And I should add, from conversations with him, my cousin wouldn’t change any of his decisions if he could do it again.

You know Bay, when I was younger (and Im not even old), I was the risk taker. The laugh at danger type.
I have a ton of respect for that mentality and the potential benifits. I wish mine hadn’t diminished with age and kids.

I ride a ton of Motocross so its sad that I have become more mellow. I will still jump a 60-70 foot gap but I am much more calculated in my attempts. First I find a guy on the track jumping it. Then I check to see if I can even keep pace with that guy on the track. If I can, then I follow him and pace the jump speed multiple times but without jumping. Finally I pace the guy again and commit to the jump. So the risk is there but it has been midigated as much as possible.

Again, I respect the full open style. Mad props to you Bay, it is truely a gift.

No, the second reply was for RH, I thought that was implied, sorry, you guys take care.

The McD hangover was a doozy, WAY more than your average 24 hour recovery time needed… LOL!

John Fox is probably the most conservative coach in the entire NFL, but then John Elway has taken some pretty big risks in his business life, so it’s actually an interesting pairing, and I’m curious to see how it will play out.

Not sure if your last comment was directed at me bay, but I’ve actually taken some big risks in my life so far, most notably career wise, and location, but I’ve also played it pretty conservative at times as well.

That’s cool about your skiing career. I have a cousin who was a serious mogul skier, and had two knee replacements when he was in his thirties..

What can I say, I’m b@lls to the wall, snow skied at 118.794 mph, just a go for it kind of guy, in business too by the way, but I sense that careful approach in you and yeah it’s all fine, we are all different, wished for more wattage at Dove Valley is all.

The McD hangover, but eventually that needs to go away, it actually should be gone already, it’s more than 24 hours, right? LOL.

And DJ and Moreno are still dealt with poorly, even right now, Moreno not played therefore not even showcased so we can get something in a trade, maybe, so in essence they have given up on him and his value but he still takes a roster spot, and DJ, don’t get me started about him, lying openly to the league about his non human urine or something as stupid as that plus the driving drunk at 2 am without the lights on, the non commitment to the team every off season… I mean the guy is the definition of a character you need to get rid of at all cost fo the benefit of all other players on the team who are trying to become better men, no excuse, weak at LB so what, we are a weaker team with DJ overall, a mentally damaged team.

@Bay – I think your right in your assessment about personalities and the personality of this organization. I just see it the same way I have seen the Texans become an outstanding team. I think the organization is taking risk and reward but on a lesser scale. Meaning the overall path is slower yet steadier (smaller deviations). I think there needs to be a stronger foundation before attempting larger risks otherwise recovery may be impossible.

Multiple paths to greatness none of them are wrong or right or better or worse, just different.

Hey bay. Fundamentally, I agree with what you’re saying. High risk, high reward. But there’s also something to be said about taking calculated risks, and not just random risks for the sake of taking risks. We are only a few years removed from the McDaniels era (error), where the chips were flung all over the table without any regard. I would agree with you that we are perhaps a bit too conservative now, possibly an over correction of the last regime, and I think we need to find that happy medium. As for DJ and Knowshon, I agree we should have done something with them, like a trade during the draft, or even a flat out release, with suitable replacements, but to cut ties now (not sure if you’re suggesting that) wouldn’t make sense IMO, unless we had better options, which I don’t see at this point. We’ve shaped the cards in our hand up to this point, and now we have to live them, win or lose…

It reminds me of Legwold the other day who said the team on the field is still searching for an identity, and I couldn’t agree more, I just took it a step further and said the the organization as a whole right now is still searching for its identity.
