Luke is not a pass rusher, Pass rushers normally make the most money on defense.

I know, I just mean for a defensive player. Luke is the best LB in football, it's a good deal.

Everyone discredits how important Peyton presence was, esp in the platoffs. The team believed in him, he could analyze everything. He had been there before. Just having Peyton made Denver play at a higher level. Yes Peytons athletic ability was gone, his leadership was not. Brock got to learn behind Peyton. So if Denver thinks they are fine with the Sanchise or a rookie qb, they will be in for a shock this year.

That is garbage. Peyton had a 56 quarterback rating and they had a total 5 first downs through the air all day. They went 1 for 13 on third down. We handed them 14 points due to defensive turnovers.  He didn't even play as well as Cam did. Peyton retired because he had nothing left and knew they were handed that game. Frankly as bad as we played.we were still in the game because their offense sucked plain and simple

I would hate paying defensive players 100 mill, but Elway had to do it. This was a move to save the locker room, not paying Miller would have left a bad taste on the rest of the players.

He single-handedly won Denver a SB.  Evidently a SB is worth $70MM guaranteed.  Good for him for holding out.  But at that point, if I'm Denver, I let him walk.

What happens exactly if a player doesn't sign his franchise tender today nor a long term deal?

With no QB, they needed him.  Unless you think Mark Sanchez will be the answer.  God help us if Remmers is the starter again vs Von.

They won the Superbowl with the shell of a quarterback. It was the defense that won the the game not offense.

If the refs were not pushing Carolina back every first and 10 Denver would have never been able to pass rush like they did. Nerves and refs beat us.

While I am not a conspiracy theorist in the NFL Denver surely got away with murder on defense all game long. Talib mugged people all day long and not calling that offsides penalty on the missed field goal was almost criminal. But I will stop there as I don't want to relive that crap again. It was traumatic enough watching it in person.....

I'm assuming this means a long term deal isn't possible after today and the options are to play on the tag or not at all?

i think that's pretty much it, yeah

they're not a free agent, they're not under contract, they're basically taking an unpaid vacation.

They have a ring but Manning got them that. 70mill and I can promise Denver will be in the cellar this year. It's stupid to give that much to a guy when you have no QB. 

Manning got them that ring? 

Stupidest crap I've read on here this year.

If we allow Von Miller to beat us in the season opener, I might start to climb back on the "Fire Shula" bandwagon.  

To be clear: I'm not saying if we lose, I'm saying if we allow Von Miller to basically take over the game like he did in the SB. Granted, there were some problems with the execution of the help we game-planned for Remmers (*cough* Tolbert *cough*) but there were also times when we left our RT on an island with the best speed edge rusher in the game while dropping back and waiting for receivers to get open on slow developing routes in press-man coverage...

Not taking any credit away from the Broncos defense, but I feel like we played right into their hands. I think we panicked and abandoned the run game too early in favor of trying to make a splash play. Neutralizing an elite edge rusher like Miller is easier said than done and requires patience. You start the game by running the ball at him to take the wind out of his sails, then you force him to chase plays to the other side of the field and when you think you've slowed him down a little you take a shot. It's like throwing body blows in a boxing match for the first 9 rounds, hoping to setup a knockout punch in the 10th. 

I haven't forgotten about being the # 1 scoring offense under Shula and I'm a big fan of continuity, but now that we've had the Von Miller experience I'm going to be really disappointed if we let him do it again.
