You do know a rookie contract is longer than just 1 year, correct?

5 games isn't a telling sign to a $48 million contract. Maybe $12-$15


But 8 is enough to pay Osweiler $72 million, right?

Osweiler has been in the league 5 years, under the greatest QB ever, and has proven he can take the reigns.


Osweiler has been in the league for 4 years, actually.

And no you have no clue what you're talking about.


Pretty much everything you've said is almost entirely incorrect. On top of that, you've made it painfully obvious that you have no idea how NFL contracts actually work.

AJ played in 2 huge games at the end of the year for the Bengals against the Super Bowl champs and one of 8 best teams in the league and he went

39/62 (63%)
360 yards
3 TD / 0 INT

He more than handled himself. Doesn't mean he's going to be Brett Favre, but you can see why his limited action plus his tools make him a favorable option for a team like Denver who doesn't have an early pick.

The other options were

Chase Daniel
Thad Lewis
Kellen Clemens
Matt Cassel
Matt Schaub
RG3
Ryan Fitzpatrick
Matt Moore
Bruce Gradkowski
Tavaris Jackson
Scott Tolzien
Charlie Whitehurst
Luke McCown
Dan Orlovsky


So, you tell me, would you roll with one of them next year or pull the trigger on a deal for AJM if you think he can be an NFL starter?

As a Texans fan and someone living in Houston, we are not stupid enough to believe he merits that pay increase. It's just the market for a guy like him right now. Pay up or get screwed again with 4 different starting QB's.

Osweiler is going into his 5th year, 4 completed with 21 games played in. I'm not defending Osweiler, really don't give two-shits about him but he has more for scouts and coaches to base a contract of than McCarron. I'm really just crushing your terrible suggestion that Denver should pay AJ McCarron $48million for 4 years. This is why you're on a computer and not next to Elway.
