OT: Schefter - Denver Trades for Vernon Davis

Just heard the Broncos have inquired about Joe Thomas, OT, Browns..

I really hope not. I want him for the Patriots...

Though Davis is likely on the downturn of his career, I think the Broncos are better on offense with Davis then without him.

Manning looks ok (he didnt even throw a td and still had an interception) in his first game of the season...and the broncos trade for a te who has done nothing and the board cowers in fear like we have no chance

Have some confidence in your team guys

The thing with Davis is, his entire career is predicated on the word potential. The reality is, he's had 3 excellent seasons out of 10.

This is true, but we have to consider the QBs he's had to play with over the years. Alex Smith is a sorry to mediocre QB, Kaepernick is just overrated trash, but he is highly marketable, like RG3 before he went nuts. If Davis had a decent QB passing him the ball, he would've matched his potential years ago. A fair comparison is Graham without Brees or Julius Thomas in Jacksonville.

Nope never played team sports. Ever. Regardless that means nothing. This conversation was stupid the instant you started in with the Denver scares me bit. It's like me saying Clay Buchholz will pitch 200 innings with zero health issues, even though the past 4 season he hasn't. Same with Ware. Talib is injury prone. Year after year. Those are the constants and that doesn't change based on coaching staffs or whatnot.

The Broncos have my respect as a decent team. Scary? Not in the least.

LOL, knew it. That clearly explains why you know nothing about what type of mindset a team has year in and year out, especially when change occurs. So why talk out of your ***? Again, you have no insight on what type of makeup composes this Broncos team, yet you continue to engage me to try and prove that because a team was weak a year ago, they still are because you say so....

Talib being injured is not a constant, it's a frequent occurrence that has no barring on this current season and what may soon be to come. You're basing your point on past circumstances that, again, have no barring on this current season.

Done with this conversation, I've already wasted too many braincells on you.

I don't understand salary cap and transactions as well as most people here do... how are the Broncos still within cap space though I understand Vernon Davis isn't an expensive addition.... It seems like they have a pro bowl roster themselves...

I have been asking myself this question about Denver and Seattle, since last season.

You realise manning is horrible this uear right? 7Tds and 11 interceptions.

Mb manning of old would make him better. Not this manning

And he will get worse with wear and weather

They do a good job at managing the cap and write team friendly contracts. And don't have much dead cap space taken up. And still have 4.8M under right now after the Davis trade.

I think I'm too confident.

Are people really scared of Denver? They can add Calvin Johnson tomorrow, they will still suck unless they can implant Manning with a lab generated arm and fresh regenerated nerves from some innocent embryo and have it working by December. I sure don't care for Denver's overrated defense either because they beat up on some beat up GB team. Brady has had no problem shredding Wade Phillips' defenses over the years and he has definitely had no problem with beating Denver's D the past couple years. I don't see much changing this year.

I know. That's why the Davis signing isn't gonna make a difference for Denver, unless he is there to block. I was just responding to a post about Davis not living up to his potential. I feel it has more to do with him not have a reliable QB, than him not playing up to his potential.

Dont think the pats will give up the asking price for thomas. I certainly see denver doing it.

Harmon, McCourty, Butler, Collins, Ryan... I'd even argue Chung as well

I'm not ****ting on it, but I'm not playing it up to be some super trade either. They upgrade at TE, but hes not going to give us problems like Julius Thomas gave us problems

Patriots have allowed just two touchdowns all season to tight ends. https://twitter.com/DougKyed/status/661365989708206080…

Can't see new Broncos TE Vernon Davis causing too many issues for the Patriots, who are allowing just 4.6 catches, 41 yards per game to TEs.

Chung is the reason we are shutting down TEs.

Careful now. I was told earlier in this thread that those are "destroying the Patriots defense" numbers.

Pretty admirable of BB to say that in the first go around here that they didn't use him right.

Even God isn't perfect.

Smartish. They have it all pushed back until after Manning's contract is up. So if they want to remain competitive after that, they'd better hope Osweiler's really good.
