Make the Joker a Broncos QB — no joke
The next Broncos quarterback already resides in Colorado — Nikola Jokić. Jokić is a great passer, he always finds the open man. He understands passing lanes, and is a team player. He’s tall, so he can see over the line. Jokić makes his teammates better. Quarterbacks need to be leaders; Jokić is a leader. It’s true that he is slow, but he is big and would be hard to bring down.
After Jokić wins his third NBA MVP, second championship, and second playoff MVP, he will be looking for a new challenge: Denver Broncos quarterback. I can’t think of anyone better.

No matter the combo, coach and QB must mesh
I do not understand the blather about what the Broncos should do at QB. It is plain to me based on their past experience with coach/QB. The QB has to be compatible with the coach or vice versa.
Dan Reeves was a great coach, but he and Elway did not mesh. Good, but no cigar (Super Bowl). Brought in a coach that could work with John and bam, Super Bowls. You have your coach, pick the best one out there that Sean can work with, or fire Sean and start over with best QB available.

The hopeful split on Ukraine
Re: “Aid for Ukraine, Israel advances,” April 20 news story
So most Republicans and Democrats in the house voted for aid to Ukraine, Israel and Taiwan. The Republican ‘Freedom Caucus’ members voted against as did some fringe Democrats.
Is this, dare I say it, an evolving of the center? Of members from both sides putting the country ahead of their party?
Hopefully, we will see more of this.

Keep the trains drug free
Every time I ride the train is a scary experience for me and other passengers, because of the dozen drug users that are commonly our companions. They keep bothering passengers and the last time I rode there was fighting onboard.
I feel like drugs are out of control on Denver trains. How is it that those poor souls are able to get high so much? Why aren’t the authorities doing something about this? Maybe it’s time to solve the issue for good and keep them away from the train so that passengers can feel safe.
