Well, Clady is the last of the purely Shanahan Talent left on the Broncos roster, he was a Shanny "guy", with his injury the Broncos could need a Left Tackle..badly. Andrew Gardner or Nate Garner anyone? Zane Beadles at LT will ensure a Tebow sighting by about week 6 or so.
Well, TBH BDH, we are stacked on the Oline, it would not be a bad time to maybe trade a player or two to rack up some draft choices and clear room for new developmental players. Granted, Garner at LT would be a risk but he has been here two seasons and has played well, and Andrew Gardner was a top flight LT at GT until they switched from Chan Gailey's pass happy offense to Johnson's triple option. Then look at DThomas and J Smiley, we are packed as even RW rushed for 1,200 yds behind two guys..who may not start or even be on the team this year.
You never like to see great players go down. Especially this time of year. To be honest, unless they'd offered something obscene I'm not interested in trading Nate Garner. The guy is too versatile, too adaptable and too quick a study for me to give him up. If he doesn't start (and he started 12 games last year), he's likely still the top backup at four positions. He's the Jim Jensen of the offensive line.
Wow, when this first happened it seemed like a small concern, but Clady could easily miss the majority of the season.
