Broncos pursuing McCarron?

I know many think all teams can spend as much as they want, but they can't so a guy like AJ making $700K to fill a key back up role versus 2 to 3 million matters.

We re getting a ton for him right now in experience and value in case AD goes down!

 
You are wrong. That is Jimmy Garoppolo, and it's not even close.
I'd also consider making Matt Moore the second best backup, though apparently Gase was looking for more Bromance with Cutler.

If Dalton goes down, we're screwed. McCarron won't change that.

Yup.

Why, so McCarron can take the best offensive weapons this team has ever seen... and beat the 5-win Ryan Mallett-led Ravens and 5-win Blaine Gabbert-led 49ers, while losing to anyone that actually resembles a real NFL team?

Yeah, we will look real silly.
