I would've thought Elway would've just done this to begin with. I mean, you're getting chicken scratch in return so what does it really matter? I freakin' hate The Golden Calf of Bristol and I'd like to see him be able to go where he wants after getting the shaft in Denver.

For the second time Wednesday, Denver has agreed to trade The Golden Calf of Bristol and a 2012 seventh-round draft pick to the New York Jets for a fourth- and sixth-round pick in April's draft.

The deal was halted earlier due to language in The Golden Calf of Bristol's contract relating to prepaid bonuses and salary, but the Jets have agreed to pay half of the $5 million in compensation back to Denver to finish the trade, a league source told ESPN NFL Insider Adam Schefter.

I really have no idea why The Golden Calf of Bristol would want to go to NYJ over the chance to play where he'd be loved by the fans unconditionally and have a much easier path to the starting job in his hometown?

Then again, as I mentioned earlier... I think Ryan may have spoken with The Golden Calf of Bristol and I've got a feeling that he's let him know how much they would like him there. Ryan is a very loyal guy, obviously passionate, and he loves tough guys and winners. I'm guessing that gave NY the edge.

Easy. Gabbert is the Jags starting QB and they are going to stick with him and develop him. The Golden Calf of Bristol knows Sanchez might be the only other QB in the league that sucks worse than himself.

Without letting our opposite opinions on him skew this convo, and objectively speaking, I think it would be much easier to supplant a horrible sophomore QB versus a mediocre QB who was at the helm of two teams that made it to the AFCCG and whom just signed a huge extension.

      I don't think it's necessarily selfless to make that trade. I think it's all in how you plan and if you can objectively view the player. You know you're going to have a new coach and be taking a QB in the draft. Whether or not he wanted to admit it, we were going to be beginning a rebuild with a new offense and new defense. Depending on the coach, Burns may not have even been a good fit for the scheme that coach wanted to run.  So, if you're not 1st, you're going to need to trade up. Burns likely is going to want in the 30m per year range. While an effective pass rusher, he was never a complete DE. He wasn't a JJ, TJ, Bosa, or Garrett. He was more Reddick, and while good, never going to be in that top tier contract caliber.  So the question becomes, knowing that you need a QB to go with a new coach, is it better to have your  23, 24 and 25' 1sts  extra 24 and 25 1sts an extra 23'2nd  and 30m aav of future contract cap space to get a QB and edge rusher  Or your 23, 24 and 25 1sts and a good, but not elite DE on an elite tier contract.  6 picks and available 30m AAV in cap space vs 3 picks and 0 extra cap space to get a QB and a good, not great, DE.  To me that is a simple answer and frankly one that could potentially save my job. You have to have vision and be able to recognize value. Fitts over valued Burns like many fans did. I think ultimately what cost him his job was 3 years of not being able to value players correctly. We saw it twice in the draft in 2 separate years when he panicked and couldn't read the draft. DJ Johnson and Matt Corral picks specifically come to mind.  I don't think it was about being selfless as much as being a strategist. Neither Rhule nor Fitts never struck me as very strategic guys. I think they were more let's throw poo at the wall and see what sticks. Unfortunately for the fans, none of it stuck, but it still all stunk.

      The issue is the formula is secret, and it incorporates runs... So... Yup, it does. Same with PFF (which isn't quite as secret). But when it doesn't - like on Sunday - it's often to hilarious results. PFF is more reliable I think at matching my 'eye' test.
