Is it Kyler Murray or bust?Give me Murray or give me a cold one while we wait for 2020. Jasen Vinlove-USA TODAY SportsLet me start by saying I know John Elway will not do what it would probably take to draft Kyler Murray. Heck, I’m fairly confident he’d pass on Murray if the 5’10 200 lb phenom slid to 10. This is the same GM that still clings to this antiquated idea that a shorter quarterback is going to have trouble under center, while ignoring Drew Brees, Russell Wilson, and Baker Mayfield’s success with just that.During the 2018 playoffs Drew Brees threw more touchdowns from under center than in the shotgun.Now that we got that out of the way, let me tell you that I’ve now looked at every draftable quarterback in the 2019 QB class. For this week’s GIF Horse I’m releasing my final board, but the longer I’ve thought about it, the more I’d like to amend what I wrote back in March. The Broncos shouldn’t pass on a 2019 quarterback if (and only if) it’s Murray they’re after. He’s the one signal caller in this class that both A) fits the Scangarello offense and B) could step in as a clear upgrade over Joe Flacco.I’ll admit that up ‘til now it’s been a foregone conclusion for so long that Murray was going first overall that I’d never fully considered him as an option. I’m not so confident in Murray that I’d give up the farm in order to make a deal with the Arizona Cardinals for Murray at one. But if he falls?Murray’s probably still going first overall, but if Arizona takes Quinnen Williams or (especially) Nick Bosa there’s a pretty good chance Lynch is receptive to offers for team’s trying to move up. If Q and Bosa go 1-2, it’s been reported for months that the Jets are looking to grab picks and move back in the first. If that scenario played out, the Broncos should pick up the phone.Murray is the kind of revolutionary dual threat that perfectly blends mobility with arm strength, accuracy, and the ability to preserve his body. The more I’ve studied Murray Drew Lock Jersey Black , the more certain I’ve become that he’d fit the new offense Rich Scangarello is installing. His mobility would create cutback opportunities for Phillip Lindsay and Royce Freeman. The ability to launch the ball on the move or take off with 4.3 speed would create either/or conflicts for opposing defenses, which would open up the intermediate areas of the field for DaeSean Hamilton, Emmanuel Sanders and the Broncos tight ends. Murray’s arm strength is the best in this class and would open up the deep opportunities for Courtland Sutton. Murray would probably push Flacco to the bench in year one and hit Broncos Country harder than an Ed Oliver sack. He also has the highest ceiling of any player in this QB class by a country mile. That isn’t just my eyes talking, but every single analytical site I’ve looked at since draft season began.The NFL Is Drafting Quarterbacks All Wrong | FiveThirtyEightThese advanced stats tell us which 2019 NFL QB prospects will be good - SBNation.comQBASE 2019 | Football OutsidersQB Functional Mobility Model 2019 | Football OutsidersWhile Kyler Murray is a riskier proposition than Baker Mayfield was coming out in 2018, I’d rather chase the guy who passes the eyeball and numbers tests. No other QB does that for me. Quite frankly, I’d rather roll with Flacco and Hogan than overdraft a project QB this year. At least if things crash and burn Denver’s in position to get a real franchise signal caller when the class is littered with them. I doubt John Elway feels the same. All the rumors suggest he is completely locked in. I still think that’s a yuuuuuuuge gamble. One I wouldn’t take. Murray or bust in 2019.He gone.

(AP) — There were a lot of orange-clad Denver fans in the stands in Arizona.They must have loved watching the Broncos beat down the host Cardinals 45-10 Thursday night.“That was unbelievable,” Denver quarterback Case Keenum said afterward. “It felt like a home game there for a lot of it. That was impressive. That was really cool.”After four straight losses, the Broncos (3-4) took control early, returning two interceptions of Josh Rosen’s passes for first-quarter touchdowns. Denver led 21-3 after one quarter and 35-3 at the half, giving a rare breather of a win to embattled coach Vance Joseph.“That’s more about our football team. I’m not concerned about me,” Joseph said. “It’s a good win for our football team. It has been a tough Steve Atwater Jersey , tough two weeks. We had a tough loss on Sunday. We had a short week, so it’s really good for our team to win a game.”The Cardinals (1-6) have lost their first four home games for the first time since 1979, nearly a decade before the franchise moved from St. Louis to the desert.“Definitely an embarrassing effort tonight,” first-year coach Steve Wilks said. “Our fans deserve more than that. We have to perform better than that. Six sacks, three interceptions. It can go on and on. Unacceptable.”Arizona offensive coordinator Mike McCoy had been considered on shaky ground but there’s no indication that any move is imminent.“You guys are going to ask me about changes,” Wilks said. “That’s premature to talk about any changes right now. Everyone is going to be evaluated across the board.”Here are some things to consider from the Broncos’ romp in the desert:MILLER’S PROMISEDenver’s Von Miller had promised the Broncos would kick the Cardinals’ backside and they certainly did.Miller said he did it to boost the confidence of his teammates.“And it worked,” he said.Defensive end Zach Kerr agreed.“It puts an extra fire in us,” he said. “You can feel it all week during the preparation. Everyone was zoned in, locked in. It’s a short week, but nobody complained. Nobody said anything, but we just went out there and worked.”HARRIS’ FLIPEmmanuel Sanders had a big night, throwing a 28-yard touchdown pass and catching a 64-yarder for a score.On the TD catch, he did a front flip over the goal line. He had said he was going to quit with the flips, but couldn’t resist.“That’s what it’s about, man Womens Bradley Chubb Jersey , having fun and playing football,” Sanders said. “That’s how you win games. To catch that pass, I didn’t have to do anything but run straight. It was probably one of the easiest touchdown passes I’ve caught in terms of a deep ball.”ROSEN’S NIGHTArizona rookie quarterback Josh Rosen had a tough night.He threw three interceptions and fumbled the ball away twice. He also was sacked six times.Rosen said he tried to force things and it backfired.“This is kind of an old saying I got in college. ‘Don’t turn a car crash into a fatality,'” Rosen said. “So I think sometimes you just have to make the smart play. I can’t just kind of toss it up there. … I just have to take care of the ball. For the most part, I think that was the biggest lesson I can take from the game.”FITZGERALD’S SCOREIt took seven games, but Larry Fitzgerald finally caught his first touchdown pass of the season.The four-yard pass from Rosen in the third quarter was Arizona’s lone touchdown.It was Fitzgerald’s 111th career touchdown catch, tying him with Tony Gonzalez for seventh on the all-time list.BIG RETURNSThe Broncos had two big early interception returns.On the second play of the game, Derek Wolfe deflected Rosen’s pass and Todd Davis gathered it in, returning it 20 yards for the score.With two minutes left in the quarter, miscommunication between Rosen and receiver J.J. Nelson led to the ball being thrown right to Denver’s Chris Harris Jr., who took it 53 yards for a touchdown.“Yeah, we’re having a good time out there,” Davis said. “When everything is clicking like that, it really becomes fun and you really enjoy the game of football.”
