The Broncos futility continues
I didn't see this posted yesterday.
http://sports.espn.go.com/nfl/traini...ohn&id=4418733 Broncos in tough spot with Marshall If you thought Josh McDaniels was in a tough spot with the Jay Cutler trade, don't look now. The Brandon Marshall situation might be worse. The trust between Marshall and the Broncos has been broken on both sides. Marshall doesn't trust the trainers; he doesn't trust the organization. On the flip side, the Broncos don't trust him enough to offer him a contract extension. Trading him would set more precedents for players who might want to leave the Broncos. What the Broncos need is a face-saving angel, a team willing to trade the equivalent of a No. 1 and No. 4 pick to resolve this situation. Watching the Broncos play the Seahawks on Saturday night, I think the Broncos can get by with three- and four-receiver sets that feature Eddie Royal, Jabar Gaffney, Brandon Stokley and Chad Jackson. That group of receivers might not be tall, but it's solid enough for Kyle Orton, who is going to operate a quick passing offense out of three- and five-step drops. The problem facing the Broncos is that because their defense is suspect, they probably are going to play a lot of shootouts. Orton is good, but I don't see him winning three games in which the defense surrendered 30 or more points, as Cutler did last season. Plus, starting in Week 4, the Broncos face an eight-game stretch in which it's going to be hard to win many games. From Oct. 4 to Nov. 26, they face Dallas, New England, San Diego, Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Washington, San Diego and the Giants. They could lose all eight. Getting value for Marshall, who is in the final year of his contract, is the wise thing to do if McDaniels is going to build the Broncos back into a playoff team. Marshall would be a great fit on the Ravens or the Jets. If neither team -- or another suitor -- offers a No. 1 and a No. 4, the Broncos will have to keep him, even though his attitude might cause his productivity to drop.

No DB dropped an INT from Orton in the Seattle game. Scheffler broke up a bad pass and wound up catching it.

We got Kyle Orton, who fits perfectly into what Josh McDaniels wants to do... Who should have NO PROBLEM putting up a better QB Rating than the guy he replaced. That trade also let us get Knowshon Moreno, who has been compared to LaDanian Tomlinson by a bunch of people, and was the best RB in the entire draft. We also got Robert Ayers, who Mike Mayock said would be the best defensive player taken in the draft. And we got Alphonso Smith, the best cover corner in the draft, who would have been a top 10 pick if he was 2 inches taller. I love the trade. We are better team because of that trade. |

And if I'm not mistaken, your team has signed the greatest head coach in the NFL! The way he "subs and does things" according to one of your local radio contributors, will shock and revolutionize the NFL! Despite being 32 years old and unable to control a locker room, Josh McDaniels will rise above scrutiny and bestow his football master mind unto YOUR franchise, you lucky dog you! Why, that could the first time in the history of NFL offseason this feat has been accomplished! No mistakes made! Every move seemingly perfect! You're destined for the Super Bowl young lad! From the mountain tops, tell the fans everything is okay! Tell Denver! Tell the WORLD! And now you're on ignore. Good luck this coming season. |

I don't think I've read anything from you that didn't tow the company line. I don't care who you are, Chiefs fan or Donkey lover, if you can't make objective decisions without sucking up to the organization, then you aren't exhibiting anything worth reading. |

I wonder it Orton had thrown that int to Ed Reed and he ran it back for a TD would you guys still say that it was better than taking a sack or throwing it away and turning it over on downs?

I also wonder if Jabar Gaffney or Brandon Stokely would have caught that pass, what throw would Chief fans rip Orton for?

I am. If he's gonna attempt it, at least make it good. I can throw much better leftie than that! And no, I'm not a leftie. Terrible execution.
