Lets not continue to let him slide. I think the Broncos some how, some way need to not give him the option to screw up. Maybe that means assigning someone to baby sit him. I don’t know what, but clearly he doesn’t make the right decisons in certain situations.
If I made that much money and I knew keeping my nose clean was part of continuing to make that much money. I would go out have a good time and give my body guard the standing order to drag my butt out of there at the first sign of something going bad, no matter what. I’m sure there are plenty of people who wouldn’t mind doing that for a relatively small fee.

Brandon has been incident-free since March, as far as we know. His lawyer said this incendiary relationship with the old girlfriend is over. Let’s give him a chance to do better. Remember, this most recent arrest happened in early March, before the arm injury, which he received a lot of criticism for. Let’s not overreact to something that happened months ago, just because we didn’t know about it until last week.

I will go back to waht I have said before. This happened back in MARCH! Why now is it being reported? To me this is a ploy by the Post to sell papers in a lull in the season. He hasnt been in trouble since then, but it seems to me most the people banging away on him are looking for a reason to. Fine. Thats your choice. It seems to me, the fans want a winner who is sueaky clean. Every person in this world is different. He is no Chris Henry, Adam Jones, ect. But it seems to me its soooooo hard for people to want to cut him some slack and see if he is a man of his word.

I’m not tired of Brandon, I wish he hadn’t done some of these things, but I’m not tired of him. When I look back at the twentyfive something and more years since I was twentyfour, I hurt for Brandon Marshall.

I have never been violent, sober or drunk, but I have made mistakes that I wish to GOD I could go back and correct. Brandon has made mistakes, bad ones, but all sins can be forgiven.

REBUT. For the first time I am going to give a serious rebut.

You have to be crazy if you are tired of Brandon Marshall. He knows he has made some serious mistakes. He knows he may be in trouble-and he has known it since March.
Yet, he has shown up everyday for mini-camp, he has gone out and helped in the community. When at practice he has a smile that is not fake-he has a love for football and this team that is not fake. He has said recently, “I need to change and make right decisions, I know I have made mistakes, I know these kids are smart and read the paper.” He has gone on to say that he is not going anywhere during the break. He is ‘going to work out and help with community projects.

I hope like heck that Brandon is with us for years to come. I hope that Brandon helps Cuttler make Elway a fond memory. I want the Broncos to be feared again and Brandon will help us get there.

Go Brandon!

also…..........Thanks for being older than me—I think.

There is a clear pattern here, extending over several years, mostly involving his (former?) girlfriend who obviously knows how to push his buttons – and he obviously does NOT know how to deal with her properly.

But he is still young, and it would be a waste of talent to jettison him at this point. Shanny has shown a great deal of patience and loyalty with his players over the years, and it appears Brandon may have one more chance.

We have the perfect mentor for this kid already on the team- Michael Pittman. MP had a years-long, well documented problem with domestic violence/abuse and lack of self control – to the point that he rammed his wife’s car with his Hummer, pushing it off the road, while his wife AND CHILD were in it! This resulted in a league suspension. Since then, he’s kept to the straight and narrow for the last several years. He would be the perfect guy to hook BM up with. MP has been there-done that, he’s been disciplined by the league, and found a way to not only turn himself around, but repair his relationship with his wife, who he’s still with- (BM needs to dump that crazy *itch he’s been with, though). Pittman can relate to Marshall better than anyone on the team, and get Marshall started down the right path.

Having said all that, I believe the Broncos and the League need to punish Brandon for his misdeeds. He needs a suspension. He needs to lose some money and playing time to get his attention. And the Broncos can use the time to fully evaluate their deep receiver class and see where they stand without BM.

IMHO

I agree we all make mistakes when we are young. I don’t know what has gone on with him and his ex? If he hit her than he is wrong, no slack on that. Sorry I guess I just grew differently. If a woman hits you and you don’t like it you leave. Other than that he has done anything he can’t fix. I say give him the chance to fix it. I also think that as a proffesional athlete this guy is getting paid not only to play but to conduct himself off the field in a certain manner. Other wise their wouldn’t be a policy in the NFL. In the end I want the best for Brandon but more importantly I want the best for the Broncos.
