 wins and to have them in a position to have won at least 4 more is unfathomable to me considering what he was given.

Did this thread just get worse all of a sudden? Seems like it was going so well recently and just now suddenly it got worse.

hold me godslay tell me it's going to be alright
*lays in the fetal position*
I wouldn't be surprised if the Broncos go into camp with 4 quarterbacks.
It's not that bad. I think that Elway will keep a strong team together and grab a good QB when one becomes available. It's bound to happen sooner or later.
glad you stopped being a grover and manned up
celebrate by playing the division with your old pal brad!
of course not you!

Feel bad for Emmanuel Sanders. Is going to a contract year,
Palmieri was Coughlin's boy though, so he has to take some of the heat for it.
Its ok the media will ball wash Elway like some GM demigod.

I doubt Sanchez is being brought in to start. How many QBs do the Broncos normally carry?

I've been down as a Howie fan since day one. Never bought into the media bullshit about him.

You are my bro, slay, but talk is cheap. I'd love to be proven wrong but I think we have witnessed the peak of Elway's stint as a GM.
I think you aren't worrying because you're a chill dude and you guys just won a SB.

If it's 2012 on and you're convincing yourself having Mark Sanchez on your roster is even within the distance of being a good thing, history shows you're already doomed
Like I said, this is post 2012 SB Champ Ravens levels of self destruction. Everybody's got their ring, and everybody's bailing (Osweiler/Peyton vs Reed/Lewis/Jones/etc) or about to get super paid and fuck the team over in the process (Von vs Flacco). You didn't need to add Stupid Trades to the list, but they did and they aren't helping. But hey, look at all those playoff wins post-Buttfumble Jets and Eagles got. I'm sure those rings Chip and Rex got for bravely having Sanchez lead them to glory were worth it because of how successful a move it was.

Don't you dare trash talk Elway. Elway has gone past demigod and is now just a god. Sorry you Houstonites don't know what it's like to have a god on your side.
He just won the Superbowl. With a team he crafted.
Pinnacle of the profession.
No worries, Elway will take care of it.

Also amusing is the Eagles fans wetting their pants over bottom tier draft picks. Better than nothing sure, but a penny is better than nothing and we don't freak out over that "value."
Yeah that would've been huge. In retrospect that was probably the beginning of the Chip Howie feud
Congrats!
It's more unloading his contract. Save an extra $1.5M this year for trading instead of cutting

There is no talk, only hardware.
Elway has delivered 3 SB.
That's why I'm chill.
Man us Broncos fans are cursed. If only we had a roster wizard like Rick Smith.

Let's be completely honest - The chances of the Broncos winning another Super Bowl in the next 3-5 years are slim anyway.
The Defense that carried them there has been gutted, and while Peyton was on his last gasp at QB he was still Peyton Manning and knew how to control an offense.Unless Elway manages to get some QB wunderkind in the draft this is likely the last you'll hear of the Broncos as serious contenders for years.

Excellent. Thank you again. Good read.
Everyone and their mom knew that Sanchez was going to get cut. Yet Howie was still able to get some value for him. Not only did they get a pick, but they saved an extra $1M in cap space. It's a good trade, given the circumstances.
Other than recently he has been average. But the media saying Elway is a genious for walking away from Brock and not really wanting him that much when he kept raising the numbers and stopping at 16.5 a year for him is ridiculous

They have lost two starters on defense....

Say one thing about the offseason: it's never boring
Will always treasure that time we got Dumervil because of a bad fax machine in the 2010s <3

You're talking past, I'm talking present and future. Elway has delivered 1 SB as a GM and many of the key pieces from that run are now gone. Also, Mark Sanchez is currently the best QB on the roster.
Just calling it like I see it.
