See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
So you’re saying there’s a chance. The Broncos are not technically eliminated but this is a must win if they want to avoid the inevitable. Is it the best option for the team to go out and give it their all? Sandy says they have a long way to go before they are a serious contender. Signs point to this being true but on paper things look closer than some think. Is there anything left the Broncos can show us that could create some optimism moving forward? Jonathan Cooper could be the future but has barely been on the field recently. Who will be back in 2022 and who will go? More Broncos discussion and a dive into how the layoff will impact the Avalanche in the final hour of the show.
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
Is there anything left for the broncos to play for? Are they any better now than they were this time last year? Do they really have the foundation for the future or is that a myth as well? How does one determine where fault should be assigned? Where do the Bronco receivers rank compared to the rest of the league? They aren’t showing us anything different so it shouldn’t surprise anyone that the fan base isn’t optimistic. Further, Courtland Sutton and Tim Patrick are making as much as Kupp and Godwin but not performing even close to the competition. Did they over pay or was this another example of desperation from the Broncos management? The Broncos avoid drafting linemen despite evidence showing the true importance. Lloyd Cushenberry returning will make a huge difference after we saw what happens when he is out. Is there too much focus on skill positions?
See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
If the Broncos swing for the fences and miss, then what? Hope is not a plan so please tell us what the plan really is. Sandy and Shawn discuss whether other options are really just Joe Flacco 2.0 and if this is a situation where John Elway would sell the farm for a QB but Paton wont. Later the guys ponder if Rodgers could retire if he wins a super bowl. What if he loses? Is it realistic to think he could actually leave Green Bay? What other names out there that could end up in Orange and Blue? Kirk Cousins or Matt Ryan possibilities or are we looking at another year with Drew Lock? DenverFan.com’s James Merilatt joins to help sort through the details and maybe ruffle a few feathers.

What is the most likely outcome if Drew Lock plays out the rest of the year? It’s looking more and more that Lock is not the guy and the Broncos are likely looking for his replacement. However, Green Bay is very good so why in the world would they let Aaron Rodgers go? If the Broncos can’t get their guy, then what will it take to get the QB of the future? What would you be willing to give up for a Rodgers or Wilson? Albert O? Jerry Jeudy? Courtland Sutton? If not them then who? There are many that don’t think Rodgers or Wilson will move at all so, who else could come in and take the Broncos to the promised land? Later the guys tackle one more major question, why did the Broncos bring in Fangio as head coach? With so much going on you won’t want to miss a minute of this one
