Except you are not one of the "freaking kids" and as you realized on your last birthday, you were "officially in the "old farts" club of us 60 year olds on the downside of life"

I’m like a long snapper. I play 10 or so snaps a game. Lo mileage.

Because they needed the right talent around them.

Huh???

The talent around a QB changes every single year.

It takes a certain amount of luck and a few plays here and there to go your way.

The point is that your statement that "Josh has been the QB for 6 years and has won 0 SB's." is dumb.

It's not dumb because it was in response to your comments about every year being a possible SB year because we have Josh. It's simply not true. The QB is the biggest piece but he can't do it alone and the last 6 years prove that.

We were already behind KC, Cincy and probably a few other teams, and now we're worse than we were a few weeks ago. We aren't closing the talent gap. We're going in the wrong direction.

Re: So where do we stand after today's bloodletting?

John Elway had been the QB for 14 years and had won 0 SB's.

Elway won it after he got TD to take the pressure off him.

Lets hope our improved run game has the same effect with Josh.

Jesus Christ.

They finally have a unit where guys are playing where they are supposed to be and came out completely healthy and moderately successful and it's "Well, hell, we can't have that let's **** things up and start switching them around again".

Experts my ass.

^Didn't see Mace's post before I ranted. My bad, brother.

Re: So where do we stand after today's bloodletting?

Do you mean draft?

because we definitely need 3 safeties at this point. Including both starters.

From wherever, I was just referring to starting spots in general that need to be filled.

Nope. It's dumb.

Definitely need a center and at least one starting-caliber safety.

I agree, they say there gonna move McGovern to center which i think is stupid, you do that you have 2 position changes instead of 1.

0 for 6 with Josh. We need more than just him.

Re: So where do we stand after today's bloodletting?

Rumor has it McGovern is switched to center... hasn't played it since college...Edwards goes to lg.

Morse is the only center besides Bates, Allen has ever worked with...finally got a decent year from the ol in front of the franchise gem and they're going to pork around with it?

Center is the qb of the ol.... it's not plug and play and gravy.

Whatever.

and it would be a stupid move , McGovern hasn't played center in the NFL not to mention when you do that your making 2 changes on the line instead of 1,,, the O-line was the only real stability last year now lets screw that up..

Im for getting younger but they should have brought in a center last year to groom.

I’d bet on taking a center 2nd/3/rd round in the draft that gets lots of 1st team reps in camp.

A rookie C snapping the ball and protecting Josh? Yikes. Those “inches to go” straight ahead surges would be gone. Also, expect at least 5 fumbled snaps.

If a rookie can play what difference does the position make? Lindebaum and Humphrey are two recent examples off the top of my head that started and excelled as rookie centers.

We know in your world it’s always cloudy but here in the real world the sun shines quite often.

(also nowhere did I say the rookie will definitely start, just that he’d get a chance to compete, although if he shows out he could certainly win the job)
