Come on, no one first?
Come on Broncos make us proud by one step closer to a playoff birth.
I`m a wild card by being second. LOL
Yep. you Bay.
Nice article about Demaryius Thomas and his comeback from his recent injuries. I hope he stays healthy for years to come. He`s a humble young man who`s a had a rough start in life and making the best of it. Come on Demaryius, have another productive game this weekend and build your confidence up young man. And get somemore TD`s.
For those who don`t know much about Demaryius Thomas. His mother and grandmother went to prison for dealing drugs during his high school days. This young man had to deal with things that most of us don`t normally go through. His Grandma is in for life, a repeat offender, but his mother gets out soon. What a reunion that will be. Hang in there D.
Was waiting for you bay… lol.
LOL Royal.
Yeah – tough circumstances bay-bay had to deal with while growing up.
Demaryius was interviewed a few days ago on NFLN. A young man of few words but was concise when asked about what he was seeing out on the field.
Are there Saturday Games this week in the NFL?
No, Saturday is the Heisman.
Yea more TD’s for DT!
wow, I’m 11th!! with no substance to contribute…perfect!!
ahhhh, ok… Good Luck to Andre Ware… I mean Rodney Peete… I mean RG3!!!, just for you Bay… ;o)
“•Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, defensive tackle Marcus Thomas and defensive end Derrick Harvey played together at Florida.”
How is that a roster connection? lol … not unless im missing something … and Cutler was conviniently left out in the conection segment.
TRB
I guess I was a little off…and just trying to be a smart a$$.
Yeah leaving Cutler out was funny!
It`ll most likely be RG3 to win it.
In my opinion, RG3 is the only one deserving of it this year.
Have you heard RG3 speak. The guys very professional, bussiness like, knowledgable when he speaks. No one is coaching him on how to talk. I like the young man. I`d want him on my team. but as a backup of course.
knowledgeable
I believe out of the entire qb stock this year, he would make the best choice for back-up to Tebow. The problem I see is he will not be on the board when it comes our time for selection. I see him going in the top 5 or 10, and we will not be that high.
I fully agree, he`ll be gone.
Yeah, he’ll be gone at the 32nd pick in the draft…
Whatever team selects him, there getting a great player with a mature attitude, sound character it seems like.
I respect him highly… He is deserving of the award if he is the one selected, and it would be hard to argue for one of the players over him…
But after watching what kind of hit put him out of his second to last game of the seaon just prior to the half, I am highly suspect that he does not have the physical Toughness to be a long term successful pro… Talented kid, but not one I would want on my roster
BT was that the hit where the announcer made the comment that he was trying to imitate Tebow? (or something to that nature)
Thing is, with the NFL being as it is today, you have to be able to take those hits if you are going to stand in the pocket. Also if you scramble out of the pocket you are free game then too, but they say the hits aren’t as bad.
