Who will be the Broncos starting qb next year?

[PatsFan2003]

If peyton and the Broncos really thought Brock was leaving, do you think he still would have retired?

He's still done. He knows it too.

Unless the trade value gets to high my guess is week 1 starter is Colin Kaepernick. Just makes too much sense and the Broncos have actually gotten extended looks at him as they have practiced a couple of years now during training camp. So Broncos have gotten a good look at the guy plus Elway has a great relationship with the GM for the 49ers.

If both were FAs I'd take Kaep because he's more durable. I think both guys can be molded into what Kubiak wants.

Considering the CH is probably going to be lower for RG3 (Kaep is $15m for '16 I think) and no draft pick sacrificed...seems more doable.

Well the news coming out of Denver today is that if the Broncos trade for Kaepernick it will be with the understanding that he will re-do his deal when he gets to Denver. They do not want him at that Cap Hit. So if he is not willing to do that or the trade cost is too much then yes RGIII quickly jumps to the top of the list.

I do know that John Elway and company have talked to people who have worked with RGIII. They have gotten mixed reviews so far. He is definitely on their radar but I think they see Kaepernick as a guy with a little less baggage if he were to come to Denver. Also the injury history of RGIII really does hurt his value.

Other:

John Elway pulls the helmet out of the attic and straps it on for one more run at glory!

I still think Fitzpatrick makes all the sense in the world for the Broncos. But the money is so crazy right now and the Broncos don't have a ton of space to maneuver.

I wonder if they aren't kicking the doors just to see what the 49ers want for Kaep. His athletic ability and strong arm would fit what Kubiak wants to do in his offense.

lol , Elway the first player GM !

Kaepernick, he fits the system perfectly and has shown flashes of brilliance before. He's not perfect and needs some work but he'd fit in quite nicely.

Hey but you should be happy though, you guys got rid of Ron Jeremy and now are coached by Barney Rubble, give it a couple more years and you might actually have a competent coach.

Hmmm I guess is 4.0 GPA in high school and his 4.0 GPA in college mean he can't read. Or how about his 37 wonderlic score when the QB average is 24.

Attack him for some things but intelligence isn't one of them.

Sorry.

He misspelled "to learn how to read... a defense."

I'm still intrigued by RGIII. I can't believe he now sucks.. I still think he has potential to be good.

Maybe this guy?

Nice try. The Ravens have that guy locked up for another 5 years at least.

It's funny how people keep saying that Denver won't make the playoffs with Kaepernick. These are the same people that were talking trash all last season because of Denver not winning games because of the offense. These are also the same people that either said that Denver would be one and done in the playoffs and wouldn't win the Super Bowl with subpar QB play. How about we actually wait and see what happens because both QBs that they lost had a combined 20 total TDs and 24 total turnovers. I'm not sure if they're Super Bowl bound just yet but this Broncos team in my opinion is STILL a playoff team even with the AFC West getting better.

These 2 are coming to save the day. They may be a little bit older but they still have a year or two left. Backup would be Elway for obvious reasons.

I doubt it will be RGIII just because of Kubiak's ties to Shanahan. Shanahan sure didn't seem sold on RGIII on his way out the door in Washington and I am sure that the Broncos 1st call when thinking about RGIII was to Shanny.
