Wow, I guess there's quite a bit you don't understand about the NFL.

Up until this point, I thought it was just Knowmo, but maybe it's all Broncos fans.

We went 13-3 with Manny starting 11 games last year... Yeah, I'm pretty sure we'll be just fine.

Because playing center is exactly like playing guard

It'll be an adjustment for Man Ram, but I think he'll be able to handle it and do a fine job.

So, do Saturday and Sunday count as live?

Hey man! That's far from the case.

I hope so. Center is entirely different than Gaurd. Center runs the OL.

That's pure speculation. In six seasons (96 regular season games), he's only started 25.

At least you're being more reasonable than your Bronco brethren that claim he was the starter all along and that you'll be "just fine" because 13 games were won last year.

PS - This is 2013, not 2012.

Do you think Ramirez replacing Koppen will have any effect on how this season plays out for the AFCW?

Manning calls the protections and Manny has been our backup center for a few years now. If you're worried about QB/center exchanges that shouldn't be a problem, Manning will make sure they rep it until Ramirez can do it in his sleep.

I might.

One bad center/QB exchange could affect where your team is seeded in the playoffs (if at all), could affect the outcome of a game, etc.

Considering that Koppen is gone for the season and Walton is reportedly lost for the season, if something happens to Ramirez, the Broncos are in worse shape at center.

Having it happen early so they have time to work together is a plus. Can't deny that it's not a best case scenario though.

Horseface waited until 8 minutes before the deadline to send the contract to begin with. He ****ed up.

Horseface also tried to change the terms of the contract at the last second. So not only is he incompetent, he's a scumbag too.

All battle plans are good until the first shot is fired.

I considered him the weakest part of our line last year. There was a noticeable difference on the right side when he was in compared to a half healthy Kuper. I do believe this though, when there is a guy like Peyton behind center, it's either perform or you won't play. Consequently I think Man Ram will step up his game even more.
