Not a big deal, as I think he should retire and get his knee(s) replaces ASAP, but interesting that not one word has been said about him.

It good to see Torain do some drills, and Moreno is showing so playmaking ability much like Westbrook. I think Orton will do wel lwith the weapons he has this year. I know I can't say the same for Cutler and his Bears. These reports are great, and keeps me so in tune with how practice is going, and who is making strides to do well this season.

Whip up a contract that severely fines Marshall for arrests, missed games, penalties on the field, dropped balls, etc. and watch the look on his face. Imagine a $5 million dollar year reduced to under a million because of somebody who couldn't pull their act together. That would suck for the Broncos and us fans, but it would be amusing to see Marshall's reaction. I like the incentive ridden contract idea!

Did McD error in handling the Cutler/Cassel thing? Yes. Did Cutler error by not answering his phone? Yes. It works both ways. You can't blame McD for Cutlers childish antics. He decided he didn't want to be here. I believe Bowlen over Cutler. Cutler was having a fit. That's on him. Marshall is talking out of the side of his mouth. He said he is excited about the upcoming season yet doesn't show up for the meetings. Sorry, but that's "double talk". My motto is "say what you mean and mean what you say." Marshall is not doing that. The ball is in his court. Casey wants a raise but shows up for practice. I would give him his raise before Brandon at this point. I truly believe that the thing that's holding up Wiegmanns deal is that he has been talking retirement and there would be a matter of 'how many years he has left in him" and "how much money does he want guaranteed?" Let's say that he agrees to 2 more years. He asks for a large guarantee of payment then only plays 1 year? Denver gets hosed. See what I mean? Don't be so sure that the players should always get what they ask for. Lots of intangibles. George Bush, exactly.

Somebody with natural talent can often lose their way, but a top professional who works hard and looks after business like Rod Smith is what we want, enter Eddie Royal.

But they said the same thing last year after his McDonalds bag incident, and I'd say he came out playing pretty strong (19 catches, 100+ yds, 1 or 2 TD's in his first game back). I live and die watching our team every week, and am emotionally invested in this team, for better or for worse. The guy is a beast, and if we let this one get away like we did Jay, that'll be worse than anything Shanahan did in his entire career with Denver. Brandon isn't gonna sink into obscurity because of this injury. If anything, why are we not questioning our organizations misdiagnosis of his injury? Nobody seems to be taking that into consideration. I agree he may be getting big headed, but sometimes that's what a big, overgrown manbeast needs to do to dominate on the field. He is no Jerry Rice, or even Eddie Royal. He's a brawler on the field, and he knows it. My bottom line is that I don't want them to take the same hard ass approach they took with Cutler because I feel we got the short end of the stick with that one. Even though Ayers, A. Smith and Orton may turn out to be good, it wasn't our qb that needed to be changed in the first place. I agree with both you guys for the most part.

Also I would be concerned his hip was healthy enough to play at the level he has in the past. His holding out and not attending mandatory mini-camp has not helped his case of getting a new contract, I'm sure. A good team player would be there even if they could not practice to learn the offensive scheme.

He is coming off hip surgery and is a question mark. He is still facing a possible suspension if convicted on the latest Watley case (which is unlikely, but still a possibility). He has also been caught telling what turns out to be untruths about his feelings about the team (just like Cutler did). He said he is excited, etc., then pulls his latest stunt by not showing up at the meetings. Selfish jerk is what he is. Talking from the side of his mouth. Yes, he is a talent, but there is no "I" in team! He needs to learn that. He's turning into a prima donna. eeerockski, giving Brandon what he wants is a bit premature.

Im glad he is our back up with that attitude the guy is thankful for the opportunity to compete. I think these two QB's being that close and pushing each other is exactly what we need.

Look, the guy has been suspended once, as far as I can remember, and most charges against him have been dropped. It's not like he's makin it rain every weekend, or he has been convicted of battering his girl. He does need to grow up a bit, but throw some stuff in the contract about discipline, and staying out of trouble, and we're good to go. We need this guy on our offense. He's a top 10 WR maybe a top 5, and being paid like the top 60th WR in the NFL. And, he says our medical stuff screwed up on diagnosing his hip injury. I know he's gonna come back and play at the level he has been for the past couple of years. SIGN HIM! HE HAS EARNED IT! Too many of us FANS have bought into them damn Outside the Lines reports. They left alot of info out of those programs. Bottom line: He's not perfect, but he's a damn good WR, and has earned his spot among the NFL's elite. Now pay him like one and don't screw it up like we did with the Cutler debacle. Because having the worst defense last year was more than enough heartache for all of us!
