Emmanuel Sanders and Demaryius Thomas on quarterback controversy
Sanders: “That’s not my call. I don’t have anything to say. All I can control is Emmanuel and that’s getting back healthy and getting back on that field and starting to make more plays.”
Thomas: “I have no idea. I am not even going to speak on that one. I’ve been playing with Peyton for so long, and Brock’s been around for so long, so I can’t speak on that one.”
At first glance, these quotes surprised me quite a bit; it almost seemed as if they weren’t ready to stand behind Manning and call him “my quarterback.” But after thinking about it some more, I don’t think that’s the case at all.
I think this entire team, especially the offense, is at a loss for words, and I don’t blame them. Hell, I don’t even know what to say. This whole Manning thing has spiraled out of control so quickly that I’m afraid every reaction is an overreaction.
Like these guys said, I think the best thing the Broncos players can do is worry about themselves and let Kubiak take responsibility over the quarterback situation.
