Yeah, Denver needs to throw buckets of cash at Phillips this offseason. Pay him like a star QB if needed. He’s worth it as a DC. Not sure what to do with the offense. Throw buckets of cash at Peyton to come back as OC?
Problem is, ol' Wade is having a pretty good time turning the Rams into a legit football team (what a difference a year makes!). Why would he want to come back to a team that let him twist in the wind last spring? That had better be a HEAP of money.
...and even then, it doesn't fix the fundamental problem- the offense sucks, has sucked for a couple of years now, and there's nothing resembling a QB on the roster- and it's increasingly clear the guy drafting has no idea how to go about selecting one (ironically enough). Even THEN, if you put Peyton in his mid-2000s prime in that offense, he's going to eat grass every other play, because the offensive line is just that- offensively bad.
On a totally unrelated note, watching last nights' game, Julio Jones isn't human. No mere mortal could make some of those sideline grabs.
