Nobody on this board wants to see Ben go out this way after a great career here. I was hoping if he came back for his 18th season it would be handled similar to how Elway and Manning went out at the end of their Careers. Strong running game behind a solid OL where they didn’t have to carry their team any longer. The Broncos relied on the experience they had and didn’t make them put the ball up 40 to 50 times per game. Heavy running teams, plenty of play action, control the game clock. And both teams had strong defenses too.
What we’ve done to Ben is put him behind an inexperienced OL that’s getting him beat the hell out of and telling him to throw 50-60 passes per game. The man is scared to death back there and afraid of getting seriously injured so he’s dumping the ball off on the first read. Whose ****** up idea was it to think that this plan could have worked?
Meanwhile goofy Tomlin refuses to even play Watt at FB to help create a seam for Najee.
I feel bad for Ben that he’s been put in this situation. The man is slow, can’t escape the rush eluding tackles like in his younger years, does not have the same accuracy he once had to be throwing the ball as much as he has. He should be behind a solid OL at this stage of his career, not a bunch of green kids, a journeyman who stinks and Chucks who should be on the bench. Shameful’
