Hey Guys!
Awesome pod, very excited for Wilson and Hackett! My question for you today is, do you think we will see any struggles from the offensive side since it’s a new system with Hackett? Or will it be gold from the beginning since we have Wilson? I think it can go either way. Thanks guys, GO BRONCOS LETS RIDE

Great pod my dudes. Best in the biz and it really isn’t even close.
I am already so sick and tired of hearing people complain about Russ being too positive and how he is too rehearsed and it’s just an act and blah blah blah. Wtf is going on here?!? So we want a guy who is arrogant like Aaron Rodgers. Or a Cam Newton. I mean what am I missing. The guy loves football and loves people and wakes up everyday with a positive outlook. And this is a bad thing how?? People really are something. Im pretty stoked we have a Hall of Fame quarterback who is also a good person. And if it is all an act then the dude is as good an actor as he is a QB and that’s cool too.

Broncos resigning Melvin is a great move. I think Javonte needs another year before he can fully be our #1 RB. I love him as 1a and Melvin as 1b. Plus, that’s another need off the draft board! Melvin just has an eye for the end zone and I can’t wait to watch Russ hand it off to him!
When Russ got traded I was at work. I remember just before lucnhtime (east coast) I read Aaron was staying in GB. I was working on replacing an electrical panel when I look at my phone and saw it was 2:30. Day’s almost over I thought. I look a little lower and a text that I will never forget reads, “WE GOT RUSS!!!!!” from another Broncos fan. I dropped my tools out of my other hand and ran to social media as quick as I can, and YES! I couldn’t believe it. As others have said I just had to figure out what we gave up for him. As each piece was revealed I kept waiting for the big one like Jeudy or Surtain, but nothing ever came. FLEECED!
And the best part about it, my boss (older guy) always liked to tease me that we had no QB, and he’s a Jets fan, so confident in the direction his franchise is headed (for some reason..). It was only my 2nd week and when I told him he said “You know you’ve only been here a week and you’re already pissin’ me off!” Jokingly of course. That’s the story, pretty lame but I figured I’d join the trend!

hey guys,
so nfl.com do profiles on most of the draft prospects each year and assign a number grade to each player with the number corresponding to their evaluation. for example a score over 7.0 means they’re a future pro-bowl talent, 6.7 to 6.9 means a 1 year starter etc
so, they gave pat surtain a 7.02 last year and this year the perceived best player aidan hutchinson has a 6.80 score. with that in mind, do y’all think surtain would’ve been the number 1 overall player this year?

GP just being GP. Roster building Masters Class. With no holes anywhere on this roster are you guys thinking he wants to package picks to go get an impact player or better yet Ojabo?
Mr.Undrafted
You guys were talking about trade Chubb and our 64 to move up to the 40-45 spot potentially, but the Seahawks have the 40 and the 41 spot, would they take Chubb now? If so why wasn’t he part of the Wilson trade and what changes now if he has part of it and Seattle said no.

MY DUDES!!!
It has been so so long since the BadOne blessed these comments. But fear not, I have never stopped listening or supporting on Twitter, IG, and YouTube. you guys are still a very key part of my day to day and just keep rocking out the great work.
I just wanted to come in here and just praise the GENIUS that is George Paton and his team. I mean if you really sit here and think about it, the Rus trade helped George basically retain all “fringe” vets that possibly could have bolted to other opportunities if the team still did not have “the guy” at QB. To me, you traded a 1st and 2nd (and Fant.. Shelby and Lock were replaced in free agency) this year to secure Wilson, which helped bring back Jackson & Gordon and the jury is still out on Bryce, Alexander Johnson, and Kenny Young.
Paton literally can just trade back every pick he has this year IF HE WANTS because we have no MAJOR hole to overreach for.
We never really saw this level of strategy with Elway at the helm. GP we got your back.
Till next time my dudes.

Hey guys,
Well I am commenting today with some major disappointment in one of GM Paton’s decisions. I know that’s rare these days. But WHY would he resign Gordon right before the draft?! Maybe we can trade him later for a pick? Please let that happen!!! And for up to $5M?! Hopefully the majority of that is based on if he has no fumbles. In Paton’s place I would have happily paid that to see Gordon on any other team. If he stays with the Broncos this season I would say the over-under for fumbles this season went up by at least 2.5. But what would you put it at? Meanwhile Lindsay is still available and I bet you could get him for $3M or less who still has 0 carreer fumbles! 21 less than Gordon. Ugh!
