Can somebody kick you out of Denver? You are a complete moron. Clearly John Elway has said Joe Flacco is the Broncos’ starting quarterback. And what are the odds any first-round quarterback turns your team around in the very first year? If itap not over 50 percent, I’m cool that rookie Drew Lock waits his turn. So sit down, shut up and eat your ice cream, Kiz.
Kevin, his way or highway
Kiz: Lock isn’t a patient dude. Not certain his make-up is suited to standing, clapping and hollering attaboys. I’m betting Lock will compete hard to be starter from Day 1. And thatap a good thing. Unless Broncos are playoff-bound, Lock will start at least one game in 2019. By the way: My favorite ice cream flavor is pistachio. In a cup. Two scoops. Please. And thanks.
Michael Porter Jr or Lock? Which Missouri alum will be a better pro in Denver?
Y.M., asks hard questions
Kiz: Porter brings more athletic skills to the basketball court than Lock does to a football huddle. But the Porter basketball family seems cursed by poor health, while Lock is young and unbroken. So my official answer is: I dunno. Thatap my cop-out. Sticking to it.
I didn’t get when you all wrote last summer what a great deal the Nuggets made in signing Will Barton to a four-year, $53 million contract. This team needed a shot-blocker then and still needs one now. Trading Barton wouldn’t get a rim-protector. Letting forward Paul Millsap go might.
Holland, busting on Barton
Kiz: The NBA playoffs hold up a harsh mirror to a team’s flaws. Make any excuse you want, but Barton and Millsap have punched below their salary weight in the playoffs.
The Nuggets’ real problem in the playoffs is “Silent Stan” Kroenke not appreciating fans who have supported his (bad) product for years. Give the kids a T-shirt, and stop passing out the dumb bracelets at games. I don’t even wear the shirts, but itap the principal of the matter. I’ve been a season-ticket holder for 13 years and see other NBA teams going all out for their fans.
F.E., basketball fashionista
Kiz: The staff here at Kickin’ Headquarters isn’t very sharp (as you well know). But if we understand your complaint correctly, what you desire is for Nuggets ownership to give fans a shirt?
The Rapids have had worse teams. Way worse. This midfield/forward combination should not be winless through 10 games.
Chris, never saw storm coming
Kiz: Well, Anthony Hudson had to go. Not sure players totally bought soccer ideas of a coach from a rugby country. Glad to see Conor Casey, a proud alum of Denver South High, get his shot as coach. The only problem? Casey might still be a better player than most guys on this sorry roster.
And today’s parting shot is a response to seeing the scruffy Size 18 work boots that new Broncos offensive lineman Dalton Risner wore to team headquarters after being drafted.
Hey, somebody should hook this man up. Risner needs to be the first NFL player with a boot deal.
Josh, riding Kansas plains
