The difference is the Broncos haven't had the opportunity to invest a premium pick at the position. Elway has also stepped down from G.M duties. They hired George Paton. Who was on the bears staff back in the day. Then went to work with Rick Speilman.
Bears cut him days ago publicly then tried to trade him when they realized he actually had value. Maybe if this wasn't so thoroughly bungled but no way does this result in a tampering investigation.
The Bears didn’t officially cut him until 3:30 or some shit today. A half hour later he’s signed with another team. Rules are rules even if Pace bungled the **** out of it.
Yeah Speilman and Paton worked together in chicago and when Rick went to Miami Paton followed. Ballard was the next Generation. Bears haven't had any shortage of great scouts move on to do bigger things.
Paton and Speilman drafted 22 probowl players together. Those guys can draft thier asses off. We'll see what happens. There are no guarantees at the quarterback position regardless of who's drafting.
I was hoping / dreaming Pace would get shit canned and they'd hire Paton..
And the Vikings, with Paton, were always aggressive in their search for a QB. Big FA signings (Cousins, Favre), trades (Bradford) and draft (Ponder/Jackson). My Denver tea leaves tell me Paton is going to stand pat with Lock one more year and go all-in next year. Denver gave him a 7 year deal and I believe part of the reason the length was so long was because Elway didn't want Paton to give up on his final draft pick in Lock too early.

I'm good with **** pace but this side of the business is $ and not loyalty. Remember that Fuller almost became a Packer. had that WR taken the deal, Pace may have pulled the tag on AR and actually save a few more bucks. There a reason that AR signed the thing on the next day.
They threw money away with the K.Fuller signing cause they didn't need him. Don't they also have Chris Harris and Bryce Callahan or are they hurt?
