Remmber when you told me Aldon Smith was going to revamp his career in Oakland and give the Raiders the best 1-2 combo of pass rushers in the NFL? What happened?
What happened to Semen?

He is a decent signing in my book. Contract wise it is very team friendly. Allows them to get out of it after a year from what I understand if they need to or if a rookie shows they can outplay him. Gives them though a very solid starter. He played as a top-10 QB in the NFL last year. Finished with the 2nd best QBR in the league and fits the Broncos system well. Players really like playing with him so again I don't mind the signing at all.
I still want the Broncos to take a QB with the 5th pick though in Mayfield, Rosen, or Darnold if they are there.
Nice way to spin it when you lose out on KC. If Keenum was so good, Minnesota would have kept him.
Bradford would have been better than Keenum if they could upgrade the OL and keep him on the field. Bradford has more than 1 quality season under his belt.
Can't we say the same thing about Kirk Cousins then? If he is so good then why would the Redskins let him walk for free?
Is that a rhetorical question? That whole thing with them was a major clusterfuck for the last few seasons. Even their fans on tHoop even admit it.
I would say that Bradford has one good season with a bunch of average seasons. And I'm sorry Bradford got paid more than Keenum and has proven he can't stay healthy for an entire season. I would much rather have Keenum than Bradford.
It wasn't rhetorical. You use the argument of why Keenum is not good as that of his team letting him walk. Well the Redskins let Cousins walk. You can say it is because of their organization being so crappy but this is what happens all the time of organizations give up on a player and they go elsewhere and have great careers. It does happen. I'm not saying Keenum is going to become this incredible QB but for the price the Broncos paid and how they can get out of the deal in the near future if things don't work out it works out for the Broncos. Gives them options at the QB position.
Pretty sure you said Semen and Lynch gave the Broncos options......is it always the same thing with you?
Now your team is trading off players for late round draft picks....
Don't remember saying that about them but maybe I did. There are certain players that lock teams into certain situations. Like signing Cousins to the type of deal the Vikings did that means that over the next couple of years they are going to lose a couple of starters because they locked so much into one player. When you guys sign Mack and still have the contract for Carr it locks you guys into having to build mostly through the draft to win a championship. That is the way it works. The Keenum deal gives the Broncos options in many ways for the cap moving forward and for this upcoming draft of having the option of taking a QB or strengthening another position. His contract doesn't keep them from doing a large range of things.
I'd rather have Carr and Mack signed to those deals and piece together solid FA's like we've done this off-season.
Not too shabby at all.
Not saying that signing those guys are bad. Just that their deals limit the options for the team moving forward and how they can build the roster.
I don't like admitting this, but is was a solid move for the Broncos.
It gives you guys some options at 5 as well.
You guys don't have anymore cap space do ya? Hmmm
What happened to Semen?
