If this guy can’t clean it up, then he should clean out his locker.

However, since his injury (which came a couple weeks after the March 6th incident) he’s claiming to be on the straight and narrow. He can sure talk the talk… but can he walk the walk?

Four of these incidents involved Rasheedah Watley. Now that they are no longer a couple, we shall see if his domestic violence continues. If it does, then I say that the Broncos should cut him loose. If that is in fact the end of it, then we’ll all be the happier.

I voted “yes” simply for the sake of hope.

I voted NO. I would think he would clean up his act after one arrest, but to no avail.

the best thing I can say is: “you can’t fix stupid”

Lets hope he stays away from Ms. Watley from now on.

As soon as I stumbled across this story, I got a Horse Tracks going.

Any man who beats a woman deserves to kicked in his manhood by Chuck Norris. There is no excuse for that, and nothing that would warrant it. He’s looking more and more like Randy Moss 2.0. However, I do have hope for Marshall. I hope he has realized his immaturity with this last incident and will grow up and move on. The last incident occured on March 6, and it was 21 days later, March 27, that he promised to clean up his act. While I am proably just being naive and that was merely a PR statement, I hope he does have it in him grow up and avoid trouble.

Denver will need to get something in trade for him. If he didn’t have the arm injury, he would have equity. He needs to prove his abilities again this year in Denver. If he recovers and returns to old form, then Denver can trade him when he screws up again, and they’ll get something for him. There aren’t many turds left for him to get in trouble with…Javon is gone, no Henry… Who will party with him on the team? Maybe he’ll want a trade.

I came from a normal stable family, so making some rational choices are easy and clear for me. But notice how Marshall had a fight with his dad, and his father tried to run him over with a car. That is troubled family 101.

If any one of us had a girlfriend we fought with all the time, then we would dump her and move on. Why did Marshall hold on for so long? It’s because people with troubled family lives as children often have attachment and emotional issues they have to overcome.

Look, I am not one of those people that says the excuse covers the crime. If Marshall does he crime he has to do the time-society cannot make excuses-but if we are just discussing this guy as an individual, then we have to consider his life as a whole.

I think clear outright message, like what Cutler send Marshall a while ago, is the type of thing that is needed. Make Marshall understand that if he can’t clean his act he will suffer. Either he loves his career and life enough to seek help and overcome his problems or he is a lost cause.

I said it before the draft and I say it again, if Shanny doesn’t think Marshall is going to get his act together, then trade him for a couple of high draft picks and get it over with before it’s too late. We just don’t know Marshall well enough to know for sure. Maybe he will end up being all right the way Carter did.

First, this incident occurred nearly four months ago, and before the “clean up my act” statement (as papigrande pointed out.) IMO, this shouldn’t be the “final straw” after the statement, but rather grouped in with his previous reckless behavior. Run-ins with the law that occur AFTER that point, however, are what I would be troubled with.

Also, this happened during the time when Marshall, Cutler, and Scheffler were all working out together in Atlanta, and before Cutler’s “he’s not my favorite person right now” statement. I wonder if Jay knew about this (my guess: yes), and his statement was not just about the arm incident. Brandon’s reaction to the whole thing (clean up his act, joking about the statements with Jay, etc) would seem to imply an acceptance of the rebuking, which may (and yes, I’m being optimistic here) signal a genuine change in behavior.

he hasn’t done anything since March…so I will reserve judgement for now. As long as BMarsh isn’t actually convicted of anything I am more than willing to overlook these multiple transgressions. At least until Shanny gets fed up and cuts him…until then, he is still my favorite player. lol

I hope that he’s finally learned his lesson, but I still have my doubts because all I am basing it on is hope. I am in the verify mode right now – he’s got to show it.

I stated in a post a few weeks ago that maybe it was time for some of the older players to step forward and take Marcus Thomas under their wings to teach him what a championship attitude looks like, Marshall could use the same treatment. He obviously doesn’t know what it looks like. I’m with Guru, his behavior is getting really annoying. However, he has kept his nose clean since the injury and it is my hope that he will keep that up. If not, I think the noose is drawing tighter for him. Time will tell, but I hope he straightens up, he will be a stud for us if he does. Can you imagine this guy with a Rod Smith or Ed McCaffrey attitude? Could be one of the best ever.
