Here’s a scary sentence, Broncos fans: Star pass rusher Elvis Dumervil left Wednesday’s practice early with an apparent arm or shoulder injury.

Head trainer Steve Antonopulos accompanied Dumervil to the locker room. Dumervil was holding his right arm tight against his chest, with his hand grasping the neck area of his jersey.

Dumervil and the Broncos pass rushers were participating in a one-on-one pass rush drill against offensive linemen when Dumervil was injured.

Wheres Tebow with the holy water?

They also got rid of 70% of their receiving yards. Who did you replace your #1 receive and #1 TE with?

They have the all-pro HOF TE Daniel Graham and future HOFer Demaryius Thomas/ Knowmo

TE? Let's not get too crazy about Scheffler... 31 rec / 416 yd / 2 TD is what he did last season.

Marshall is gone... yes, the Beast is out, but the drama is as well. So, they'll move on.

In due time, I'm hoping the depth chart shapes up as follows:
Demaryius Thomas, Eddie Royal, Eric Decker, Brandon Stokley, Jabar Gaffney

Prior to all these injuries, this team wasn't making a serious playoff run.. but, the potential is there for this WR group to be good this year and very solid in years to come. I really like Decker and the mix of youth and vets could prove to be a nice mix - there are no big egos here at all, so that's nice.

It's not a "brand name" offense, but that's ok for me right now.

All these injuries are going to definitely put the spotlight on McDaniels. Not because he caused them but now he's going to have to get this team together and compete without a bunch of star players.

No doubt... but, let's not act like Denver's group of WRs is that much worse off from an experience or production point of view compared to KC or Oakland. I think Oak and Den have more upside than KC actually.

I will say this... I don't care how smart Josh thinks he is, but if he can't figure out how to make Royal a more integral part of this offense... he needs to resign. There was just so much left on the table last year, in my opinion, when you look at how poorly guys like Royal and Hillis were used.

It's ugly.

I'll never understand why Hillis was traded away, he'd had a pretty decent season a couple of years ago and probably would've worked well as a combo with Moreno.

I still have huge issues with it... you're telling me that this creative mind for offense that enjoyed the likes of Kevin Faulk in the past couldn't come up with plays for Hillis?

How do you figure that? The leading receiver is Stokley...and he has 4k career yards. 4000 yards in 10 years. Their best young receiver is Royal who had less than 400 yards last year. The other starter is a career backup who had 3k career yards. Thomas has to learn how to run routes again this off season.

Sorry, the Broncos WR corp is nowhere near as good as the Chiefs. I'll take Bowe, Chambers, and McCluster over any combination of Broncos WR any day of the week and 8 times on sunday.

Hang on... "Their best young receiver is Royal who had less than 400 yards last year."

And, Bowe had 589 yards... after his 2008 campaign of just over 1,000. I know, he only started 11 games...

Chambers is older and he's really about a 700 yd guy on average the last few years. McCluster is a 5 foot 8 inch rookie 'tweener'.

So, yeah... Denver is not the only team in the division with issues at WR my friend.

Bowe > Royal
Chambers > Gaffney
McCluster = Thomas

I'll take our starters over yours.

I'll give you Chambers, but I think you're picking and choosing top 3 oddly...

Give me Royal and the two rookies and I'll say let's go.

Upside is a sort of useless term. Thomas can't run routes and Heyward-Bey can't, you know, catch a football. Bowe > them, by many, many leaps and bounds. You use interesting words like experience and production. In fact, from those points of view, KC is pretty far ahead. You'd have been better off by saying "from a natural/athletic talent point of view."
