ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — For the first time since Super Bowl 50, John Elway heads into an offseason not looking to change his head coach, starting quarterback or locker room chemistry. Elway said Monday that rookie Drew Lock showed enough in his five-week audition to earn the nod as the Denver Broncos’ starting QB […]
ENGLEWOOD, Colo. (AP) — John Elway got the quarterback he wanted all along, but without the pressure that would have come with Drew Lock being a first-round pick. “I’m hoping it allows us to let him grow, and the expectations are not as high as they would be with a top-10 pick,” […]

CENTENNIAL, Colo.

DENVER (AP) — Case Keenum already has this fourth-quarter comeback thing down pat. Nail-biters are almost a prerequisite for a quarterback in Denver, where John Elway set the standard with 31 fourth-quarter comebacks and Peyton Manning added 11 of his league-best 43 while wearing navy and orange. Keenum, the architect […]
*I will post my columns from Predominantly Orange from time-to-time. This is an opportunity I have been given from the Fansided Network to share my talents in another way. Judging by how the Denver Broncos drafted last April, perhaps they know young quarterback Chad Kelly is the guy they need. […]
