Alright fellas, time for the weekly heat check on Drew. So far, i’ve taken the Mase approach: there’s been flashes and concerns wait and see. After this game, i’m extremely concerned but not calling it. Give him the rest of the season. If i don’t see major improvement, i’m selling the house to get Fields. @RK still think Drews the guy?

The Broncos are officially hard to watch, and it’s not even close to being fun anymore.

Long Comment: Here is the thing: the Broncos have been 3-6 in the last four seasons and John Elway has yet to pull the trigger on truly overhauling this team. My concern is that if the Broncos finish with 7-8 wins this season we will be back here next year because we keep ‘not rebuilding’. Trust me, I understand that the offense is young and we have been PLAGUED by injuries. Understandable. But the core of this team has been inept since the 2016 season. Every move feels like a bandaid (in particular at the QB position). While Drew Lock may pan out (and he is very young) there is something in this team that lacks the requisite DNA it takes to win. John Elway has not been willing to pull the trigger on a top-flight 21st century quarterback and it shows. While Zac is the never-ending optimist and has his concerns about Justin Fields you have to swing eventually. Not swing in the 2nd round but swing for a top-10 pick at QB. Passing over Josh Allen and Quenton Nelson in 2018 are looking like worst and worst decisions as each game passes. Now we have Shelby Harris, Justin Simmons and Garrett Bolles on the last year of their contracts and they are also the 3 best players on the team. Plus, Elway has radically mishandled the Phillip Lindsay situation. Hired Vance Joseph over Kyle Shanahan. Hired Vic Fangio over Eric Bienemy. All of these decisions are biting the Broncos in the backside and cause me to have GREAT concern as a lifelong Broncos supporter and don’t know if Elway has the vision to change it. Thank you for all that you do. Go UNC Bears.
