With TO being a FA could Denver sign TO and use him in their play book and either a second WR or Third for that matter and see him and as an instant play maker ? What do you guys thinks ? IMO it would be a interesting area for TO as long as he could leave his on and off drama and just play his game like in the old days back as a 9er before all BS .

i think you need to think more before hitting submit.

on a sidenote, i played ping pong vs. timmy in lodo tonight. reaffirmed my belief that he's basically a cool dude that i'd never want to actually spend time with. cutler was far more up my alley, in terms of late night drinking.

I think we got a VERY good deal on that kuper resign. 29 million over 6 years? not bad when you consider he'll be making $13 in bonuses. That mean's he'll be making a little under 3 million a year. I think that's a pretty healthy number for a player of his caliber, and it won't kill our cap.

wait, you met Tim Tebow?

or you know him?

If you did, is he how he's advertised as, or is it all for show?

met him the other night at some bar downtown... seemed like that obnoxiously nice guy that he's portrayed as, but he was also drinking water. i sort of preferred cutler wasted, but i don't relate well to sober people when i'm drinking.

This was a decent read

that really doesn't sound like belichick... interesting.

Quote:

Last season McDaniels installed a misdirection screen that Matt Cassel had completed 29 out of 30 times with the Patriots in '08. The play drove McDaniels crazy in Denver. The back would run the wrong way, or the tackle would take a bad angle to the screen point and be late.

so why call it 472384 times? ugh. i don't even recall the pats screens being successful outside of kevin faulk's epic 3rd down ability.

definitely interesting overall, though i wish it was less about tebow and more about what all of the qbs are doing to figure out the system/get better.

It is a very reasonable deal. I think him wanting to stay in Denver was a factor, which is a good thing.

The transition in offensive scheme is an interesting issue. I wonder if McD wasn't perhaps a little spoiled in NE where the offense evolved out of the old Erhardt-Perkins system over time. It's one thing to be part of a gradual change, another entirely for the majority of the offensive players to come in completely cold and pick up the offense from scratch.

Should be right on schedule to trade him next off-season.

njx9 · 06-10-2010, 09:57 AM

hopefully we can pitch clady, too. i mean, after all, the patriots were good because they had no talent whatsoever and they never paid anyone. we can certainly do the same.

i seriously don't think xanders has the faintest ******* clue what he's doing.

Standard play in the business of NFL contract negotiations. This by itself is not even a story.

Doom signed his tender yesterday. A step in the right direction.

Appears to be better at his job than AJ Smith right now.

njx9 · 06-17-2010, 10:25 PM

meh.

i'm not sure that's the standard i'd be looking for here...

Hey, I just want to start by winning the damn division, then move onto bigger things. If Al Davis and AJ Smith want to help by being worse at their jobs than anyone we got, then fantastic.

njx9 · 06-18-2010, 07:44 AM

fair enough, but i think al might be changing... the raiders honestly scare me. if we go through another massive collapse, it doesn't seem out of the realm of possibility that we end up dead last in the division (if cassell plays well). it's not quite as bad as losing the nfc west, but that'd still be ugly.

I dunno. If Dumervil is alienated, that's 50% of our good players right there. It may only be one guy, but that's the state of Denver Broncos football after Xanders already got rid of the best QB and the best WR we've had since Elway retired.

njx9 · 06-18-2010, 11:02 PM

all due respect to smith, watson and eddie, but marshall was the most talented WR we've ever had.

True that the Raiders had a really good off-season. Hopefully that was just an aberration and wont happen again.

I am actually quite positive about the upcoming season (provided Doom gets paid at some point and Clady gets healthy). I just cant believe that Orton, Moreno, the rest of the offense and McDaniels wont be better than last season now that they know/understand more about what they are doing. The def line will be better, and as long as Champ and Dawk dont suddenly fall off the old-age cliff, we should be good in the backfield.

Oakland has brought in plenty of talent over the years, but without effective leadership it doesn't mean much.

I like the depth we have in our secondary. I don't think we need to lean on Dawk and Champ heavily at this point - a solid rotation would probably help everyone (old guys get to rest, young guys get extra reps).

Playing as Tebow in Madden will be fun.

That's the most positive thing I can think of to say about the Broncos right now.

Hes gonna have a descent arm to above average if you ask me. You are just gonna have to make smart decisions and not throw wildly.Its gonna be exicting to watch Tebow grow into a pocket passer.I'm still worried how he is gonna handle under a real game situation.Other then that issue I think hes doing fine this off season
