Ignoring RED FLAGS? Did Greg Penner just confirm the Broncos RB plans?

Stokley, Evans, and Mark Schlereth react to Greg Penner’s strong public support of J.K. Dobbins — comments that make it clear ownership is fully behind the Broncos’ running back. But the guys can’t ignore the elephant in the room:
Can intangibles really make up for a career full of injuries

Penner praised Dobbins’ leadership, toughness, and impact when healthy… but with Dobbins never finishing a season and the Broncos’ RB room still thin, the guys debate whether Denver is putting too much faith in traits that don’t show up on the field if he can’t stay on it.
