Schlereth and Evans 104.3 The Fan

Mat Smith in for Mike Evans this morning as Stink challenges listeners to figure out how much water belongs in his koi pond. Earlier this week Mike Klis said that inside the Clubhouse, the Broncos expect themselves to be a good team this year. Mat gets Stinks take on that before we hear from our Denver Post Insider Troy Renck who tells us all about what he saw at OTA’s, the difference in this year’s roster outside of the QB room and what a successful season will look like for Sean Payton.

There seems to be a sense of optimism creeping around the corner here in Denver for the Broncos. Jame Palmer said yesterday that the #1 thing to figure out this year is whether or not Bo Nix was the right pick. Then, Joel Klatt says that CU should be a lot better this year if they strengthen their protection for Shedeur, but Stink says it’s not as simple as going out and getting a bunch of big guys that’s going to make you a good team.

The Broncos have a 1 in 31 chance of making it to the Superbowl and 1 in 16 chances of making it to the playoffs- so it’s not off the wall to have Debbie downer expectations for this team. Mat explains his “ceiling theory” to help define what success would look like this year. Also, who is the best offensive player on the squad right now and what does that say about the state of this roster?

Sean Payton essentially referred to his QB room as a bunch of rescue dogs. How are Mat and Stink feeling about that? Also, why exactly is Zach Wilson here? Ocean Gate Part II, Rockies shocking the world, Bronny Jr. and Stinks Western Michigan Broncos are the topics of discussion as we close out the show. 

Well well well, the Timberwolves stay alive. How likely is it they’ll win another game against the Mavs? Stink is still sore from all that yard work he did over the weekend, but it doesn’t stop him from weighing in on the new NFL offseason changes. Finally, we hear from Tom Brady who provides great insight on developing rookie QB’s.

Yesterday Mike and Mark discussed what would make a successful first season for Bo Nix, but what would make a bad first season for him? Here goes Mike with his predictions-saying the Chiefs will not 3 peat this season. Let’s hope he’s right about that. Finally, Tom Brady talked about how important it is for young QB’s to have a mentor- should Sean Payton bring Drew Brees in during training camp?
