Time for Broncos to sign a legit backup QB

[toffee]

With Russ on a downhill projectile with no end in sight, shouldn't it be time to sign a legit backup QB who is ready to step in when they bench Wilson? That shoulder injury or concussion ought to be used as face saving excuses. Regardless of Wilson's face or feelings, signing a backup QB over his protest is a must at this point. Pete babied Wilson's feelin' and never draft or sign any high profile backups, but Broncos shouldn't follow Pete's footsteps.

Any suggestions? recommendations? How about some draft picks and cash for Drew Lock?

I'd say they'd draft one but we got their top pick

 

[sutz]

Now you're just being mean.

I'd say they'd draft one but we got their top pick

We also took their backup.

Denver is in a rebuild with no assets.

drafting is too late, they need one NOW, signing a legit QB this week or next the latest. Inaction will be like head in sand, Matt Flynn is old but available.

I think even Charlie Whitehurst might be a better option...Broncos fans already think Tebow was a better qb.

Just when I couldn't imagine a scenario where this got any uglier for Denver, you go and brighten my day.

They have Brett Rypien.

Who at least had the benefit of playing in the preseason.

 

[Ruminator]

What could make matters worse for Denver is the possibility that some of their skilled position players (you know, "the best group of skilled position players [Russ] ever had by far") might start thinking about greener pastures elsewhere.

 

[toffee]

trade for Minshew?

 

[nwHawk]

Geno must be loving this.

NICK FOLES, Gardner Minshew , Tyrod Taylor and Taylor Heinicke ​

Rypien can play the short game that Hackett prefers so the Broncos receives can nab YAC opportunities. Rypien played in college in a program that was all about spreading the ball around.

Hackett is a lot like his father in that they believe strongly that the short to intermediate WCO passing attack can be used for ball control.

 

[HawkeyGoalie]

Russ would throw a temper tantrum with Broncos management if they considered getting a legit QB that Russell has to compete with.

 

[Scout]

What baffles me is that Hackett like his father likes a lot of crossing route concepts which is more horizontal and closer to a traditional WCO. RW in contrast is about a vertical game.

Something has to give.

Trade them Lock for next years 3rd and 4th!

We do need a legit backup too, that said, a 2nd and a 4th may get looked at. After all friends help friends in need.

Rypien is a bad QB, he ain't no Geno. Therefore, Broncos need desperately and urgently sign a legit backup who is ready to step in and take control. One of these four? NICK FOLES, Gardner Minshew , Tyrod Taylor and Taylor Heinicke
