Teams Denver Broncos - The Mile High Club

Yep... You know what though, I'm really liking what I see with Bo. Yeah he got sacked for a couple of big losses today, but there were no turnovers, stayed composed, and hit some passes in tight windows when required.
As much as I want us to make playoffs every season, I'm not that fussed if we do miss, as long as we continue to improve, keep the core group of players together and load up again!

Agreed. I saw a post on FB a little while ago asking why we aren't tanking for picks, and I responded basically saying a winning culture is way more important than picks.

We'll likely end up with a pick in the mid-ish teens, which is fine, given Payton has done a great job of instilling a winning mentality with, let's be honest, a bunch of guys who probably wouldn't be getting playing time if our salary cap wasn't crippled. We're playing with $60m tied behind our back and are still in the playoff race. Setting up the culture over 2 yrs then receiving a huge boost in cap space will be massive imo. 2026 could be a big season.

Nix has translated to the league well and plays with more of an edge than I previously gave him credit for. Seems to have a winners mentality. Just wait until he gets an elite receiver or TE.

The only reason to tank is if need a franchise QB. Nix (hate to admit it) looks like he could one so broncos don’t need to tank they need to get as many reps into nix and start winning some games cos losing is contiguous. Plus nfl isn’t like other leagues where all the talent is at top end of draft. Plus rather see nix playing meaning full games in nov/dec that will show alot more than meaningless games.

If the Broncos make the playoffs with this team that would be an incredible coaching job by Payton and great season by Nix

The offensive weapons the Broncos have are pretty poor tbh

Even then I'm not really sure there's a QB worth tanking for in this draft. Picking in the top 5, imo, you should be aiming for a QB, then a pass rusher, then OT. Maybe a CB after that in a distant 4th - more like a top 10 pick than 5. Outside of that I agree, you can just about get elite talent at any position.

Agree, I still hate Bo's footwork but he has a never blinks confidence where the game and moment isnt too big for him, rare to see that in rookie QBs. Keeps getting better every game.

Love this from Bo
