Kiz: Always follow the money. The big bucks suggest the Broncos decided after Super Bowl 50 they could get any Paxton, Case or Joe to play quarterback, so long they paid Miller handsomely. Well, it hasn’t worked out exactly as football operations director John Elway envisioned. Nevertheless, Elway insists the plan remains to lean on Miller and the defense in 2020 until quarterback Drew Lock, rookie receiver Jerry Jeudy and a rebuilt offensive line can gel.
