With no Peyton Manning, no Brock Osweiler, the Broncos are in a frantic search for a starting quarterback.

That said, Denver wide receiver Emmanuel Sanders had a suggestion. An old-school talent from Idaho who could “throw a pigskin a quarter-mile” back in 1982.

That’s right, Uncle Rico from “Napoleon Dynammite.”

Uncle Rico considered real target to fill QB void. Has great experience throwing n or over mountains.

Others chimed in with approval.

However, Denver’s kicker Brandon McManus had a different idea.

I know it is free agency and I KICK footballs for a living but I can definitely THROW the pigskin pretty far

Sanders did not concur.

No Brandon. You don’t get to apply. You have a job. You have one job.
