The thing is what's the going rate for an nfl starter? It's either extremely low on a rookie deal or its 15 million plus.
Fitz has the right idea IMO, he was extremely good last year
but he's 33 and his track record overall is very... underwhelming. we've seen people try to pickup QBs before based on one good year, and it hasn't worked out well (cassel, foles). they'd also be bringing him in to compete, not to be the locked #1.

I understand it from both sides.surely Fitz feels like he can cash in...and with the money being tossed around..it generally seems like a legit negotiation because he is clearly the best qb in free agency right now. The draft class, none of those guys are ready to lead a team into the playoffs, most likely to a 10 loss season.
I think Fitz could easily lead the Broncos into the playoffs

Denver is really showing some fiscal responsibility. However when it comes to your QB, that's the one position where you might have to overpay. Trading for Sanchez? Possibly trying to trade for Kap? Low balling Fitz? Guess Elway doesn't think much of Griffin. They went from SB contenders to a 7 or 8 win team.

I agree, Fitz is clearly the best guy out there. A middle of the pack starter last year just hit the market and Denver is still low balling. Sanchez is fucking terrible and Denver gave up a draft pick for that scrub.

More like the Giants defense beat the Pats offense, and the Giants offense did just enough not to lose the game.
Yeah, that's why Eli got mvp on both of their SB wins against NE.

Because he definitely deserved either one

How , if you look at the loss's the Denver D is taking and think about how dominant they were even with keeping Von Miller I can't see it.The Broncos still owe a roster bonus to Ware who knows if they are willing to pay that..

Core of that defense is still there and they still have a top cordinator. I'm not concerned about the defense, they will be fine.
