Schlereth and Evans 104.3 The Fan

Mike and Mark are reacting to everything we heard yesterday in a day jam packed with important press conferences. We hear from Sean Payton, Michael Malone, Landeskog, Calvin Booth and Chris McFarland. Malone talks about the difficulty of repeating- Stink can attest to that. Payton speaks on starting rookie QB’s, and Mike and Mark question if the Avs should consider letting Gabe go.

Sean Payton spoke yesterday on the competition going on in the QB room right now. Is it still reasonable to assume Bo Nix will be our week 1 starter? Did Malone really run his team into the ground this season? Is burnout to blame here? Finally, after hearing from Gabe and MacFarland, is it safe to say Val will definitely be on the squad next season?

Michael Malone spoke yesterday about the difficult balance between chasing another championship and developing young players. Are he and Calvin Booth on different pages? And is Booth in the wrong for not taking advantage of a championship window? Mike and Mark debate with the listeners what the Avs should do about Val before asking: Did the Broncos actually end up with the #1 pick?

Mike and Stink come up with a ranking system for the top 6 QB out of the draft this year. Who will wind up being a super star, great starter, good and straight bust. Then, our own Cecil Lammey joins the show fresh off Broncos OTA’s in high spirits after seeing great stuff out of Bo Nix. Cecil spills the beans before Stink comes up with Bo Nix’s very own song.

It’s a huge press conference day here in Denver as Josh Kroenke, Calvin Booth and Michael Malone are set to hit the podium on the Nuggets side and for the Avs, we’ll hear from Chris MacFarland and Gabe Landeskog. What are Mike and Mark hoping to hear from them? Jokic makes first team All-NBA- does the lack of other award winners around him help or hurt his case?

Peyton Manning was honored last night and spoke after the ceremony on all things Broncos. Particularly, how important it is for rookie QB’s to start in their first year. Is his influence more reason to believe Bo Nix will be our week 1 starter? Speaking of week 1, will Courtland Sutton be around for that?
