greeneblitz Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 If we are trying to get a top 1st round QB, why the hell are fans pushing for guys like Bradford, Foles or Bridgewater when all of them would eat up all of our remaining cap space when the rookie should be starting no matter what???? I just don't understand. We need to be looking at late free agency cheap QBs plain and simple. 2
BigBuff423 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 Obviously the money will do the talking as to Denver's approach to the Draft, but it's also possible Elway likes a guy such as Mike White or Lauletta and wants him to ride the pine for a few years while he grows...IF that's the case, it would seem Denver is not going to take a QB in the 1st round, based on the aforementioned numbers of course. Either way, I think this helps the Bills in a variety of ways.

mjt328 Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 The odds have probably increased of Kirk Cousins heading to Minnesota. It always seemed like the Vikings had their pick of the litter. Now that it's 100% clear they aren't bringing Case Keenum back, one has to assume they are close to locking up a deal with Cousins. I don't think Keenum necessarily stops Denver from targeting a Quarterback in the draft. But it may be a signal they are concerned about the QB they want falling to #5. They know that Buffalo (at least) is trading ahead of them and the Jets before this whole thing is over with. Cleveland is definitely taking one. It would be funny if the Jets somehow get screwed in this whole situation.

I suppose they cld still over pay McCarron, but I'd be both shocked and dissapointed if they chose to invest in a FA for those $$ 48 minutes ago, greeneblitz said: If we are trying to get a top 1st round QB, why the hell are fans pushing for guys like Bradford, Foles or Bridgewater when all of them would eat up all of our remaining cap space when the rookie should be starting no matter what????

Cousins is an Upper Midwest guy. I think it's been all about Minnesota from the start. Keenum/Broncos? I'm not seeing that as fulfilling Elway's idea (fantasy?) that his team is just decent QB play away from being a Super Bowl contender, and Josh Allen (still obviously the guy they love) won't be ready as soon as some of the others.

Nope Keenum is their guy. They moved up and took Lynch with the 5th overall and it bombed. New approach.

Well, when we see the deal we'll know how likely it is to take them out of the QB hunt. 15 minutes ago, The Frankish Reich said: Yep. Cousins is an Upper Midwest guy.

If Cousins wants to win, Minn. makes far and away the most sense, as they're the team that was actually contending for the NFC championship. So if Cousins feels he's better than Keenum, which I'm sure he does, "come in and grind" and he's there. Why do you feel Denver has them some Allen love?

I just don't understand. We need to be looking at late free agency cheap QBs plain and simple. Two words: Dashawn Kizer Cleveland threw him to the wolves last year and we saw what happened. Not sure if the kid will ever recover. I doubt McD wants to start the rookie no matter who it is until he's good and ready. It's Rare for a rookie to flourish immediately. That being said if there is no bridge signed than they REALLY believe in one of the Rookies.

Allen went to school in Wyoming, and there's been buzz about him here in Colorado for a couple years now. 2. The size. The arm. The, umm, Elway-esque "mold him in my image" thing that the other guys don't have.

I would have thought that Elway would have learned his lesson from Brock Osweiler and Paxton Lynch, but apparently not.
Magox Posted March 13, 2018 Posted March 13, 2018 No details on what the value of the contract will look like?
