Keep in mind Elway and Manning have major influence. Playing for them or the Jets? I could see that happen

The Patriots dominated because their division was dog-shit for 15-20 years and they just cleaned up. They got that bye, they got HFA and they sailed because of it. When they didn't have a bye and/or HFA, they struggled significantly more. Well the AFC North with an aging Ben, a rudderless Browns team and the Bengals (need I say more?) is clearly on track to be the new AFC East. And if Herbert and an even credible Fields/Lance kind of QB show up in Denver, you have 2 teams w/ quarterbacks who can catch fire in any given week and hang the one L on you that costs you a bye. When Carr, mediocre as he is, is the worst QB in your division, that's a tough division. It's not tough for a team with Mahomes to win it, but it's tough for that team to dominate it in the fashion the Ravens will be able to do in the North after Ben retires/is washed. I don't think it fundamentally alters the regular season greatly, but it changes how clean the Chiefs can get into the playoffs and how easy they can make their route to another SB for the next decade or so. It could mean 2-3-4 more seasons over the next 10 without a bye and without HFA in the AFCCG. I'm not concerned w/ winning 8 more AFC West titles - I wanna figure out how to win 5 more Lombardi's and shut the ****ing Patriot honks up. Dynamic young QBs all over the division will interfere with that.

I can't see any way a team in the league allows itself to be power played like that in the modern NFL. And ultimately it took Elways threat to sign with the Yankees and forego the NFL to get any traction on his demands. It's not impossible I don't suppose, but I'm not gonna give it a moment's concern. Besides, why would any QB choose DENVER of all places to force a power play to? Oh fun, let's force my way to a cold-weather environment in the division w/ the baddest mother****er alive! What could possibly go wrong?

Manning has pretty much abandoned the Colts and aligned himself with Denver. Always going to their practices, helping Siemien and Lock, etc. If Manning and Elway try to talk to him about this I could see it happening. Let’s hope that: A. They win games and get out of the top 3 B. If that does happen, they get absolutely raped by compensation. RGIII trade type of raped

This is true, but the Giants also play the Redskins twice. I wouldn’t be completely shocked to see them steal one against the Cowboys/Eagles either. That division is just awful right now.

Lock out 2-6 weeks. Probably comes back after their bye in first week of November.
Hopefully he comes back and wins them a few games and they decide to roll with him. Either way their plan has to be either Lawrence or Fields and if they aren’t there they better go after that generational LT from Oregon.
