He’s growing on me a little. Despite his obvious talent I haven’t been a huge fan of Brandon Marshall but I think there has been a clear maturation both from him and Jay Cutler this year, they just seem to be a little more serious and focused, and it also seems there are some real leadership qualities emerging from both of these guys. I think it is a matter of time before things start to really click. I don’t think it will be this year but you never know.

both in the newfound maturity Brandon is showing and Jay’s leadership. These guys are going to be the next great quarterback-receiver duo. I love the way they’re stepping up.

check in on him when Cutler is gone at practice and game day.

As much as I like Jay Cutler, BMarsh will hopefully be my favorite player for the next decade. :)

is that when Rod smith showed up at Brandon’s side when Marshall met with Goodell, I’m sure that the purpose wasn’t just to tell Goodell that Marshall was a good guy.

The Broncos wanted Goodell to know that Marshall has something now that he hasn’t always had: people who care about him, and are willing to step up for him. Rod has, now Cutler has, and both are class guys with character to spare.

This goes beyond Marshall. We can feel great about what the Broncos are building in Dove Valley. This 53 is so much different from the 53 we have been growing accustomed to. These guys are really learning to care about eachother.

It’s no wonder Shanny has extra pep in his step. This is why you coach, for a chance to coach a group of guys like this. This is the type of group that has the potential to do things no one has ever seen before…

I am really glad to see that Marshall is taking the steps in the right direction and making use of the suspension. All of us know what he is capable of doing and if he is going to be going over film and a game plan together (if he was playing) then the sky is the limit on what these can do.

Not only does Marshall gain some props but Jay as well. His is definatly showing that he is the leader on this team and while he voices his disappointment in BMarsh, he is also there to help him improve as a player……and that is what a leader does.

I hope he keeps his head on straight now. He is lucky he is the Broncos organization. This team truly cares about their players and will do everything to support them. Right Henry. All they ask back is committment to the team and city. I also am thankfull he has a great friend/teammate in Cutler. This to me shows the character in JC and it also shows me that #15 is serious about turning things around. This could be the start of Denver’s own version of Young/Montana to Rice combo

In my opinion if BMarsh follows up on this plan it easily makes up for some of the off-field stumbles he’s had. I really see positive signs of maturity, growth, and leadership with him and Cutler as well.

As far as the game day parties in Cutler’s basement are concerned I really hope BMarsh stays at least 15 feet away from the TV. Stairs and dogs (i.e. PLUM-M-E_R) should be avoided at all costs as well. Heck why not just have him suit up in pads and buckle him to the couch! There’s really no need to take chances with such an amazing talent.

First, Jay is not only a leader, but he opens up his home and his free time to back it up. This is our QB folks. Love him.

Second, I’m proud of Marshall’s move here. It shows that he gets it, and isn’t just going to spend the time away from the team like some players on some other teams might. Solid move by Brandon.

Third, this demonstrates the kind of locker room family / chemistry we are building. I love it.

Last, this shows potential for the future when a young QB and a young WR have each other’s backs and support each other.

I firmly believe that the two or three games that Brandon has sacrificed has benefited Brandon and the team in ways that will become all to clear to our opponents sooner rather than later. This is the spark I’ve been waiting to see to demonstrate that we have a team with a championship mentality.

I just got my #15 jersey yesterday and am pumped….order yours!!!
Maybe you will get some coke zero headed your way

This is just the kind of thing that I have been waiting for. More signs that Marshall is ready to move past his childhood and become a mature adult. Hes ready to admit that he needs a little help and he is getting that help. This can’t hurt him and Jay’s onfield performance either. The better two players know each other, the better they can work together.

and excellent comments by all. Someone, perhaps the collective inside groop of people who have influence that BMarsh listens to, has actually gotten through to him. Letz just hope so! Its going to be a GREAT year!

can’t complain about this move. this seems to be the best outcome available after the fact, but i am not quite ready to forgive marshall for missing 2 early, important division games, as well as a game against a very good-looking saints team. but i agree, for the long-term, this might be exactly what brandon needs. to have guys like rod in your corner can only be beneficial. as for jay, this is a very classy and important move. he is taking on a leadership role at this early stage that somewhat surprises me. i can’t say enough about this guy. the rest is up to b-marsh. the peripherral issues have been taken out of the equation, and he will either excel or punch his ticket out of town from here. he still has a long ways to go, but this could potentially be a major turning point in his life, and the broncos fortunes. let’s hope it is
