Dre’Mont Jones Denver Broncos Jersey , Colo. (AP)Justin Simmons’ breakout season is over because of a sprained left ankle he sustained while celebrating a rare big play by the Denver Broncos in their first victory in two months. The Broncos placed Simmons on injured reserve Wednesday. He was injured in Denver’s 23-0 win over the Jets on Sunday, their first win in 70 days. Simmons jumped to body bump teammate Brandon Marshall following the linebacker’s strip-sack of Josh McCown that resulted in a takeaway at the Jets 20-yard line in the first quarter. Simmons landed awkwardly when he came down on Marshall’s right foot and had to leave the game. He was replaced by fellow second-year safety Will Parks. Coach Vance Joseph called the injury fluky, saying, ”What do you say to Justin? Don’t celebrate? Don’t have fun?” Simmons had hoped to miss just one game, Thursday night’s visit to Indianapolis. After showing flashes as a rookie, Simmons supplanted T.J. Ward as Denver’s starting strong safety this summer and ranked third on the team with 63 tackles. He also had a sack, five pass breakups and two interceptions, including a pick-6. — So how ugly was the Broncos performance against the Raiders? Here are 3 of the more memorable conversations I’ve had during or after the game:Losing isn’t that bad since draft positionThis was a debate a bunch of the Mile High Report crew got into during halftime after Brandon McManus missed another long field goal. The game was 17-0 Raiders but didn’t look that close, if I’m being honest.There was three arguments being made. 1. It’s the Raiders, screw draft position its a lottery ticket at best regardless. 2. Just lose, baby.3. I’m just here so I won’t get fined. How it goes, it goes.These debates turned into a QB discussion, which got me thinking that its probably time I finally start digging into the 2019 QB crop to see what’s really out there. Normally I put off college scouting until after the season’s over, but its been over for a couple weeks now in all reality. Would this team be better if they had kept Trevor Siemian? I started this, but I swear I wasn’t trolling. Right after Keenum threw his first pick I thought about that huge cap number and wondered if $20 million would have been better spent on keeping Aqib Talib or signing a safety to play over Darian Stewart (like Eric Reid who’s playing for less than $1.5 million). Easy to say what if now and Keenum has been markedly better than Siemian, but 20 times better is a bit of a stretch at best.You don’t need to pay franchise money to see a guy throw into triple coverage. Luckily the Keenum deal only runs for one more season and it’s beyond likely that the veteran will serve as little more than a bridge to a rookie next year. There’s been talk of Flacco out there but I can’t see Elway eating $10 million to give another $15 M+ to a QB who’s average at best. Still, 15 touchdowns to 12 interceptions and two 30-year old Hall of Fame talents may push the Duke to make a big move for a signal caller. Woof. Will Elway can Joseph on Christmas? I put the odds at 10% Dre’Mont Jones Denver Broncos Jersey , but that could be optimistic considering the short week. So I figured I’d ask Broncos Country: how long does he have after Denver gets curb stomped by the Chargers next week?Your Broncos LinksIf you want a good laugh today, check out this thread:Denver Broncos secure first back-to-back losing season since 1971 - Mile High ReportDenver Broncos: 5 things learned in 27-14 loss to the Oakland Raiders - Mile High ReportBroncos: Futures of Vance Joseph, Case Keenum in peril after Raiders loss | SI.comDwayne Harris scores on amazing 99-yard punt return - NFL.comDenver Broncos 2 winners, 7 losers in historic loss to Oakland Raiders - Mile High ReportArguably the biggest loser of the game?
