Vance Joseph must’ve looked taller during the interview than what we remembered.
“In our locker room, he’s on Peyton Manning’s level,” the Broncos’ new defensive coordinator once opined when asked about quarterback Trevor Siemian in September 2017.
“He’s going to have a good year for us. So that’s how the locker room feels about Trevor. (He’s) on the same level, if not above Peyton.”
Spoiler alert: He did not. And he was not.
Too soon.
Too soon, Sean Payton. Broncos Country only just started healing from the scars left by Nathaniel Hackett, and you bring VJ, who’d steered the Broncos to an 11-21 record as head coach from 2017-18, back into the picture?
