So the Eagles GM is the angry ex, but you're surprised by Osweiler?

Imagine if you finally got out of the friend zone with a girl when she's on the rebound, then your girlfriend dropped you for her ex-boyfriend, expecting you to ride the backburner. Meanwhile, you've got this 39 year younger sidepiece flirtin with you, and your ex and her rekindled romance go to the big dance together. Then the dude dies, and now your ex texts you like, "Well, I guess we're going out again now." What do you do?

Yeah but the Broncos thing wasn't personal, it was business. Hell, if anybody should know what it feels like to be the perennial bridesmaid it's Kubiak. Guy spent his entire career watching Elway from the sidelines. Osweiler was riding shotgun for a couple years, sure, but he was about to become the driver of one finely tuned machine, and he traded all that for a whip that will stall out halfway home just like it does every other year.

Elway is all about that trophy. It's his single minded focus and he isn't shy about making changes to get it. Remember, he jettisoned Tim Tebow for Peyton directly after the latter's neck surgery, and directly after Tebow had got them to the AFC championship. People questioned that move too. It worked out.

Osweiler got paid, that's for sure. But as nice as all the extra money might be, when you're a quarterback, you want that glory and that comes with a ring. It's early to predict, but I think Osweiler made a mistake here.
