It could be true in a sense. There are several ways to look at it.
I may prefer to live in a castle instead of a nice house. But if I cannot afford the castle and I bought the best of the nice houses, I can say that I bought my first choice. The castle was never an option.
Or I may like the castle more than the nice house, but not 5 times more. So as between the house for $X and the castle for $5X, I prefer the house. So the house is my first choice.
And, as others have said, what is Elway supposed to say?

They could be telling the truth. I mean, Cousins said he wanted to win most of all and was willing to make sacrifices.

It is likely that the team contacted his agent (somehow) to find out if he was truly interested and maybe what would be the cost.

I do not think it is so far fetched for the Broncos to realize they did not have a real "horse" in the race.

When you really think about it their roster was not as good as the Vikings and they needed to do some moves just to fit Cousins plus their two receivers are 30 and 31. Their back is not as good as the Vikings back and the tight end is not as good as Rudolph.

I could easily see how they would not even bother to make an offer once free agency started and it was known that he was going to make his first visit to Minnesota.

All you're saying here is that Keenum may have been the Broncos' first choice only after they realized they were out of the Cousins race. Yes, I would say that is true. Doesn't make Elway's statement any less laughable.

And if I were the last QB available, he would say the same thing about me...well, maybe not.

And that may well be part of the thinking for Elway. He may prefer Cousins but Cousins says he is not going to make a decision until he takes a visit and that cannot happen until Wednesday at the earliest. Plus, he knows the Vikings have the better team and the Jets have the most money. So Denver is at best in 3d place. Is he going to wait until Thursday to learn that Cousins will sign with the Vikings and risk losing Keenum on Monday or Tuesday to Arizona or somewhere else?
I don't like Elway, but I see no need to rip him for a pretty innocuous comment.

So........Here's a little proof that Elway was doing some damage control

I never made an offer for the Audi A8 I was drooling over last year when shopping for cars. I guess you could say, then, that my 1st choice was the VW that I bought.

did you actually think about truly buying the car, or were you simply dreaming? did you test drive it, did you show it to the wife and see what her thoughts were? did you even talk to the sales associate to see what kind of deal they would make on it?

I dont think looking at something with a little wonder in your eyes means you are really in on something. shit head elway had to know that he had no chance at cousins once the jets and Vikes were in consideration.
