Kirk Cousins is not Peyton Manning and his price tag will weigh the Broncos down. You’re already rumored to get rid of Talib and Wolfe as well which will only make your defense weaker.

If Wolfe goes it because he is given an Injury settlement, he was vastly underpaid his deal is team friendly.
I don't disagree about John but he was a generational player, none of the QB's in this years class are slam dunks and I heard a couple guys say on ESPN NFL Insiders that they are probably over rated when compared to other draft classes.
Cousin's hasn't had the teams around him to win with that Manning or Brady had. This years SB proved that you need a complete team to win a SB and not just one guy. Brady out played Foles stat wise and still lost. It is the team that counts. John has managed big cap hits before going to 2 SB's with the highest paid QB at the time of his signing.
I would be happy if Cousin's came in and threw for over 4k yards and threw twice as many TD's as INT's. Even without Talib who is due to slip any year now due to age. Harris and Roby are still a very good CB team. I hate PFF rankings but Harris is one of their top ranked CB's.
I just hope our coaching staff learns how to win the NFL. They didn't have a QB last year but they had some head scratchers. No identity on O despite the talk of being run oriented then suddenly playing a bunch of zone during a losing streak when the D is built to be Man. Hopefully all the guys they lost to the IR come back and contribute and stay healthy and that makes a difference.
