John Elway Clears Up Some Rumors
This John Elway comic brought to you by an awkward bit of conversation I had with my podcast co-host Sam, who apparently has decided he ho longer likes Trevor Siemian and wants him lynched. He will deny it. Don’t believe his lies.
The Broncos have had such a bizarre year since winning the Super Bowl. They shipped Brock Lobster off to Houston and ran with Trevor Siemian after drafting lanky Tony Stark. Neither played particularly well. Siemian was meh and Lynch looked like a big project. Then they miss the playoffs in a stacked AFC West, the head coach resigns due to health problems, and then hired a guy I don’t think was really on any major radars in Vance Joseph. Joseph seems like a quality coach but I didn’t know a thing about him till he got hired and I said “who?” and did some research. Then we get to the Tony Romo speculation.
I personally strongly desire Tony Romo to be a Texan but if he ended up a Bronco I’d have to qualify Horseface up there as a genius because damn. Getting a great QB at career’s end for a final push worked once and the team is still stacked enough to pull it off again with a player like Romo (Injury being the MAJOR wildcard factor here). Instead, it seems they are committed to using Siemian as a stopgap over a developing Lynch (unless Siemian becomes a good player, anything could happen). I don’t know. Neither QB seems very good. Trevor Siemian’s ceiling feels like, I dunno, Kerry Collins. Really any boring mediocre QB you can think of, which is hard, because they are the most forgettable. Jake Delhomme, there’s one. Alex Smith? Alex Smith. Ryan Tannehill. Nobody is going to remember the Tannehill era in a decade. That’s what Trevor Siemian aspires to.
Romo better be a Texan. if he retires it will be so depressing to see a player who was really good with a few flaws carry a team for so long against so much hate, only to be immediately replaced by a rising star just when people started to warm up to him with his final season being spent on the sideline due to injury and benching.
Romo won’t go to houston, because Jerry doesn’t want Houston in the news, so by the time Romo is released (post June 1), Houston would have spent their first round pick on a QB (probably Kizer or Mahomes), and wouldn’t need Romo as badly as they do now. Heck, Romo could retire if Houston takes a qb and then take John Lynch’s Fox job.
Most likely destinations for Romo (as I see it):
1. Denver
2. Fox (commentating)
3. Houston
4. None
5. Eastern Illinois as an assistant coach
6. A team other than Houston and Denver.
RIP Oakland Raiders (for now): 1960-1981; 1995-2018
RIP Oakland
oh man can you imagine if siemian was a black guy. this cartoon would take on whole diff meaning and be under fire.
As a Chiefs fan i was excited to see Manning finally gone. I don’t know what it was about having him on the field that messed with KCs heads but it drove me crazy.
The first game with Siemian throwing no read passes for 4yds was a very satisfying day for me. The broncos with all their all time defensive swagger would no longer be a threat for a few more years.
There’s no way Romo goes to Denver, because Elway has decided that offensive linemen aren’t required to win football games, just like the seahawks did and you can see how that works out.
I think Siemian is just a little less than Alex Smith, who’s just a little less than Matt Ryan, who’s just a little less than Tom Brady.
“Pursuing”. Not “Persuing”
Yes, I’m that guy.
You have to do one about the bare(pun) ass naked pics of Cutler…
