And only reason I voice many bad points now is because there are many to point out, but you should know that I always talk about the good too, just like in the good the bad and the ugly pieces. I believe that if you can’t say anything good about something you are probably not qualified to talk about the bad, stick around you’ll see, I’ll give kudos when they are due, even to McD.

Anyhow, I’m glad you joined in this blog, you are a well spoken young man, born in 86 from what I gather, and even so I’m 32 years older than you are I always enjoy a good conversation with the now generation, specially when it’s with a well educated man and done in a polite fashion just like your posts. All I ask is that you take my Bronco life experience which started in the early 70′s when we discuss things so you will remember I have gone through many tribulations with the organization since then. In short I feel I’ve earned the right to speak my mind about my beloved team, good or bad, and so have you, and I respect that. Now, GO BRONCOS!!!

True we don’t have a Manning, a Bush, an Addai or a Shockey. The Panthers didn’t have a ton of names in Super Bowl XXXVIII and they had a great season and played a damn good game against the elite Patriots. Sure guys like Peppers have turned out to be a force in the NFL but no one was comparing any of those guys to any greats at the beginning of that year.

Go ahead and get your pitchforks and torches out now but I think Demaryius will be a Moss, that Decker can be a McCaffrey, Lloyd is already proving to be somebody, and most importantly that Tebow will be a Brees or a Rivers. I’m among the minority who’s believed he can play in the NFL from the beginning. Vick is out there right now proving that a run first Quarterback can become a smart, accurate pocket passer with hard work.

There’s talented young guys on both sides of the ball and a lot of them aren’t just developing on the sideline. They’re playing now and they’re going to continue to get better. Lloyd and Gaffney have stepped up and Orton certainly has as well. Sure we need points, not just NFL leading passing yards. But I believe we are a team that has the right work ethic to improve and we have the talent. I agree there is no Bush or Addai in sight, and I’d kill to get a Freeney or a Mathis (we do have a Dumerville on in reserve). But McDaniels has only had two draft classes and he tried to get an Addai when he drafted Moreno last year, and at the time Denver fans thought that was a pretty good pick. Picks don’t always work out but we have rookies who are already impacting the team. Cox has done more good than harm. He got beat last week by the best QB playing the game right now. Demaryius had one of the finest rookie openers in franchise history, and the rookies on are o-line are doing an outstanding job of pass protection.

We are not the Lions. They were 2-14 last year. We were 8-8. They’re 0-3 this year. At least we’ve won one, agaisnt a pretty explosive team at that. If we had had Javhid Best we might just be 3-0 right now.

Baylin,
There is some truth to what you say. I’m sure part of me believes what I believe because I WANT to believe. But if I don’t believe there’s no reason to watch my team every week. I don’t want to operate like a Red Sox fan and say we have the worst team and staff when we’re losing, and turn around say we are the best when we’re winning. I have to look at the evidence of the good things to come and believe. We’ve always been the underdog and one thing that unites all the fans commenting on this blog is that we’ve always cared. And the way that I continue to care is by believing. I learned in 1997 that there is no better feeling than to be the overlooked, the underestimated, and then to WIN. I haven’t ignored the things that are wrong on our team, but you guys have ignored plenty of things that are going right, in my opinion.

Hard work beats talent when talent don’t work hard! Go Broncos!

It has not been a good HC start for McD either way you want to spin it, unless you buy everything he does just because he is the big cheese and the Broncos are your life and you can’t stand the thought that we might no be on the right track so it feels better to think that we are that everything McD does is orchestrated magic with nothing but dynasty and SB’s in the future, but in the real world that obviously isn’t what all the bloggers are about here, and it’s not pessimism, it’s just realism.

It is what it is, if it smells like….. well you got the idea. Here is hoping for a huge turnaround, may the earth flip on its axis and straighten everything up for us, because I feel like I’m living in an upside down Bronco world right now. I thought I was getting a breath of fresh air after Marshall’s departure, but it was obviously rarified air and is now long gone, much wrong has gone on since then.
