Opinion | 'If nothing else, at least this puts a wrap on the whole Bradley Chubb-vs.-Josh Allen debate over that first-round pick in 2018, one of John Elway’s greatest — if not the greatest — swings and misses as a talent evaluator.'
The Broncos failed Bradley Chubb, not the other way ‘round.which ended with his trade Tuesday to the Miami DolphinsWhich is a shame, because who he was, when healthy, was hell on wheels. Twenty-six sacks in 49 Broncos appearances, a rate of 0.53 per game, a pace that averages out to nine QB takedowns over a 17-game regular season.
“You know, the draft value received was significant,” Broncos general manager George Paton explained late Tuesday afternoon. “We just felt it was too good to pass up at the end of the day.” Paton came back from London on Monday with a roster deep at outside linebacker and uncomfortably thin just about everywhere else. He tried to frame the deal not so much as an indictment of Chubb, or of a roster that’s vastly andthrough the softest part of its schedule, but as a vote of confidence in Randy Gregory, Nik Bonitto and Baron Browning, the outside linebackers who remain.
How this roster was never “one QB away” from a division title. Elway left a trail of the flotsam of underachievement in his wake, from offensive line to wide receiver and tight end, although with the latter, rookie Greg Dulcich — a Paton draft pick — keeps a little hope alive.
