Broncos sign Kingsbury to practice squad

September 6, 2005
DENVER (AP) -- The Denver Broncos signed quarterback Kliff Kingsbury to their practice squad Tuesday, putting the former Texas Tech star in the position held last season by Matt Mauck.

Kingsbury was a sixth-round draft pick by New England in 2003 and spent that whole season on injured reserve. He was on the New Orleans practice squad last year and was waived by the Saints on Aug. 29.

At Texas Tech, he became only the third player in college football history to throw for more than 10,000 career yards.

When the Broncos released Mauck, many thought they would try to bring him back if he cleared waivers. But Mauck pursued other options and wound up on the practice squad of the Tennessee Titans.

The Broncos are carrying only two quarterbacks on their active roster, Jake Plummer and Bradlee Van Pelt.

I told you he wouldn't make the practice squad. He is better than Bouman... which should have been cut in my opinion.

RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

I certainly can't say I'm surprised by this.

RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

Good luck Kingsburry... Jake the second.

RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

I wish him the best.

Other than 1 long strike to Michael Lewis, I didn't see anything out of him that I'm gonna miss.

I wish him luck though.

He cleared waivers. The Saints could have put him on the practice squad, but chose not to.

Bouman showed a little something in that last preseason game. I'm not as worried now.

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

We do some of the dumbest stuff. I did hear Bouman did play a fairly good game in the last preseason game, but as the old saying goes, "Even a blind squirel finds an acorn now and then.

I don't know, maybe the fans should be fired, were crazy anyway. :monkey:

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

In all fairness...Bouman looked pretty good in pre season....
no realy.....he looked very descent......
I wish Kliff luck but....bye...
A-MAC rules.....

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

bad, decent, very decent??? one good game... sounds like inconsistant to me

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

I didn't get to see the last preseason game with all the schizznit going on, but I always thought Kingsbury looked decent. I'd hoped we'd drop Bouman and go with Kliff second, A-Mac third, though I knew that wasn't going to happen.

Bouman just doesn't do it for me. I obviously hope I'm wrong.

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

Yeah... its good to be relaxed in the pocket but he is like taking a nap back there thinking he's got all day... hello you play in New Orleans... lol. Kingsbury to me in the long run is a better choice, I venture to say the only thing Bouman had on him is experiance but i'd challenge that and say Kingsbury has the youth. Amac was a lock at 3, even though bouman and king is better at QB so far... amac we all can agree needs development and then look out.

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

They shoulda dropped bouman, I would have rather kept kingsbury. Lets think about this though: But in 2 years when Plummer is is on the sideline calling games and skipping words along with Aikman and Van Pelt is seen for what he is, not starting material, and Kingsbury is starting for Denver I would rather have A-Mac behind center than Kingsbury. Its gonna be a show. Oh yeah and they will be close to finishing the new "Retractable Roof Superdome". We'll call it the BENSON BOWL

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

I wasn't surprised to see this either. I though Bouman looked pretty good in preseason though. I think you keep Bouman because he is a little more dependable. You keep A-Mac because he has the most potential of the 3 and you drop Klingsbury. He may be a solid #2 or #3 soon, but to say drop Bouman and keep 2 green QB's on the roster is crazy. I can understand why they took a chance on letting Klingsbury go.

Brooks

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

Ok well Kingsbury wouldn't be a starter in my opinion always a back up .... BUT I WILL MISS HIM BUT WE STILL HAVE A-MAC YAYAYAYAYAYAYAYAYA

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

Kliff ain't never gonna beat out Bradlee Van Pelt. I don't understand all the hype on this topic.
He's a 4th string QB.
He likely won't even suit up for Denver this year.
They rarely activate 2 QB's a game.

RE: Re: RE: Kingsbury signed by Denver!!
 

It not hype he looked better mechanically, he had been developing in our system and more aware... than a napping fumbling int qb bouman simple no one saying King is the savior and should be a starter but as a our number 2 he deserved it over Bouman. King is a victum of having to carry amac until he gets a clue and a vet. I think they let the wrong one go... we find ourselves. Someone saw fit to get him signed, now to wait and see. I don't think anyone had or has expectations that he is a starter or will be one day... being a back up is fine, hey he gets a check. Hell Amack would more than likely end up a starter over King but as the number 2 guy right now it should have been king.

The Saints have let some other good QB's get away. We all remember Jake but let us not forget M. Bulger in St. Louis. He has been one of the better QB's in the NFL and we got rid of him too. I hope A Mac proves to be as good as I think he will be.
