"Malik Jackson and Danny Trevathan were the weakest part of our D" - LicoriceAllsorts. Sometime last week.

"Brock Osweiler is terrible"
- LicoriceAllsorts. About 3 months ago

:sweatsmile::sweatsmile::sweatsmile:

Times, they are a changin'.... What was meh is now a good draft pick. :D:thumbsu:
Wow, 2 of the least important players on one of the beat defenses of all time are bad players? Lol

Dont think i ever called osweiler terrible, but proof would be nice
 
When he took over:
4-12

Since:
64-26 record
5x Division Champs
2x AFC Champs
1x Super Bowl Champs

By picking apart free agency as i said and having one of the greatest QB's of all time fall in your lap. Dont let the truth get in the way of a good story.

Ohh and happy bday for yesterday LA. :thumbsu:

You said they would be easy to replace, remember? Jesus, you take homerism to a whole new level.

Oh, Peyton ******* Manning just 'fell' into Elways lap did he? God give me strength

Convincing star free agenta to come to your team is much harder than picking a good player who has no choice of team anyway

Cheers

Yeah they will be easy to replace, because the 9 other guys starting on that D are guns and within a year Elway will have found someone just as good through Draft/FA

How many teams were in the running for Manning? Its not like 30 teams could afford him. It was 3 or 4 by memory, and you were competing with teams like the Titans for his signature FFS.

He went to College in Tennessee you realise? They were the favorites

Not to mention the Dolphins, Cardinals, 49ers, Chiefs and Seahawks who were all given a better chance than Denver. Ffs, the 49ers had all the pieces already in place, Manning would elevate them to historic levels

NO ONE thought he would come to Denver. Next minute the headline:

"Peyton Manning asks agent to open negotiations with... the Denver Broncos"

People are shocked everywhere, what why does he want to go there?!?!?

Elway told him, I'll put a team around you that will win you a super bowl and help you go out on top

Manning creates the best offense ever only to get killed in the SB. This pisses Elway off pretty bad, so he decides to turn a middle of the road defense in 2013 into a top 5 defense ever in the space of.... 2 seasons.....

That Elway, he's pretty good, hey?

Yep, very

Titans were favourites, i remember, ridiculous when you think about it really though, you know very well Manning wasnt going to go to a scrub team with no chance of winning. He wanted to win, home town means * all to someone like that.

Like i said, Elway is very good at picking apart free agncy, puts those shiny horse chompers to good use. Drafting is another story.

Manning dominated in Denver for a few years, but I would've loved to see him in San Francisco. He negotiated with the Niners and at one point was very close to a deal with them.

That elite Niners D from 2011-2013 with a dominant Manning would have been as close to a 'complete' team as possible.

chiefs will win the division imo, la ranting about how s**t they are and how good the donks are just reconfirms he is a bias twit.
most sportsbooks have the donks as slight faves.
I think the best argument for the broncos being improved is that sanchez is an upgrade over the corpse of peyton/brock.

I fail to see how Sanchez is an upgrade, but a downgrade. He'll start until he stinks up the joint in the first four or so games, then they'll resort to Siemian.

Um... I predict the Broncos and Chiefs to both finish 10-6...

But in what way is Sanchez a downgrade? Doesn't make sense
He's physically more able than Peyton was last year, but the cerebral part of his game is far worse than Peyton, and I would say below Osweiler's too, in what Osweiler showed last season anyway. He was just a manager for the most part, and that's what Sanchez is, and is going to be. But Sanchez has that bravado in him of a veteran and first round pick where he thinks he can fling it about, is capable of it.
