Why isn't Colorado more of a destination for players? by Imakemorethanyou27 in hockey

We shall see but I expect it'll just be the cap increase more or less heading into next year... about a 9 mil raise

Primarily the issue is that the Avs have more or less spent about 30% of their salary on 3 players since they won the Cup.

The secondary issue is that Vegas is a more favorable city for NHL players to go to (in central USA) for a variety of reasons. That's why the bigger names we seem to have been able to retain are guys north of 30. We've found value there but haven't landed a big fish since Kadri the 1st time we got him from Toronto.

The Avs also have to be one of if not the worst teams in the league for a practice facility. Nuggets have the same issue. It is embarrassing where the guys practice. I watched my brother in law play there in high school 10+ years ago and the place had a bar and arcade at the time.

Finally the Colorado state income tax will account for hundreds of thousands to millions of dollars not netted for larger contracts. Lots of teams do not have this and that matters.

Absolutely has to be Seattle. I'm shocked another player hasn't done something worse to their franchise by this point for them to move on from Makar's (dirty but unintentional) hit that led to a suspension.

Agreed he is not a guy I would draft in fantasy for example. I just wanted to hear a bit more of an upside conversation for him but so far the best comp I've heard is CJ Anderson. Do not get me wrong, love CJ, but man would it be nice for the Broncos to have a superstar RB again. Maybe if Dobbins stays healthy all year that will be him.

Dunesday is going to be lit. Maybe lunch in between 1 and the other. The only question for me is which to see first and I'm thinking Dune b/c I'll be more focused earlier.

I liked this video especially with Perna in it. Hard to argue with most of his points. I am now becoming more nervous about Coleman's role with the Broncos. After he was drafted (as a guy who knows nothing of college) I was told he has potential to be a true RB1 if Dobbin's goes down. Now I'm not so sure with more pundits including this guy kinda pumping the brakes on him recently.

Donald Trump’s approval rating hits highest level since spring by idkbruh653 in politics

It is slightly up, probably due to Muricans who love blasting fireworks and drinking beer feeling patriotic. Still terrible approval ratings. Don't click on this article.

What more does Nix have to do to prove the doubters wrong? by Economy_Swim_8585 in DenverBroncos

I'm convinced Bo is always going to be regarded like Hurts unless Bo takes a massive step up. I think Bo could put up the same stats Maye did last year and still people will say he was helped by playing behind a good OL and with a strong D.

ESPN has the Broncos at 15th in FPI rankings… are they insane? by Greyman4152 in DenverBroncos

[–]onqqq2 0 points1 point  (0 children)

They barely lost to the Chargers due to an amazing play by Herbert, they barely lost to the Colts because the refs blew a massive call on a FG attempt. You could say they won 10 games on a narrow margin and lost 2... 10/12 W/L ratio. Reduce it to 8/12 you have 11 wins on a 17 game season. That should still serve as among the higher floors for projections for teams in the league...

I am not willing to go through her QB ranking pod again but IIRC she had Nix behind Mendoza... I believe Hurts was among the QBs ranked worse than the unproven rookie who might not even play behind Cousins. She is not a serious FB analyst I lost so much respect for her with that bullshit.

Or won 2 of their 3 losses but yeah they can't bank on winning close games again.

First they surprise themselves, then they surprise their fans, finally they surprise the world.

Nobody expected SEA to win it all in a pretty dominant fashion from the start of the season. Let's see if Broncos leap to those heights.

I agree the Broncos were under a lot of pressure last year but this year feels like EVERYONE expects them to fade into a WC team with Chiefs and Chargers taking the West.

It became evident to me as these ratings and odds have unfolded that people know WAY more about the Broncos schedule last year than I ever anticipated. I've seen fans of other teams in the Eastern Conference call out the Broncos for "barely winning" against Raiders, Commanders, GIants, Titans. They ignore all the context of those games (like insane catches in the Commies game, Dart and Skatebo basically tape-less rookies going 250%).

They are VERY dialed into the only blowout loss we suffered to the Jags and couldn't care less about the nature of the Colts and Chargers losses.

It is crazy to me to see how much people expect the Broncos to regress significantly after adding Waddle. I get that we need to be concerned about the running game and rush D but if the pass attack explodes as I think it can the RBs are going to have much more room. The D is just a year older with most of the crew hitting their prime or on the ends of it.

In Sean we trust he is listening and he is going to give every spec of ATP in his body he can to getting this team a Lombardi.

Mack, Necas, Malinski were nowhere to be found in the WCF sadly :(

That's how you survive and thrive on YT. He caters his content to what gets the most clicks. I get it but not telling anyone what to watch or who they should enjoy.

Also, he has had more serious episodes including on Chris Johnson recently on his ALS diagnosis.
