I know I'm just being paranoid but I hope Gregory doesn't mess with the chemistry on defense. I still don't buy what the Broncos said about releasing Gregory. That they wanted to focus on the younger players. Who knows though, Sean Payton or Vance Joseph could be dicks!!!!

Broncos are literally the team every other team in the league should do the opposite of.

This group of leaders is too strong.

Its Freds defense.

Do you think for one second he would allow shenanigans in the locker room?

Not for a second. Thing is, Denver passed on hiring Kyle. They sold the farm to get Wilson, who Seattle was smart enough to know had little left in the tank. Bottom line is RG is likely as disheartened as much as many of their other players are in the losing culture they have there. Even if the Niners were losing this year, you'd NEVER see a player as frustrated with the situation as many players in Denver are. Some will still play hard regardless, some won't. But he is coming to a team where he isn't near the best, and I think his competitiveness will drive him to play to his potential.

how did they pass on hiring Kyle ?

I believe they interviewed him and Vance Joseph and made Vance and offer

What do you mean? They didnt offer him the job after his interview, that means they passed.

It's also one of the best things that ever happened to our franchise. Forever thankful to Elway.

Kyle wanted roster control, you know, to bring in guys like CMC and TW. Elway wouldn't give him that.

I have so many Broncos friends living here in Utah, and ALL are disgusted that we have Kyle, Lynch and CMC. It's like if we had the chance to hire Bill Walsh's son, get Ronnie Lott as our GM and later get Jerry Rice's son (if they were all as good) and passed on the opportunity. They're all so jealous you can't even imagine.

Ahh Salt Lake City Niner. Got it. Haha

yeah, especially since it was all within their grasp. It's one thing if they never really had a shot at it but they did.

i remember when we hired Lynch and a co worker st the time is a huge broncos fan - he was jealous cause Lynch was one of his favorite players all time. I was skeptical of Lynch at first but he grew on me pretty quick.

it's been a bumpy ride but I've never lost faith that we had the right coach. It was just the damn injuries and lack of qb that bothered me.

When I was young NBC and CBS broadcast the games, but since we didn't have o e, they chose our regional teams for us. CBS covered AFC and Denver was the regional team, so those were the only games broadcast. SF was the regional NFC team, so same. When FOX bought the NFC rights, they kept SF as our regional team until Young retired. So now, EVERY Broncos game is televised here, but I had to get Sunday Ticket to watch Niners. Anyway, Utah is half Niners fans, half Broncos fans.

I could see that. I grew up in Northern California so the 49ers games were always on. Then when I moved I'd either stream it online or watch it somewhere - I now use puffer most weeks though. It's a cool free live tv website that Stanford offers. Only downside is that 500 people at a time can be logged in.

so I'll log in about an hour before the game starts and let it just run on my laptop. If I forget, I just refresh the page over and over again until I get in. Lol took me 20 straight minutes the other day… it's better than using a crappy stream though and everything lags and delayed.

Elway was a crappy GM, he only lucked out Peyton wanted to play there and when he retired he couldn't find a qb to save his life

Yeah, manning essentially did the same thing Brady did. Went to a good roster and signed a bunch of free agents. Their d line the year they won the super bowl was awesome. Just von Miller & Demarcus ware is great. They had more. Lol

It was less about Elway and more so Joe Ellis. Not only was he apparently adamant about not hiring Kyle, he blocked Elway from hiring Mike after Vance Joseph was fired.
