Broncos stock watch entering 49er week
It’s a reunion. Sort of. Kyle Terada-USA TODAY SportsThere aren’t a lot of things that matter less than preseason stats. Coaching staffs run stripped down versions of their scheme in order to evaluate players on a trait by trait basis across four games. The Broncos’ Vic Fangio even suggested they’ll run plays into the teeth of an opponent rather than adjust in order to see how players handle it.
All this to say, I’m not especially concerned with Paxton Lynch completing 11-of-15 for 109 yards and one passing TD. I care even less that he ran 4 times for 39 yards and another score. Especially when you stop to consider that 73 of those passing yards came on three plays.
