I wonder if they plan to interview more candidates?

Eleven candidates isn't enough? :)

Haven't seen any indication. There were other names previously mentioned as possibilities but no other requests have been submitted.

I'd love to get this wrapped up this week. 

This being the one year anniversary of the Matt Rhule hire, getting it done today would be cool.

For the record, I'm still pulling for Peters, Dodds or Ireland, though I'd be okay with Schoen too.

Dodds or Peters and I'm ecstatic, Ireland I'm happy, Schoen I'm good with it.

Anyone else I'm hopeful (to what level depends on their prior resume).

Seeing a pattern?

Of looking at cap guys when Rhule specifically said he wants a talent evaluator?

Oy :eyeroll:

One of the things that made Marty Hurney so bad at his job was that he all too often believed he was the smartest guy in the room when he was actually far from it. David Tepper could conceivably be that same guy, one who thinks he's gonna revolutionize everything but actually just ends up failing.

I'd hate to think we finally got out from under the thumb of Jerry Richardson just to wind up stuck with someone else who doesn't know what he's doing either.

Ok, thanks for filling in the gaps!

It's strange we are looking at cap specialist when we have one in house hired for that reason. I fear you are right but still hope it's due diligence. Cap expertise sure as hell doesn't help us find talent. That's where we need to improve. 

Honestly, the NFL is set up where the ownership can be the point of failure so many ways. Rhule is endearing himself to me by targeting an area of weakness, I don't really blame an owner for not getting that. Hopefully Rhule can get his guy, that is a guy who is a talent evaluator. I also get Tepper leaning towards a Cap Specialist, the financial strength overlaps his strengths making him comfortable. Seems like a natural struggle for an NFL team, fingers crossed we can fall on the right side of this one.

      Crazy stat

      I don't know about you but I have been a life long Chiefs fan for the past 4 years.

      If "fans" would have came out today we would have made up those 3-points in home field advantage.

      Sure there's a ton of transplants in Colorado now. But as far as Denver in particular goes the Broncos have also been around for 65 years. Someone moving to Denver is going to be far more likely to become a fan of the Broncos and even attend games versus someone moving to Charlotte and the Panthers. Like I said it's not just one single thing with us it's multiple factors.

      Bryce developing before our eyes

      By ImfromClayton · Posted

      He's definitely getting better. It's fun to watch.  I've been getting killed for this take, but with the current state of college football, it just takes more time to develop a quarterback. I don't think it's a plug and play position anymore. I'm really not sure if it ever was. NFL offenses have always been substantially more complex than the college game, and the college game has simplified even more in recent years. Many college teams do not have a physical playbook anymore. That's just not the national football league.  Are there freaks who have success from day 1? Yes, without question. But so many of those guys are runners, and so many of those guys tail off. Is Bryce ever going to be Josh Allen? Probably not.  What I am seeing is a guy with complete command of the offense. He's checking into things at the line, making adjustments, and making timely throws.  He goes to David Moore a ton, because Moore is a consistent route runner. Bryce knows where he is and when he should be open. I think the guy with the "super processor" needs to be comfortable in the offense in order to do the "super processing." He doesn't have elite arm talent, and he is small of stature, but if he makes the smart play consistently, and he's willing to throw the ball downfield and not make mistakes, like he's starting to show, he's going to be a starter for a long time in this league, and it's not a position I'd spend draft capital right now.
