in Broncos Greats...By The Numbers

The Candidates -
Darrell Hackney QB 2007-Present
Micah Knorr P/K 2002-04
Ruben Rodriguez P 1992
Chris Norman P 1986
Robert Thompson WR 1987
Rick Duncan K 1967
Do I really have to choose?? Sure, Micah Knorr could be a choice, simply because he was a Bronco the longest. That's no fun, however, but neither is trying to find any information about the other guys on the list.
Darrell Hackney is a fun choice, but I though I would go a different direction.
Thus, for me, when in doubt, revert back to the (not so) good ole' days in Broncos history, the 60's, and pick the place kicker that appeared in just 2 games for the Broncos, attempting a total of 5 FG's, converting only 2. That's right, some teams have names like Brett Favre that top their list of greats that wore #4. For the Broncos, it's almost as good....
The (not so)Greatest Bronco To Ever Wear #4 --
Rick Duncan, K - 1967
I know, you guys were hoping for a photo. Unfortunately his stay in Denver, and the AFL/NFL was too short for anyone to get a confirmed sighting. Such was football in Denver in the 60's.

This is my GAP, there are many like it but this one is mine. Without my GAP I am useless, without me, they will run through my GAP. I will protect my GAP and have my brothers back on his. I will not be moved from my GAP, I am a crazed dog that patrols this area and will defeat all who entire it. I own this GAP, it is mine. I bought it with blood and sweat. I will not be pushed. I will not be moved. This Sunday I will make a stand and a statement.

I still vote Hackney....
remember how all of us were calling for him to replace Ramsey as our backup?

I think we should do it
and then see if that’s helps Hackney keep a job going into next season… or perhaps not…(peering into the mind of 30-somthing coaches)
Coach McDaniels: “We can’t cut Hack because MHR named him the greatest player to don the #4 jersey.”
Little Bro McDaniels: “Hmm…couldn’t we just make him change jerseys and cut him then?”
Coach McDaniels: “That’s why you’re here little brother. Great thinking.” [waves Hack over] “Hack, you’re now going to wear #8.”
Hackney: “Uh…okay.”
Coach McDaniels: “Hey, Hack…make sure you swing by my office once you put that jersey on.”
Hackney: “Uh…okay, coach.”
Coach McDaniels and Little Bro McDaniels look at each other and remark in unison: “Brilliant!”

That is reason enough, that is a true savior of the Broncos.

Three QBs in '09?
I wonder if it would be possible to keep three QBs in 09. We might use a sixth or seventh round draft choice or an UFA as a back-up/developmental guy a la Brady and Hackney as a total change-of-pace guy. Of course we will have to keep Leach as the emergency fourth stringer.

No...we need the roster spot for a RB. lol
In fact, cut Ramsey too….BMarsh will be our back up. We need that extra roster spot for a RB also. :)

LOL Awesome pick!!
I’m officially going to start holding my breath until the team store comes out with the #4 Duncan jersey. Sorry Jay! : ))))))
