Anyone, and I mean anyone, who favors selling the future of the Broncos down the river to get quarterback Aaron Rodgers is an idiot that has no clue whatsoever. None.

Kiz: The staff here at Kickin’ It Headquarters was willing to pick up Rodgers at Denver International Airport if Broncos general manager George Paton found a way to pry him from Green Bay prior to this season. But we’ve moved on. The Packers have made the mistake of trying to milk one more season out of Rodgers. That’s their problem. Rodgers celebrates his 38th birthday in December. John Elway retired at age 38. Peyton Manning was done before his 40th birthday. Yes, Tom Brady might play until he’s 50, but Rodgers isn’t Brady. If the Packers are looking for first-round draft picks in return for Rodgers in 2022, it would be wise for Paton to tell Green Bay to look elsewhere for a trade partner.
Seriously? You are taking Rodgers if offered, right? Please say one amazing week by Teddy Bridgewater doesn’t prove anything. Remember when people wanted to give Trevor Siemian a deal after the Broncos started 4-0 in 2016?
Nick, skeptical by nature
Kiz: I never thought for one second thought Siemian was the long-term answer. All Bridgewater has proven to me is he’s a significantly superior quarterback than Siemian.
You totally questioned the Bridgewater signing and now everybody gets a free seat on the Broncos’ bandwagon, except for you, Kiz! He was totally Teddy Icewater with his performance in the victory against the New York Giants. Given more time to work with his receivers, he’s only going to get better. His defense will become loyalists in the same way they were for Manning and Jake Plummer. I see a team on the verge of something big!
James, rolling with Teddy B
Kiz: Well, I did doubt Bridgewater as a quarterback who can lead the Broncos to Super Bowl contention. (And I still do.) But question his signing? That would be difficult, because Denver traded for Bridgewater. Don’t let facts get in the way of your good rant, though. What I like best about Bridgewater is he’s comfortable enough in his own skin to not be unnerved by the playing QB in the city that Elway built. That makes him much more likely to succeed in Denver than Case Keenum.
Hey, Mark Kiszla, we would love to get 10 minutes of your time to hop on the radio with us here in Jacksonville and discuss Jaguars coach Urban Meyer. Can you lend us 10 minutes of your time?
Ryan, calls himself “Hack”
Kiz: My humble apologies, but I don’t do Us vs Them radio schtick with a “Hack” on a station beholden to the hometown team.
And today’s parting shot wonders why CSU football coach Steve Addazio still has a job.
It should have been Colorado State, not the University of Southern California, firing their head football coach. And make sure Rams athletic director Joe Parker goes, too. Parker is like a politician. He’s really good at spending other people’s money, with nothing required in return.
John, miffed
