I mean FFS. You guys have had an Oakland-like offseason. You know the one - where we all point and laugh.

Don't get me wrong you have every reason to laugh. Hell I'M laughing.
And we will always split, that's just how it goes with KC/DEN.

Wow, I've missed a couple of hundred posts.

Is Mecca still smarter than McDaniels and everybody else in football?

Don't know about all that, but in close to 2 hours of TV coverage, I've yet to see anyone say this was a good deal for the Broncos.

At this point, it's pretty safe to say that everyone else in football is smarter than McDaniels.

You have two things:

1) The #2 ranked offense that achieved such a ranking with no running game last year
2) The #30 ranked defense

Your first move is to try and get rid of the most important player on your team, the guy who got that back-less offense to #2, for a guy who is older, more expensive, less talented, less experienced, and locked up for a shorter term.

If we dredged Fredo Corleone out of the lake, his water-bloated corpse would call up McDaniels and say

"Look at this. Look at how stupid you are."

Perhaps. But what if McDaniels, with complete access to all the behind-the-scenes knowledge that we humble denizens of the intraweb can only guess about, had a damn good reason for doing what he did?

That is just as likely as anything you, Mecca or anybody else here are speculating about.

Time will tell. Again, if it ends up being a screw job for Denver and a steal for Chicago, I will be pleased. Hell, I'm the only one here who could potentially end up with a Cutler Bears jersey.

Look back at how incestuous the Parcells-tree guys are with quarterbacks, or just players in general. It tells you all you need to know.

Parcells picks up Testaverde in NYJ, then he follows him to Dallas. Bledsoe also follows him to Dallas. Hell, Ray ****ing Lucas went from the Pats to the Jets following Parcells. Pennington went from the Jets (where he was drafted by Parcells) to being signed by the Parcells-led 'Phins the first time he was cut loose.

Testaverde's corpse last rolled up to Belichick in New England.

Pioli and McDaniels get their own jobs. Where is the first place that they go looking for a QB, when McDaniels has a franchise QB and Pioli has a top 3 pick with two great prospects available?

To New England, for their backup.

It's ****ing ridiculous.

It sure seems ridiculous. But it's not iron-clad - BB traded Drew Bledsoe, who was Parcells only #1 overall pick. So they're not married to it by any means.

And there is that little thing about the fact that they have enough Super Bowl rings to wear them on BOTH hands...
