    Sure. Seems like AGap is one of the few stating the obvious. Brock had $8M reasons to go to Houston. They probably would have given him $19M a year if Denver would have matched the $72M offer.

    They were totally desperate for a QB who didn't totally suck and willing to pay whatever it took. Which is why Elway should never have let it get to that point where they were bidding against those guys.

    Oz has an agent. An experienced one.

    Im sure they spoke about every aspect of his decision to leave and all the things mentioned have had bearing Im sure.

    If hes a little bitter......glad you left.

    If you dont want to be playing in Peytons shadow........glad you left.

    If you wanted the extra cash.........glad you left.

    If Kubes offense didnt offer you enough options........glad you left, its not like you couldnt express that to Kubiak.

    Thank you for your time here and thank you for letting us know you werent the right one for us.






    In the end, Im glad Brock is in Texas because thats where he belongs.
    IN PATON I TRUST.

    Teams that spent most in FA the past 10 years are: #Dolphins, #Jaguars, #Eagles, #Redskins, #Buccaneers, #Browns got 1 playoff win since '07
    Says it all right there. If we don't make that list, then we are on the right track.

    11% difference in the contracts.

    Brock is an idiot.

    he belongs in Texas? how much bank do you have on the line in all of this? who is the bitter one here?

    I have faith in Elway and Kubes, John in particular, seem like he knows what he's doing, glad he held on to the money, it's probably better spent elsewhere. but hey, what do I know? apparently he was worth it to Houston.

    According to Mike Silver, NFL Network:



    Does NOT say "he was mad because he was benched and that was why he wanted to get out of Denver." And in fact, that's exactly what Brock has now said as well.

    So, who's the blowhard now? You talk big, but you don't bother to do any research.

    Even if Osweiler had loved the Kubiak offense, it would be almost impossible to turn down an extra $8 M over the lifetime of the contract ($72M versus $64M). Houston's offer blew the Denver offer right out of the water.


    That tweet doesn't support your argument.
    *The statements above are my opinions, unless they are links, because then they are links, which wouldn't make them my opinions, and I suppose stats aren't necessarily opinion, but they are certainly presented to support an opinion. Proceed accordingly.

    Probably used Broncos as leverage to get more $$$ in Houston, either way sounds like he was Houston bound.

    By November/December we'll all be laughing at this.

    Elway simply didn't like Brock as much as some people here do. Get over it.

    Desperate teams rarely do well. Alfred Williams yesterday pointed out that the Dolphins have spent more money in FA than any other team. They went 6-10.

    I pointed that out yesterday too, while you were crying because Denver didn't overpay for Brock.

    Weird.

    Dolphins are handicapped because of Tannehill's deal. Under performing QB with that kind of money can kill a team
