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.

umm… how about marshall sprays champagne on some gang members, leading to an argument between marshall ,his cousin, and said gangsters, eventually resulting in the shooting and death of darrent williams? hello? this guy(love his play as i do) is a punk. i’ve been saying this from day 1. the attitude, the fur coat, the bling, telling the coaches to play him or cut him,... the list goes on, and this stuff isn’t even mentioned above. marshall’s path will lead himself out of here in a year or 2. he is a loser off the field, and he will end up in dallas or oakland, before long. another waste of a talent. i say we cut him the next time he farts in a meeting, so we could move on already. i’ll miss his play, which is fantastic, but he, too, is replaceable. open your eyes, people

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.

How NOW the post is reporting on this. HMMMMMM wouldnt it have been more prudent to research this after he hurt his arm? To me he has been doing the right things for the past 3 months. Granted its 3 months, but to think he has been a thug or anything like that is wrong. All his incidens have been misdemenors. I am not excusing anything he has done. But come on, he is not Pacman Jones or those other clowns. Lets give him the benefit of the doubt for now

okiebroncosfan, you hit it on the head with the henry comparison. the only reason marshall is on this team right now is because of his talent level, and walker being gone. if he was someone like david kircus(1 incident), he would have been done here, already. if we are going to cut guys because of their transgressions, then what the hell is marshall doing on the team? if it is the committment to the team that is the issue, then he simply doesn’t get it. i never will understand the trading of millions of dollars for the choice to be a punk. it is a choice, no matter how you justify it. you can also add the tv incident to my previous comment and this post, and he becomes somewhat of a joke at this point. i think he is 1-and-done at this time. if he gets 2 more chances, then he’ll make it through the year. i would be completely shocked if he made it through THIS season without incident. his future here is bleak. that is the reality of the situation. i pray he gets it, but his history proves otherwise. sad, just sad.

as far as we need him on the team, i doubt it. the giants won a super bowl without tiki barber and jeremy shockey. in fact, many credit their success to the fact that neither was in the locker room. are we going to score more td’s without henry and walker? no. if we have to go with jackson, colbert, and parker, i am cool with that. we now have the depth to let him go, if he screws up again. let’s give the guy 1 more season to prove he can handle the fame, and if he can’t, dump him. as i’ve said before, i don’t think he will remain a bronco for long, in either case. he will go to the highest bidder when his contract is up anyway, like most do. remember, it was smith and mccafferey’s LACK of god-given talent that gave them the attitude, humbleness, and loyalty that they possessed. they were motivated by pride, and thankfullness for the chances they were given. marshall will get many more chances because of his skill, but not here. i am done with the coddling of wr’s

I think it is time to trade Marshall for someone like Anquan Boldin or Roy Williams. It’s hard to see how he will change enough not to cause continual distractions.

Like to follow in Javon Walker’s footsteps…

But he’s supposed to be a man already .

He has never been punished for anything. Once Roger Goodell slaps a four or eight game suspension on him I’m sure things will get a lot clearer in his mind.

There is a reason why he was a 4th round pick, just like Marcus Thomas, another walking time bomb.

Javon and Brandon competed for the #1 WR job last year and it looks like each is still trying to one-up the other this off season. Remember pirate Norm last week?

I have to think that Shanahan might have known about this in March (as well as Jay). It did seem kind of strange just how many WRs he brought in to fill one roster spot. Jay was there when it went down so Bmarsh probably called him from jail to say "I don’t think I’m going to make it in."

I’m still cracking up about Zappa’s candidness and I pretty much agree. I watch the NFL purely for entertainment purposes only (and it is more fun to watch when the Broncos are winning) but in the same if Marshall ends up suspended, in jail or dead he no longer has any value to the team or my entertainment dollar.

So, I hope he turns it around, but if not, go Djack or Colbert or Eddie.

when Marshall got his surgery done on his arm, he also had the doctor’s fix his cranial-rectal inversion so he no longer had his head up his a**.

sit on him and read scripture to him until he never does it again! Seriously though I love the kid to death but its time to face the music and grow up or grow out of your orange and blue

It sounds like Marshall and Rasheedah Watley need to get away from one another (and supposedly Marshall has finally figured that out and ended things). From everything I have read, it sounds like that was a disastrous relationship with violence on both sides (Marshall showed the police scratches on his chest when they first arrived in June 2006. Watley did not file a complaint with plice at that time. She went home to Atlanta and filed one 3 days later) They sound like one of those couples that just bring out the worst in each other. Marshall is no choir boy and I don’t want to condone his mistakes, but I have confidence that both Marshall and Marcus Thomas have realized that they need to leave the old life behind before it brings down their new life.

I really don’t like the way this is gonna sound, but here goes anyway: I think this latest “story” is old news and was not worth reporting. I think that the newest writer at the Post, Lindsay Jones, overreached in an effort to make a name for herself. FWIW – the Rocky Mountain News has not mentioned a word about this even though they have had plenty of time.
