You are aware Chad Henne and numerous other worse QBs are in the NFL right now

Where is the evidence to suggest he was good enough to start? At least at his asking price or current going rate at that time? He had fallen to a 3 - 16 starter after Harbaugh was ran out of town. His completion percentage, big plays and overall ability swan dived after 2014.

He was maybe good enough to start for two or three teams at the time. And that's not saying much in the NFL. And chances are, the teams he could start for (i.e our team and Cleveland) probably wouldn't have enough talent overall to mask his weaknesses.

"That's not how things work in the NFL". Oh, so, you're an expert now? Riiiiiiight. Got it mate. Got it....

Again, back to the whole AAF thing, it was just reported yesterday. So, you got me on that one. But other than that? Why do you have such a hard on for the guy? He had fallen off tremendously after 2014 as a quality starting QB. Denver gave him a chance to resurrect himself AND they were willing to take a stand WITH him and all of the media circus BS he was fixing to bring along with him. 

So.. cry me a [BLEEP] river man that would make Italy's city of Venice blush with envy. 

Jesus...

You thought he was offered a contract by Elway post protest which would disprove his blackballing case..that was wildly incorrect so I said you don't understand the situation.   

Don't confuse "good enough to start" with some reverence of skill. We see terrible QBs start every year and we see terrible QBs stay as backups every year. That's pretty much the entire crux of the Kap issue, that even if you don't rare him highly, it's still pretty clear he's good enough to make a roster. 

Yeah that is how things work. QBs don't generally take massive paycuts in trades to other teams they might not wanna go to.  

Again, Denver offered the trade prior to the protests, not after them.
